19. White-haired old man
"Well, it's boring." Xiaoxiao thought helplessly.
Yunzhou didn't think so.
The boat slowly rowed through the waves, not disturbing the sound at all. As the music drew to a close, the last note was finished, and the ship landed just ashore. Yun Zhou exclaimed: "It really deserves to be the last voice of the Great Sage." ”
Yun Jian and Tang Jingxuan's pianos are both precious. Yunjian's piano is called "Shennong Langsi", and Tang Jingxuan's piano is "The Great Sage's Relic Voice". The Shennong qin of the cloud sword, is made by the contemporary master, imitating the style of the ancient Shennong's legend of the treasure qin, with the paulownia wood chopping as the body, the color is yellow and dense, with the red sandalwood as the tail of Yue, fine and sophisticated, the whole body is covered with black lacquer, thick and smooth, the golden emblem is listed on it, and the geese want to fly.
Yun Zhou once said that if it weren't for this piano, how could it be matched with the hand of the big brother stroking the strings.
At that time, Xiaoxiao thought that the young lady and the eldest son were also like piano and hand...... Alas, this can only be thought about.
As for Tang Jingxuan's qin, Xiaoxiao has only heard of it, and only heard a rough idea, in short, it is a guqin, which has really been handed down from an early age, and it is said that there were originally only five strings, which is the oldest style, and later, when the lyre began to become popular, the violinist at that time added two strings to it, which became the common seven-string style today. It also has an inscription on it-
"The giant gully welcomes autumn, and the cold river prints the moon. Ten thousand sounds are long, and the lonely tung is cracked. Yun Zhou sighed, "The name is well deserved." ”
Shinoxiao didn't understand.
Of course, Yunzhou didn't want her to understand.
If she can understand everything about Yunzhou, what should Yunzhou do with her? Do you think of her as a lover with a heart-to-heart relationship? Or an old enemy? No, no! Xiaoxiao does not touch the two sides. This is a blessing for her.
The role of a girl is to be more active than furniture and more capable than cats and dogs. but they are inferior to our confidants and friends. In this way, we can send them to do things with peace of mind.
Xiaoxiao greeted the girl on the shore onto the boat.
Tang Jingxuan stopped his hand and let the servants put away the piano.
Yunzhou didn't say anything, what applause and cheers, throwing flowers and fruits, don't even think about it! If she really did this, Tang Jingxuan would be scared to death.
Her boat landed gently, without disturbing his harp, and that was enough. Tang Jingxuan's heart was at peace, as if it was a good night on the moon. Watch an epiphany bloom after it blooms. That's it.
Then he had the strength to notice—uh. What the hell is that team that left in the spur on the shore? Why is that sedan chair familiar?
That's Lin Dai's sedan chair!
Taking advantage of the cover of the hills, she directly pulled all her people away! Oh, with your own people, there is this advantage: command!
After she came out of Xie's house. It's all your own people. Eat her food, receive her money, accept her affections, and listen to her calls. She sent many messengers. I'm not afraid that people will trouble her; She gives more silver rewards, and is not afraid that people will sour her and her inheritance is rich; She said that she would change her mind if she changed her mind, and she was not afraid that people would not listen to her - she was afraid that people would be cheeky and stick to her.
So she still took advantage of the hills to hide her tracks. Resolutely pull out your feet and slip away.
Yunzhou was also shrewd, and immediately sent a girl to embellish her. But Yunzhou didn't expect Lin Dai to dare so much! Otherwise, she might have given the girl a death order: stop Miss Lin from leaving no matter what, or at least you have to follow Miss Lin, otherwise you won't have to come back to see me!
The girl didn't receive a tough order, how dare she be so cheeky? And Lin Dai had a good reason, and resolutely asked her to go back to the boat to bring a message to Yunzhou, and she herself quickly led the team away.
The girl had to come back with a bitter face, seeing that the boat did not turn around to pick her up, she was so frightened that she was angry with Yunzhou and left her, and hurried with tears in her eyes, and the family discipline was strict and she did not dare to shout loudly on the shore, but fortunately, the boat docked after all, she boarded the boat and reported to Yunzhou: Lin Dai said that he wanted to see a monument to the filial piety of the former generation nearby. It's boring, so I won't invite my sisters to accompany me. Go and go back, you don't have to break down and wait for her.
…… Liar!
Also filial piety!
This kind of excuse is clearly unreliable, just like "Teacher, I have a stomachache today and take a day off", and I don't even talk about the professional ethics of the liar, and it has no credibility at all!
But can Yunzhou still jump off the boat and chase her?
Lin Dai's team went far away.
Walk not far away, there is a clear sparkling stream in front, there is a longboard bridge lying on the water, bent like a moon bow, cross the stream, see three or five households, are thatched huts bamboo fences, occasionally open a few small vegetable fields, sparsely planted with a few peach blossoms. Beyond that, there is farmland. The little flower girl once said that her house was behind the woods behind the farmland.
Lin Dai looked out from the gap in the sedan curtain, and sure enough, he saw a low hill behind the farmland, lush and green, and there was a black cornice behind the tree.
In that round of yards, there are more than ten houses in four turns, which is really big in the countryside. Back then, he was a very wealthy family, and he had a good style and was praised by the government. Now there is a filial piety monument next to it. It's just deserted, and no one pulls out the green weeds around the monument.
