Chapter 53: A Song
It wasn't Rowan who spoke, but a man with a wide body and a fat face standing next to him.
Outwardly, this person looks more like a bad guy than Rowan, but a bad guy who doesn't look like a bad guy is often more terrifying.
Zhou Quan glanced at the man and said, "It turns out that you are a dead fat man!" I'm fat like this, and I'm still here to eat, and I'm not afraid of being fat. ”
Many fat people don't like others to say that they are fat, Tian Guangliang is such a fat man, when he heard Zhou Quan's words, the horizontal flesh on his face trembled, and his appearance was very scary, staring at Zhou Quan fiercely, and said angrily: "Zhou Quan, are you looking for a fight?" ”
Zhou Quan ignored him, but introduced to Chen Rui: "This dead fat man is called Tian Guangliang, his father is the state capital, and his family is also quite powerful, many people are officials in the court, so he also relies on it, his father has coveted the position of Xiangzhou Assassin for a long time, so he is against my father everywhere, the relationship between the two families is extremely poor, and we are naturally hostile to each other." ”
Don't drive is the adjutant of the state capital, and in Shangzhou like Xiangzhou, it is from the fourth rank of the official, the history of the assassin is from the third grade, if you follow the normal path, from the fourth grade of the other car want to be promoted from the third grade of the assassin history, you have to go to Xiazhou to serve as the fourth grade of the assassin history, and then you can be promoted to the history of the Shangzhou assassin from the third grade, but if someone in the court helps to operate, it is another matter.
Chen Rui couldn't help but swipe through this information in his mind, but he didn't want to be an official and was not very interested in officialdom, so he immediately left it behind and asked a question he was more concerned about: "Are you poor?" I can't afford to come to Ruyi Pavilion on weekdays......"
"Ahem!" Zhou Quan coughed lightly and said, "My father is an honest official, and he is more strict with me, unlike them who are losers. ”
Chen Rui smiled, filled a glass of wine for both of them, and then picked up the wine glass and said, "Brother Zhou is so righteous, I salute Brother Zhou." ”
"!"
Tian Fatzi, who was ignored over there, was furious, and was about to rush over to have a good reason with Zhou Quan, but was stopped by Luo Wen, in fact, he wanted to do it, but this is Ruyi Pavilion, he didn't dare.
But doesn't Shizi usually dislike Zhou Quan's guy? Why stop him? So he looked at Rowan with a puzzled face and asked, "Why did the prince stop me?" ”
If there was only Zhou Quan, I would naturally not stop you, but there was a poet Chen Rui opposite him who "killed one person in ten steps, and did not stay for a thousand miles", what if I was affected because of you?
That's right, Chen Rui became famous because of this "Chivalrous Journey", and gradually became known as a poet, but now it is only circulated in a small area in Xiangcheng, but it is only a matter of time before it spreads.
And since Chen Rui dared to release such wild words as "kill one person in ten steps, and don't stay for a thousand miles", his ability must not be weak, so although his highly skilled guard was not by his side, Rowan was still full of fear of him.
Of course, Luo Wen would definitely not say these thoughts, but just said lightly: "This is Ruyi Pavilion." ”
But this reason is enough, the prestige of Ruyi Pavilion is resounding throughout the Chu State, who dares to provoke the tiger's beard? So Tian Guangliang didn't ask much.
This made Luo Wen breathe a sigh of relief, if he asked the bottom of the matter, and the thing that he was afraid of Chen Rui because of a poem was accidentally exposed, then his prestige would be damaged, and where would he put his face at that time?
But it's a bit of a loss to stay here, and the songs and dances that used to make people excited have no effect today; But Tian Guangliang had already ordered the food and drinks, and if he left now, others would mistakenly think that he was afraid of them, so he still sat aside.
The noisy people quieted down, and Chen Rui naturally didn't make them bored.
The singing and dancing downstairs had a great attraction to Zhou Quan, and after a few glasses of wine, his eyes were hooked away; Chen Rui is the same, but Zhou Quan looks at people, and he looks at dance, because the beauty of classical dance still amazes him.
At the end of the song, the dancing girl on the stage slowly retreated, and the next one came up was a beautiful woman with a veil, slender and delicate, walking to the guqin that had been placed on the stage and sitting down.
The atmosphere in the hall also became lively with the woman's on-stage appearance, and many people exclaimed: "It's Su Qingyun, how can she be in Xiangcheng?" Is this a dream? Did I really see her? Can you still hear her playing? What kind of luck have I got? I didn't burn incense this morning! ”
"I heard that her music seems to come from the sky, and the aftermath lingers for three days, making people indulge in it and forget their troubles, I don't know if it's true or not?"
"Of course it's true, although I haven't heard of it, but it's so miraculous, can it be fake?"
"Such a beautiful thing was met by us, it is really God's favor, if I can watch her play music for me every day, even if I live ten years less, I am willing!"
