Chapter 13: Strange Things in Everything (1)

That day, he sent Jian Yunzhen away, and because the rock top was there, Xiang Ye didn't talk much with him.

The next day, Xiang Ye received a return gift from Jian Yunzhen.

In the box was a hand-copied sheet music, and a letter was attached to it.

Wu Rui accompanied Xiang Ye by her side, seeing that she had never lost her smile since she got the box. In the afternoon, the wind rose, and the light on the windowsill was choking and stinging, Xiang Ye quietly read the letter under the window, his head pressed out a black shadow, and he wanted to swallow a few lines of ink. From time to time, she pulled away the broken hair of her itchy face, and stared at the words with big eyes without moving. When the wind was light, she spread out the paper while drawing the words with her fingers, and her mouth was open, and she followed silently.

Wu Rui saw her doll appearance, and wondered in her heart, what kind of person Jian Yunzhen is, who can make the young lady who has always been calm, change back to the way she was when she was a child.

Jian Yunzhen's letter reads: "I have only started preparing the score two years ago, and I have been trying my best to find a unique book, but due to the short time, the selection is still limited. Some of the ancient scores above, you may have heard of them. For you, the folk music in the second section should be a little more novel, they were originally songs passed down from generation to generation in the local tribes of the frontier, and I changed them to piano scores. At first, I wanted to send you the ancient books that I saved directly, but some of them are difficult to recognize after a long time; Some of them are made of bamboo, and you may be pricked when you look at them, so I copied a copy for you myself. I thought that I would gather more and send you together, but I received your clothes that day, and I didn't want to ask you to wait any longer. If you want to hang my memory, I will send you a copy first. When the collection is full, another one will be given. I know you love to play the piano at night, but remember to light more lights and protect your eyes. Ye Ye, when I saw the orchid on my clothes, I seemed to see the joy that I had been waiting for all my life. ”

Xiang Ye finished reading word by word, the corners of his mouth were raised higher and higher, and he couldn't close it anymore. She pinched the letter and pressed it against her chest, as if feeling warmth. She put down the crumpled paper, smoothed out every crease of it, and stuffed it into an envelope and a treasure chest.

She looked at the open treasure chest, staring at the sunlight on her face. Suddenly, he covered his face with his hands and smiled with his eyes closed. Her happiness infected the sun, making it no longer hot and spicy, forcing people to flee, but the warmth of the ocean, like a gentle veil brushing by. The small trees in the courtyard, their leaves soaked in the golden sea, washed themselves brightly, listened to the wind, and shook lazily.

Wu Rui stood quietly behind Xiang Ye, looking at her and smiling, and also raised the corners of her mouth, Miss has always been the most endearing in her heart.

After another two days, the Yamen sent to check the stolen paintings again changed quickly, and after some careful inspection, they also found that on the beam of the study, there were suspected stick figures drawn by "Guan Yike" with a sword.

Sometimes, when waiting for the right time to steal paintings, he will use a small sword to carve stick figures for recreation. The people on the side didn't understand, so they thought it was just a few scratches, but for the people who specially searched for him, they could still distinguish his usual shadow from these messy patterns.

Both sides suspected that it was "Guanyike", and this "Guanyike" always gave Xiang Ye a sense of déjà vu, although it may not necessarily help the investigation, but Xiang Ye still decided to find a friend to check the file of the famous "Guanyike".

Because Xiang Ye holds the emperor's special bookcard, he can choose the time he chooses in the morning when the officials are restless, and enter the library in the palace to read. This is also a big reason why she can become friends with the weird person "Wen Qingyi" in the eyes of everyone.

Unfortunately, today was the day of rest, and Xiang Ye had to go to Wen Qingyi's house outside the palace to find her.

Her home outside the palace is a single-family house with a small courtyard, far from the lively city. Her father and grandfather were both Chinese officials in the dynasty, and the previous dynasty was framed to death, and the emperor ascended the throne before rehabilitating her family and pursuing merit. Her father's friend remembered the old love, and Ben found her a respected teacher to study with. Unexpectedly, the year before last, her father's friend and the teacher who had taken care of her since she was a child passed away two months ago.

The house where Wen Qingyi lives now was bought by her grandfather when he went to Beijing to prepare for the exam, the house has been in place for some years, the pure gray tiles have worn off a lot of color, and the white wall outside is stained. It rained for a long time last night, and the wall was moistened, plain and deep, and it was unique.

Xiang Ye walked all the way, through the crowded neighborhood, walked through the endless fields, the hill was close in front of him, the rice was slender, he stepped on the wet mud road, and went up the small stone steps. In front of Wen Qingyi's house, the stone-paved road was not tight, but the soles of his feet were comfortable. The mud on the shoes, after a few steps, all rubbed against the stone floor, and it was all gone.

