Chapter 45: The Fan
Chen Wanquan ate too much wine at noon, lay on the kang in a daze, and fell asleep, and soon snored like thunder. Xue sent the children who were playing at the door to the antique shop to deliver the letter, and took a half-day leave for Chen Wanquan. Xianglan helped the Xue family with housework inside and out, while listening to her chatter about the family's shortcomings.
After a busy time, Xianglan was worried about visiting Mrs. Dingyi, so she took a string of money, went to the shop on the street to buy two bags of pastries and fruits and other things, and when she arrived at Jingyue Nunnery, she knew that Mrs. Dingyi was in retreat, and she couldn't help but be very disappointed, so she had to leave the fruit cakes, and left a letter for Mrs. Dingyi, and left.
Bypassing the wall of Jingyue Nunnery, I heard someone say, "Yifei, why don't you use that fan from yesterday?" The poem on the top is so well titled, it's much more interesting than your landscape fan. ”
I only heard Song Ke say: "That poem is written in mud, what is it." ”
Xianglan took a look and saw two young men with their backs to her, one was Song Ke and the other was Lin Jinting. Lin Jinting smiled: "Why is it bad? 'The bright moon is far away, the orchid is empty, the small building hears the night flute, and Cen is lonely for three watches. Don't look at a few simple sentences, but there is a somber artistic conception in it, and it is good to let Ming'er compose a song and sing it. ”
Song Ke said with a smile: "What nonsense are you talking about, it's just a joke, such a fat thing spreads, Liu Daru should say that I don't do my job and have fun." ”
Lin Jinting snorted: "Are you still too busy to play? Now the annotations of the eight strands are only afraid that they can be memorized backwards, right? If I hadn't pulled you out to buy and turn around, you wouldn't know how long you would have been studying. ”
The two of them didn't hear what Xianglan said later, but they heard in their ears that "the bright moon is far away, the orchid is empty, Xiaolou hears the night flute, and Cen is lonely for three watches", and he was stunned for a long time. It turned out that she was exiled in her previous life, and she stayed in a dilapidated house by the river at night, the walls of the house were ventilated, cold and damp. When the sky gradually darkened, and there were no lights and candles in the room, only a half-curved waning moon hung in the sky, she leaned against the window and looked at the fishing fires on the river, and heard the faint sound of the flute in the distance. At this time, Xiao Hang was already sick and coughed halfway on the bedside.
This situation is too bleak and withered, so she brought Xiao Hang half a bowl of cold water, fed him to drink slowly, thought for a while, and said with a smile: "If it weren't for the fact that this house is too dilapidated, it's a little fun to live here, I'll make a couplet for you to see, you are a genius, but you are not allowed to laugh at me for being rude." ”
Xiao Hang took a breath, slightly hooked his pale lips, and said with a faint smile: "You are out of me." ”
She read: "The bright moon is far away, and Xiaolou is like a dream when he hears the flute." ”
Xiao Hang thought for a while and said, "Don't be a good person, Wan Lai Cen has been lonely for three years." ”
She smiled and said: "That's good, the pair of the two of us can make a poem, two of which are 'Xiaolou hears the night flute, Cen is lonely for three watches'." ”
Xiao Hang also smiled, his emaciated cheeks hidden in the shadows of the moonlight.
She suddenly stretched out her hand and slowly squeezed Xiao Hang's hand, Xiao Hang was stunned, and slowly clenched her.
In such a bleak situation, her heart was actually a little hot.
In fact, she knew that Xiao Hang had another beloved woman before marrying her, who was his aunt's cousin, and because the woman's family was too low, she had to give up. After marriage, she had seen the woman, who was peerless, full of poetry and books, and had good looks. Xiao Hang quietly kept a warm white jade safety buckle given to him by the woman, which was always tied around her neck, so that she knew that Xiao Hang married her mostly because of her grandfather's identity as the first assistant. Although the two of them were in harmony with each other, she felt uneasy in the end.
can be released from exile, and the road has been bumpy, but it has really worn out the affection of husband and wife.
The sentence "Xiaolou heard the night flute, Cen was lonely for three watches" made her playfully engraved on the wall of the dilapidated house.
Now that this sentence was inscribed by Song Ke, Xianglan felt like a thunderbolt on her head, her heart was pounding, and she couldn't help but take a few steps forward, almost hitting Lin Jinting.
Lin Jinting was displeased, turned his head and glared at Xianglan, and scolded: "What about you, do you have long eyes?" ”
Xianglan was still stunned, her eyes only stared at Song Ke, and she didn't realize what Lin Jinting said.
Lin Jinting glared at Xianglan and said, "Hey, hey, why didn't you even say a word after hitting the master?" Song Ke turned around and saw Xianglan standing behind him, and was about to speak, but saw that her bright and bright eyes seemed to be filled with tears, and the words choked in his throat and couldn't speak again.
Lin Jinting muttered: "Straight eyebrows, is it a stupid girl?" Go and pull Songko's arm, "Let's go, this man is already stupid." ”
Song Ke looked at Xianglan's eyes, and suddenly felt a little flustered, as if those eyes looked straight into his bones, illuminating his heart, liver and lungs, containing long love and a faint trace of sorrow, but he couldn't extricate himself. He knew that this was not the right time to speak, but his feet seemed to have taken root and could not be pulled out.