"Brother Tai, Su Qingyun is the Oiran of Ruyi Pavilion, not only is she extremely beautiful, but she also plays a good tune, how many young handsome men have fallen under her pomegranate skirt? How could it be your turn? And even if she gives you a chance, will your wealth be enough to redeem her? Still watching her play music for you every day? This kind of thing that can't happen in a dream, you still don't think about it. ”
The man didn't get angry about this, but nodded and said, "Yes! Even the second prince wanted to accept her as a side concubine, but she refused, and the world didn't know who could get into her eyes. ”
"But I think it's easier for her than the county lord......"
Tian Guangliang stood up excitedly, shook his fat, and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, I didn't expect my Lao Tian to have this blessing, to see this legendary Su Qingyun, and to hear the tunes she plays, Shizi, we are really lucky today!" ”
Luo Wen, who was pouring wine, had already stared straight at the people on the stage, the wine had already overflowed and flowed all over the place without realizing it, and the two people sitting next to him were also excited, as if they had seen two white girls.
And Zhou Quan was as excited as if he had taken an aphrodisiac, pointing at the woman on the stage like a madman and saying, "Brother Chen, it's Shen Qingyun, it's Shen Qingyun!" It's really her, I've been to the Ruyi Pavilion so many times and haven't seen her, but I didn't expect to see this Ruyi Pavilion Oiran who only heard her name and didn't see her today, and I could hear her playing the Divine Comedy, I was so lucky and happy. ”
Seeing the eagerness in everyone's eyes, the crazy Zhou Quan, Chen Rui was speechless, isn't he just a beauty? As for being so excited? And she is also a beauty who can't see the whole picture clearly under a veil.
But then again, although her face was covered, her hazy beauty made her look more like tearing off her veil, so Chen Rui decided that she still couldn't let Qin Qingyao wear a veil in the future!
No matter what the reaction of the people in the audience was, Shen Qingyun's expression on the stage did not change in the slightest, and he gently stroked the strings with his bare hands, and the piano sounded.
Chen Rui doesn't know how to understand music and rhythm, although Duan Ke has never given up on his teaching of the six arts, but Chen Rui's talent for this Tao is average, and he is not very interested in anything, so he can play a complete song without going out of tune, and he can hear whether others are out of tune or not, but he can't understand anything more profound like feelings.
But even though he didn't understand, Su Qingyun's piano sound still made his ears shine, just like her person, he couldn't see it really, but he wanted to get a glimpse of it, and when he heard the prelude, he wanted to listen to the whole song.
Listening to her music, Chen Rui suddenly felt a little tired, and his consciousness was extremely clear, and many sounds and pictures appeared in his mind.
There are scenes of getting along with Qin Qingyao, ten years ago desperately blocking the knife for her, the reluctance to separate, and the funny when he was scared away when he first met ten years later, her fireworks that don't eat the world, her smile.
Suddenly, Chen Jin rushed in, forcing him to call his sister like a demon king.
and his mother came to his room in the middle of the night to help him cover the quilt that had been kicked over; When he had no appetite, he asked him with a worried face if the food was not in line with the taste? When he was sick, he took care of him personally......
There is also a joke holding a ring ruler in his hand and chasing him behind with a fierce face, and the divine doctor Gongshan Xun shook his head helplessly when he looked at the prescription he prescribed, and Liang Tiangong punished him for taking a step......
Thinking of this, his heart was unusually peaceful, and he couldn't help but have a smile on his face.
It wasn't until Lan'er's pale and bloodless face appeared in front of his eyes that she said to him with a weak smile: "Childe, no...... Don't bother with me, I didn't protect ...... Protecting the young lady is already a sinner, and now it can be regarded as protecting the son, and there are no regrets. ”
An inexplicable pathos poured out of my heart uncontrollably......
But there were other images in his mind that he didn't dare to think of.
worked hard in his previous life, and only hoped that he would have a good life and love him no less than Su Caixuan's parents......
In the face of his accidental death, how desperate are they, what kind of heartbreak should it be for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person to a black-haired person, and his liver and intestines are broken?
But he went back, dead is dead, time cannot come back, he can never return to their knees to fulfill filial piety, give them old age and send them to death, fortunately he still has a brother, otherwise he may live in sin in this life.
I don't know when the sound of the piano has stopped, and everyone in the hall has different expressions, some are ecstatic, some are sad, some are sad, some are crazy, and some are gritting their teeth, and their eyes are breathing fire......
But the only one who burst into tears was Chen Rui.
Su Qingyun looked at Chen Rui with tears in his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
She has seen many people, and under the sound of her piano, what hides humanity in the deepest depths is revealed.
Desire, ambition, regret......
And women, or hatred.
Even if it is well hidden on weekdays, it will be exposed under the charm of her piano sound.
She had never seen someone hiding such a deep sorrow.
I can't help but feel a little curious, what has he experienced, what kind of experience will make a person's heart hide endless sadness?
She wanted to walk over to him, to see better, but she couldn't do that, she just came up and played a tune.