The door of Wen Qingyi's house, like the most old-fashioned temple, the difference is that hers is made of mottled old wood, accumulated over time, the mud color is too heavy, and the red ground is from top to bottom, driving away the purity of the logs. The wood was not smooth, leaving slightly convex time marks, reflecting the folds, and the door seemed to be sealed with a discarded broken shoe, a few strange two-winged birds, a slender ear, and three or four scattered eyes, which were strange to be mottled. Look again, two round-headed iron beasts bite the buckle to crack the door, the northeast and northwest corners hang two carved rings that can't understand the pattern, along the top frame, she repaired a fine wood, the wood rules are carved with the same image in sections, a small man with four strokes standing on the boat with his hands open, no wind and no waves, but he can see the wind and waves.

Xiang Ye knew that Wen Qingzhen didn't like superfluous people to enter her house, not because she was afraid of getting dirty, according to her original words, it was easy to get turbid.

Xiang Ye asked Wurui to wait outside the door, and he stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Knocking on the door of Wen Qingyi's house is exquisite. Because her family stands alone at the foot of a hill, there are often pedestrians passing by, so she wants to beg for a bowl of water and borrow a meal, but she is the most annoying in her life. So when she took Xiang Ye home a long time ago, she told Xiang Ye that if a friend came to look for me, I had to knock on the door three times on the left, two times on the right, and then one time on the left. Although the buckles on both sides are made the same, but the weight is different, and when she knocks it, she can hear it clearly.

Xiang Ye still remembers that at that time, she asked Wen Qingyi, why bother so much, she came, stood outside the door and shouted, didn't she recognize it.

Wen Qingzhen told her: "Don't, if all my friends come and shout at the top of their voices, it will be really scary, not to mention what they are doing, and the birds in the trees will be annoying for a day." ”

Xiang Ye remembered that at that time, she laughed heartily after listening to it, and found it quite interesting, and also made this secret agreement with Wen Qingyi. For so many years, although there is only one friend who can come to Wen Qingyi's house to find her, although there is only one Xiang Ye, the two of them will still play this little appointment every time, as it is a unique and valuable pastime.

Xiang Ye knocked on the door according to the rules, and before he waited for a while, Wen Qingyi answered the door in the door.

When she opened the door, her hands were wet, two white handkerchiefs hung from her belt, her hair was neatly tied, and when she turned around, a simple yellow braided cord was exposed. The coarse cloth is tender and the lips are full and moist, and she has not seen her for many days, but she is still as beautiful as ever.

Entering the door, Wen Qingyi spoke: "I'm busy now, I don't have time to make tea." If you are thirsty, go get some water to drink, your cup is on the second floor of the kitchen cabinet, and the new pottery cup is on the first floor, and when the turnip has been drunk, you don't need to take it back. ”

Xiang Ye nodded after her, let her be busy on the wooden ladder first, and went into the house to pour water and drink. After taking a new pottery cup and delivering water to Wurui, she returned to the yard and saw that the water on Wen Qingyi's ladder had been mixed, so she asked her, "Do you want to change a pot for you?" ”

Wen Qingyi didn't reply: "After changing the flower dew on the windowsill." ”

Xiang Ye finished doing as she said, and leaned under the tree to look at her: "Qingyi, how often do you wash this leaf?" ”

Wen Qingyi said: "It's dusty, it's not bright, it's time to wash." After saying that, he put the stains on the towel again, washed it and set it aside.

The reason why Wen Qingyi is strange is that her brain is better than others, the second is that she is more proud than others, the third is that she is skillful, and the fourth is that she is thinking around.

The tree in Wen Qingyi's yard was a fake tree that her grandfather bought on the street after passing the test. The man who sold the fake tree said that he wanted to raise money to marry his wife, so he put up a price on the street. It just so happened that his grandfather met it, and when he saw that the tree was tall, the leaves were green, and the veins were strong, he liked it a little. Although the price of the seller is high, if you move it in the yard, you can be evergreen all year round without raising it, and the omen is very good. Without much hesitation, her grandfather spent most of his savings to carry the tree.

Later, I found out that this tree is quite wonderful, the leaves do not fall, but throughout the year, it also changes color. In the spring, the green is thin, in the summer it is hard, in the autumn it starts to turn yellow, and in the winter it turns red.

Wen Qingyi grew up with this tree since she was a child, and she clearly remembers that her grandfather asked her to take good care of this tree before he died.

This spectacle is also the reason why Wen Qingyi often locks the door. She was reluctant to hand over the tree to the royal family, nor did she want the tree to be watched all day long, but fortunately, although the tree was tall, it was no match for the walls of her house, and it had been well protected.

Wen Qingyi's habit is currently only known to Xiang Ye and her dead teacher. Her favorite thing to do, besides reading, is to wash the leaves, the leaves of the tree in her yard.

The tree does not shed leaves, but it does shed ash and attracts birds to nest. In order to keep it clean and vibrant, Wen Qingyi would climb the wooden ladder every time, take two white handkerchiefs, wash one in water, and gently dry them, and so on, tirelessly.

Wen Qingyi washed for a while, then turned around and kneaded the handkerchief, she asked Xiang Ye, "What are you looking for me?" ”

Xiang Ye said: "I'll talk about it when you're done." ”

Wen Qingyi smiled and continued to wash the leaves.

