Chapter Seventy-Two: A Night Trip to the Blue Sea
72 Blue Sea Night Tour
"I heard from my sister, and Dr. Simon often comes to Youlanxie to play the piano and compose music with her." Ying'er said.
"Uh-yes, Miss Lu, like Mrs., is a senior disciple of Mr. Ouyang, whether it is the style of music or the artistic conception, it is very similar to Mr. Ouyang back then, and playing with it is like talking to Mr. Ouyang." Ximen Bai said very humbly.
"Although Dr. Simon and his teacher are separated by yin and yang, they use the seven strings as a bridge, and the spirits intersect and play good music together, which really makes our sisters admire." At this time, Wei Xi came over and said.
"Where can we talk about the intersection of gods and souls, I have been in the world by mistake for decades, and I have been entangled in mundane affairs all day long, and mundane things are disturbed by mundane things, and I have long been swept into the dye vat. Where is there a little bit of Master Ouyang's backbone, Miss Lu is serious. Although Ximen Bai's words are humble, they are also true.
"Dr. Simon works hard for state affairs, shares worries for the king, and benefits the people, how can it be a secular business." Ying'er said, seeing that Ximen Bai's teacup was shallow, she came over and picked up the teapot and was about to pour it for him.
"Don't don't, Mrs. Shizi, I can't help it, I'll come by myself, come by myself." With that, he took the teapot. At the moment of receiving the teapot, the hands of the two inadvertently touched, Ying'er's hand retracted nervously, and Ximen Bai also froze for a moment, and poured the tea into his cup in a little panic.
This point of the two of them was seen by Lu Weixi, could it be that there is really something between the two? In order to break this short embarrassment, Weixi hurriedly said: "Why does Doctor Ximen see the outside like this, Ying'er is Weixi's junior sister, and she can be regarded as half of the master here, and the host does not make tea for guests, so it should be." β
"How dare you bother Mrs. Shizi to make tea for me, this ...... Inconsequential. Ximen Bai still said humbly, but he remembered in his heart that when he went to Tianxiangtai before, which time was not Ying Ying'er serving tea and pouring wine by herself, and now she is the woman of the world, although it is not the main room, but the two still have a difference in status, which inevitably makes Ximen Bai feel lonely again, and the loneliness he feels this time just drowned out the beauty of the skin contact with Ying'er just now.
"Where is the lady of the world, hehe, it's just a piece of the prince's enjoyment utensils, just like this vase, the main room of the prince, called Yun Yao, is the general's daughter, not a kabuki like me who came out of the fireworks upstairs." Ying'er slowly returned to her seat, looked at a gorgeous vase placed over there, and said a little sadly.
"Madame, don't say such things, the king is the king, the minister is the minister, since the lady is already a son, that is the minister should be respected." When Ximen Bai heard Ying'er's words just now, he felt that Ying'er didn't seem to be doing very well with the prince, but he couldn't comfort him, so he had to say things like a monarch and a minister.
When Ying'er heard Ximen Bai's words, she suddenly felt a trace of inexplicable sadness in her heart, and this trace of sadness made her sober up a lot. She used to be a prostitute, he was an official, and when he came, she tried her best to flatter, and Bojun smiled.
But fortunately, this Simon doctor is not like other domineering executives and wealthy businessmen, he is always gentle and approachable. Although he is devoted to this Dr. Simon, he does have a lot of good feelings, and he only regards him as a friend, but will he also regard a person like himself as a friend? Now she saw this approachable Dr. Simon, humble and respectful, and cautious. The opening and closing of the mouth are the lady, the monarch and the minister, what is it, an invisible and thick wall has been erected between the two of them. Ying'er suddenly felt unfamiliar, so she didn't speak again.
"Sister, Dr. Simon is a protΓ©gΓ© of Confucius, and he is a person who reads poetry and books, so he naturally wants to talk about respect and humility, and now that my sister is with the prince, her identity is naturally different." Seeing that Ying'er didn't speak, Weixi continued: "Fortunately, there are no outsiders today, so let's not be too restrained, it's better to be natural." β
"Doctor Simon has been working on tunes with Miss lately, and recently he has composed a new song, and today it happens that Ying'er-Madame is also there, why don't you let her comment on it for you?" Xiaoxue saw that Ying'er and Ximen Bai didn't want to talk anymore, so she suggested.
"Xiaoxue, this girl is really good at talking nonsense, the piano skills of my senior sister and Dr. Simon are not above me, how can I comment on them." Ying'er blamed.
"Yes, where can it be called Jingyan, it is completely only the guidance of Miss Lu." Simon White remained humble.
"Doctor Simon is too humble, the doctor's piano skills, even the teacher praises it, where does Weixi dare to point, everyone exchanges experiences with each other." After Weixi finished speaking, he instructed Xiaoxue: "Xiaoxue, you go and bring the 'Lingquan Waterfall' that I recently went to Chang'an to give to Dr. Ximen." β
"Yes," Xiaoxue agreed and went in. After entering for a while, Xiaoxue came out with a beautifully made guzheng and placed it in front of Ximen Bai.
Ximen Bai took a closer look, and then plucked a few strings, and the clear and beautiful sound of the piano immediately flew out of the strings, and the aftermath lingered. "Good piano! What a piano! Ximen Bai couldn't help but admire.