At this time, Lin Jinting's little servant Lu'er Baba ran over and said: "The private room of Shunfu Building has been prepared, a table of fine refreshments, and a good West Lake Longjing, the two masters please come over." ”
Lin Jinting had already been hungry and thirsty, and when he heard this, he said happily: "It's just right, hurry over." ”
Song Ke looked around, and saw that there was a calligraphy and painting shop nearby that sold pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other things, so he said to Lin Jinting: "You go first, I'll buy some pen and ink and then go over." ”
Lin Jinting said disdainfully: "In the land of the market, how can there be any good four treasures of the study, I will give you Fang Duan Yan in Ming'er." ”
Song Ke smiled: "You don't understand this, what you bought is a wild fun." ”
Lin Jinting was thirsty, and when he heard Song Ke say this, he waved his hand and said, "That's it, you buy it, I want to go and drink hot tea first." "I followed Lu'er.
When Lin Jinting walked away, Song Ke looked back at Xianglan again, only to see that her complexion was like jade, her delicate eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, with a blank look, Song Ke felt that he couldn't see enough, his heartbeat was several times faster, he lowered his head and coughed and said, "I met you again, you are not on an errand in the house, what are you doing here?" ”
The words "on an errand in the house" were like a basin of cold water poured on her head, Xianglan hung her head and said: "Today, my aunt will allow me to take a vacation, and I will go home to see my father." ”
Song Ke didn't know why her face was suddenly full of sadness, so she asked, "Is there something going on at home?" ”
Xianglan shook her head, and when she raised her head, the sadness on her face was gone, and she showed a smile and said, "It's a coincidence that I can meet Uncle Song here." I wanted to ask about those two lines of poetry, but I couldn't open my mouth.
Song Ke saw her smile, and smiled unconsciously: "Xiu Hongfei pulled me around the street." ”
After that, there was no more to say. Song Ke was a little secretly annoyed with himself, he was a human being in two lives, and his only wish was to become an official on the gold list and make a career to make up for the regret of his death in his previous life, he felt that he had already seen everything lightly, but in the face of a little girl, his heart was like a dozen little rabbits, pounding and jumping.
After a while, Song Ke found a conversation and said, "I'm going to go shopping in the calligraphy and painting shop, you can go with me." ”
Unexpectedly, Xianglan also said at the same time: "The ...... on your fan"
Song Ke said: "What? ”
Xianglan was stunned, shook her head again, and said, "It's nothing." He took a breath and said with a smile: "Just now you said that you were going to the shop, go in and have a look." After saying that, he walked to the shop first.
The shopkeeper was leaning on the chair and napping, and suddenly saw a young man come in, and hurriedly greeted him.
Song Ke didn't know what he wanted to buy, he looked at the Xuelang paper, and then looked at the various colors of paint, remembering that his sister Tan Hai said that he had been chanting poems and painting with Lin Dongqi for the past two days, and he still lacked some pigments and stationery. So he asked the shopkeeper to pick up the best ones, and wrapped a medium dye, a small dye, two taels of cinnabar, two taels of stone yellow, two taels of Guanghua, and two pieces of rouge.
When paying the bill, Song Ke quietly glanced at Xianglan a few times, only to see her burying her head, not knowing what she was thinking about. This girl, when she bumped into someone, looked at him with a pair of tears of joy and sorrow, and then her face was dazed, and then she was sad, but now she couldn't tell her thoughts.
Out of the shop, he cleared his throat and said, "After Cao Lihuan went out of the house, I still wanted to bring you over, who knew that you were going to serve Aunt Lan again." If you don't have a good time with Aunt Lan, I'll tell my wife in two days that you'll go to my sister's. She has a soft temperament and is the most generous to people. ”
Xianglan's heart was sour, but there was a trace of unbearable joy, and asked, "Really?" ”
Song Ke smiled slightly: "This is natural, if you have anything difficult in the future, just come to me." ”
Seeing his sincere gaze, Xianglan couldn't help but purse her lips and laugh, saying, "It is inevitable to trouble Uncle Song in the future." ”
Song Ke felt that her smile was like the beginning of spring ice, his heart was itchy, and he fluttered more and more, and the hand behind his back clenched the fan tightly, but his face was calm, and he nodded vigorously and said, "What kind of trouble?" Just come. After a pause, he smiled and said, "But I asked you to help me make a stationery cover, but I never saw you do it." ”
Xianglan blushed slightly and said, "I was too busy a few days ago, so I'll do it for you when I have time in two days." ”
Her slightly drooping eyelashes were dense and long, and the whole person stood under the light like a person made of jade, Song Ke was reluctant to leave, and saw his own little maid Tingquan probing his brain not far away, so he had to say: "I have to go, now I live in the courtyard on the north side of the Lin Mansion." ”
Xianglan nodded, said a blessing, and said with a smile: "Uncle Song, please go slowly." ”
Song Ke took two steps, suddenly turned back, stuffed the fan in his hand into Xianglan's hand, and said, "You just said the fan, this one will be given to you." He turned around and walked away.
She looked at Song Ke's back, and her heart suddenly emptied. She opened the folding fan in her hand, and the exquisite painting fan painted a pool of blue water wrinkled by the wind, and there were faint green mountains in the distance, and a small crystal pendant was decorated under the fan. Xianglan silently put up the fan. Originally, she wanted to ask about those two lines of poetry and ask Song Ke if he was that person...... But my heart suddenly faded again. What's the use of asking? She is no longer the noble daughter of the noble family at the beginning, but she is just a maid, is it possible to expect him to continue her relationship? The status in this life is a hurdle that cannot be overcome, could it be that she is willing to become his concubine?
But he was affectionate and considerate to her, but she couldn't help but be happy in her heart, as if the seed in her heart broke through the ground and gave birth to a tender green shoot.
She knew she shouldn't covet it, but she couldn't stop it. -------