This wash washed until the sun yawned and tired, and a yawn came out, and the sky was half red.

Wen Qingzhen sat on the couch in the room, washed two peaches, nibbled one himself, handed the other to Xiang Ye, and said, "Let's talk about it now." ”

Xiang Ye explained to her the theft of the paintings at home, and asked her: "You have a file of 'Guanyike' there, if there is, I want to see it, there may be clues." ”

Wen Qingyi replied: "I know him, he's quite interesting." I'll take care of it tomorrow morning, and you come to the palace to find me to get it." ”

Xiang Ye nodded.

Wen Qingyi suddenly laughed evilly, took a big bite of the crispy peach and chewed: "I've heard a lot of your stories recently, what's the matter, don't wait for the wooden bird lover, and are you going to switch to General Gentle Township?" ”

Xiang Ye glanced at her and smiled shallowly: "He is the owner of another wooden bird." ”

Wen Qingyi raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes, the marriage is predetermined, it is a good story." ”

Xiang Ye nibbled on a peach and smiled sweetly.

After eating, Xiang Ye lost the core and asked her: "Qingyi, I really haven't asked before, what kind of son do you like?" ”

Wen Qingzhen also lost the core and replied to her: "According to your old man's opinion, what kind of match do I have?" ”

Xiang Ye looked into her eyes and smiled: "The best in this world." ”

Wen Qingyi lowered her head and pursed her lips, and replied to her: "Yes, if you want to love, you will love what I think is best." ”

Xiang Ye said: "Which one?" ”

Wen Qingyi said: "It doesn't matter, Zhang Lu's personality is just an accumulated table, the position of the division is just a matter of making a living, the beauty and ugliness of the appearance are just the skin in front of the world, and the fat and thin figure is just about a few more years of life." In my life, there is no shortage of people to accompany me, and I don't care how long the true love can exist. It's a miracle that I can fall in love with him. He can love me too, it's enough to call it love. Of course, it has to be unique. ”

Xiang Ye looked at Wen Qingyi who was reclining, and suddenly felt that they were not in the mortal dust now, and she was not lying on the couch in the house, but sleeping alone in the smoke clouds, like an unattainable cliff flower, a gust of wind on the top of the mountain, and a foggy mountain on the horizon of the sea. It is like a worm that sucks the essence of the earth, and the golden sand that cannot be crushed under the stone is lonely and proud.

Xiang Ye was very envious of her, and told her this emotion very bluntly: "Wen Qingyi, you can always make me feel that the world is weird and wonderful. ”

Wen Qingyi replied to her: "Don't mourn yourself. You have often made me truly appreciate the tenderness of the world, and its power is very strong, and it has extinguished the fierce flame in my heart several times. ”

Xiang Ye laughed, kicked the couch, and said to her: "There are no peaches, don't be stingy, wash two more." ”

Wen Qingyi got up and went to the kitchen.

When Liuyue saw this, she told Si Ming to stop and said to her, "I remember her." Is there a way to move forward, I want to see the first half of her life. ”

Si Ming said: "She didn't deliberately save the volume in the past, but if you continue to look at it, you should be able to deduce most of it." ”

Liuyue touched the rabbit fur, nodded, and called her again: "Change your chair into me too." ”

Si Ming rolled his eyes, and his tone was quite yin and yang: "I didn't expect that the Flowing Moon Immortal Monarch on the dominant side would not even be able to change a chair today. ”

In the blink of an eye, Liuyue moved to Si Ming's side, holding the rabbit and sitting on the chair that had just been conjured.

Liuyue's face did not change, and said, "Every time you change chairs, you draw them from the treasure bag. In the past, you learned the chapter of the academic law, the metamorphosis, and you learned the worst. If this immortal didn't know, each of your chairs would be covered with velvet mats in advance, how could you sit on your inferior product. ”

Si Ming clenched his fists tightly, lowered his head and gritted his teeth, and the sound of grinding his teeth lasted for a long time. Later, I went to pick up two jars of wine and came back, lying down and watching while drinking.

When grinding her teeth, she said silently to herself: "Si Ming, don't be angry, don't be angry, you can't beat him now." After another hundred years of practice, find a dark night, cover the good guy with a burlap bag, and teach him how to be a god! ”

Xiang Ye got the file given by Wen Qingzhen and studied it carefully, and found some very interesting points.

After discussing with the people in the yamen, she finally decided to work together to make an old trick to "lure the snake out of the hole" and hook out the "Guanyike".

There are still ten days left for the queen's birthday banquet, and she was unwell before, Xiang Ye failed to ask for guilt in person, but only passed the palace maid to replace her. If you can solve the case before then, it will be a better explanation.

According to the dossier given by Wen Qingyi, Xiang Ye found that "Guanyike" not only loves mountains and rivers, but also has a strong personality, once someone challenges him, as long as the value of the treasure is enough, he will be invited to steal it every time. And if the previously lost "Hucheng Yushan Map" is really stolen by him, he must still be not far from the capital now, with his kung fu, about three days in advance, he will definitely be able to arrive. After thinking about it in this way, the plan was decided.