There was a man standing in front of the courtyard, looking up, and through the gap between the trees, he could see the blue sky, as blue as the distant sea. A few clouds were in the air, the edges as clear as they were carved, and so quiet that they didn't move there, as if they were fake.
The yellow-billed bird jumps from branch to branch, singing, and fluttering its wings. The man's gaze was lowered, and when he saw the procession passing through the peach trees, he fixed his eyes on the truth, and turned back to report the news.
Lin Dai and the others arrived in front of the courtyard gate, but saw that the door was closed. I don't know how many years the door is, it used to be magnificent, and it was still wrapped in brass, but now the copper skin is peeling, the iron tires inside are rusty, and the two door knockers are still there. Try to buckle it, and the strange sound of the ring handle creaking is louder than the sound of buckling. Guo Huitian angrily slapped off the rust stains on his palm, and then made his strength stronger, and deducted it a few times. Finally, there was a voice inside, with some dissatisfaction, surprise, dullness, as if he hadn't woken up, and seemed to be sick, and said, "Wait! Here it comes! ”
The country accent is very strong, and Xinger combines the context and can understand it. Guo Huitian waited.
It took a while for the people inside to open the door. Guo Hui innocently wanted to ask: "Are you lame?" Or is the road ten miles long? You're going to be walking for so long? ”
The door opened, but Guo Huitian had no choice but to swallow the words back.
It was a white-haired old man in a yellow shirt and shoes.
Yellow is the yellow like earth, Zhu is the inferior cinnabar that has faded the Zhu, and Bai is the white of the old frost and snow. How old is he? He is shorter than Guo Huitian's chest, like a big shrimp.
The owner of this house is ruthless! More ruthless than Aunt Ying! Dare to use such an old man to answer the door. Sure enough, people were embarrassed to quarrel with him—but weren't they afraid of delaying things?
Guo Huitian told him to make a gesture, meaning that he wanted to go in and take a look at the room inside, and asked him to show the way.
Lao Cangtou raised his eyes and looked at Guo Huitian and a group of family members behind him, and gasped - it really made people worry that he would suck all his teeth into his stomach!
Then the old man stepped back and closed the door again!
"Squeak!" The squeak of the door shaft turning is more piercing than the "bang" when the door is closed. Guo Huitian stood the closest, bearing the brunt, his teeth were sore, and he rolled his eyes for a while before he could muster up the courage to continue knocking on the door.
The old man spoke. He was quiet. Guo Huitian had no choice but to stop knocking on the door, and put his ears on the door panel to listen to him: "When the master is here, explain that you should be careful of the door." A bunch of you, like robbers, I don't open the door. ”
Strip away the heavy vernacular and strange slang, and the final gist is probably like this.
Guo Huitian was angry and funny, and wanted to explain to him: "We are not robbers, we are-"
"The old man bolted the door!" The sound is enough to see. Guo Huitian's ears are still on the edge of the door panel! He was shocked and took three steps backwards, and was damaged by Yan Zòng's magic.
It seems that this door is not easy to enter. He had no choice but to go to Lin Dai first.
Lin Dai didn't have a better way. I have to follow the rules of other people's places in other people's places! She asked the family to stand farther away, and changed the grandmother to call the door. This time it finally made sense. The old cangtou heard that they wanted to rent a room to live, and promised to let them see, but the main gate was in disrepair, and it was inconvenient to open it, and it was not good to carry it into the sedan chair of Lin Dai.
It's really curious, so where did his "master" go?
The old man wiped his old eyes and complained: The whole family is ruined! Dead and scattered! The rest of the people went to other towns to join relatives and friends. Leave this house for him to guard. As for the lord? That's heaven too! He is here to guard the house and the rules of the old man's time.
Lin Dai really wanted to kick him on the door! What kind of female relatives rush into their feng shui? Isn't their house already dilapidated? And so many stinky rules!
If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan.
Shinobu Hayashiro.
She asked again as if she had no intention of it: "Then the girl Lin came in front of her, and she also entered through the waist door?" ”
"yes." The old man said.
Lin Dai asked where the little girl who sold flowers was. The old man said that she was also a distant child of the master's family, and lived here with her parents, and now she went to the field with her parents.
When he reached the waist door while speaking, the sedan chair could enter, but it was cramped. After entering, go around the shadow wall, a high threshold, this is the parking place. The sedan chair stops here. According to the rules when the family was still prosperous and cleaned, the sedan chair man retreated, and the rough mother came to help the girl get off the sedan chair, enter the room, and then change the maid who was called by the inside.
There are not so many people at this time, they are all people brought by Lin Dai himself to serve. The palanquin man only retreated to the outside of the shadow wall. Guo Huitian and the other two most capable pairs of family members came in first and stood outside. Lin Dai entered the threshold, and the old man came to close the door, and greeted: "Rules!" Propriety! ”
It means that according to the rules, he has to close the door inside, so that the man can't stand there and see the inner courtyard directly.
All right! If you want to follow the rules of Xie Mansion, the family members can't enter the shadow wall yet! Even when Lin Dai lived by himself, it was not allowed. It's not that she's closed, but she just thinks that the security is not so good these days, and it doesn't hurt to have a strict access control - this is even if the old man is justified! (To be continued......)