Ying'er was humiliated by Yun Yao and others in the afternoon, and she was already in a bad mood, but now when she saw her senior sister and Ximen Bai preparing to play, she remembered even more the scene when she and Ximen Bai were in Tianxiangtai in the past, they might be like themselves before. Hehe, now that kind of scene is no longer possible, Ying'er actually has a little jealousy in her heart, jealous of Senior Sister and Ximen Bai. She knew in her heart that she was just jealous of the freedom of the past.
"How can you play the piano without burning incense, Xiaoxue, bring the incense sent by the Tianxiangtai sisters and light it." Weixi said, glancing at Xiaoxue.
Xiaoxue understood, went into the house and took out a long box, opened it, took out a slender incense stick, lit it, inserted it in the incense burner, and then placed the incense burner next to Ximen Bai.
When everything was ready, Ximen Bai started plucking the strings. Ying'er had no intention of enjoying it, but Jian Ximen Bai was full of interest, so she had to listen quietly. Although she didn't want to, Ying'er listened to it for a while, and she probably heard something, this Ximen Bai really didn't grow at all, and she still liked this kind of gorgeous and cheerful court music, which was played to those emperors and concubines.
This kind of tune seems elegant, but in front of a disciple trained by a worldly master like Ouyang Lu, who is not close to the fireworks of the world, it is indeed extremely kitsch. Ying'er is not a high-minded person, she still thinks it is kitsch, but looking at the senior sister next to her, she is sitting next to her without any expression. Ying'er thought to herself: "Senior sister is such a proud person, she can't get used to listening to such vulgar music, but why did she help Ximen Bai compose such a tune?" Is it to cater to him? The princes and nobles of Jinling are no worse than this Ximen Bai, right? Ying'er didn't think much about it, because her heart was too chaotic.
At the end of the song, Weixi looked at Ximen Bai's unfinished and self-absorbed look, not to mention how disgusted he was. glanced at Ying'er sideways, and saw that the corners of her mouth were slightly pursed, and she seemed to be dissatisfied. But Weixi still took the lead in saying: "I didn't expect that I hadn't seen it for a few days, and the doctor was so proficient in this song, it's really surprising."
"This song is gorgeous and cheerful, and people can't put it down, so I played it a few more times, but I had the help of Miss Lao Lu." Simon Baile said happily.
"This song is indeed pleasing to the ear, and it is elegant, and if Dr. Simon can write the lyrics for it, it will be a perfect work." Ying'er also chimed in.
"Mrs. has won the award, fill in the lyrics, but she is not in the next director, young talents abound in Chang'an City, why don't you ask Miss Lu to pass on this song and let everyone help fill in the lyrics?" Simon Bai came up with such an idea.
"I'm afraid that the scholars in Chang'an City will not sleep for several nights." Ying'er looked at Weixi and said with a smile.
"I know how to make fun of your sister, what, don't you come to a song? Look at what new songs you've composed for the son of the world over the years? Weixi suggested.
"Forget it today, I'm not in that interest," Ying'er said lazily.
Weixi naturally understands that Ying'er is now forcing a smile, so she is not reluctant. At this time, Ximen Bai said: "Yes, Madame must not play today, in this whole world, how can there be a reason for the Lord to play the piano and the subordinates to listen?" If the two ladies and sisters exchanged and listened to it, it would be fine, so they had no choice but to leave. β
"Doctor Simon, this gentleman and minister, I won't talk to you about it, the right doctor can play a song, and now he has to have a song." As he spoke, he took the jade flute.
"Okay!" "Okay, it's been a long time since I've heard my sister's flute." Ximen Bai and Ying'er applauded in unison.
Xiaoxue saw that the girl was ready, so she went over and took the pillar of incense in front of Ximen Bai just now and put it in front of Weixi and Ying'er.
Weixi Yu's fingers pressed the small hole, and the qi sank into the dantian, and slowly flowed out through the red lips to the jasper, and a low flute sound dispersed. The sound of the flute is low, long, and hazy. At first, it was as if entering an empty hall, and inside the hall was a long, layered veil of light yarn, and people walked and walked in it, but they could not get out of the door of this hall...... Later, it was like lying on a lonely boat, and the lonely boat floated and sank with the waves in a vast ocean, like duckweed, unable to distinguish between east and west, north and south...... Later, it was like falling into a deep nightmare on a soft bed, on a hot afternoon, and I couldn't wake up no matter how hard I struggled......
Wrong! How could the senior sister play such a beautiful sound, this flute sound scatters people's energy, charms the spirit, and makes people groggy and soft. I can't lift the slightest bit of spirit and strength at all, what's going on?
Ying'er was about to open her mouth to ask her senior sister, but when she saw that her senior sister was completely unleaved, she was concentrating on playing the jade flute. Ying'er felt bad, and when she looked at Ximen Bai again, she was already lying on the case, and she was a little less awake at the moment, and she raised her hand and just shouted: "Senior sister, ......", but this flute sound was like a drug, gradually, gradually, Ying'er didn't know anything.
β¦β¦
The sound of the flute gradually fell, Weixi put down the jade flute in his hand, and said faintly: "The beautiful sound of this night tour in the blue sea and the ethereal fragrance of this god, you should also have a good rest." β
