Chapter 424: Brother and Sister (1)
If I have any nostalgia for Chang'an, the first is my mother and Ruoxiu, and the second is my father, if my father is gone, in fact, Chang'an is not important to me, and I don't have to come back, but now I have to think about much more things than when I was alone, so after setting off with Zimin, I returned to Chang'an non-stop.
In fact, I still have a trace of apprehension in my heart, every time I think of Li Xuanba in Luoyang, my trust and expectations for him are crushed by him, and I can't help but sometimes begin to doubt Sanniang, if Sanniang is also the same as Li Xuanba, I am afraid that there will be no return, after all, Sanniang is much more thoughtful than Li Xuanba.
There was no change in Chang'an City, and the news of my father's death had obviously not been leaked, but the garrisons outside the city did not slack off at all, or to guard against someone who would lead troops to take Chang'an when they learned the news.
Zimin and I led the horses into the city, and the sergeant guarding the gate did not embarrass us.
Zi Min waited to enter the city and said: "These people should be strict against people entering and leaving, why are they so lax? ”
I raised my eyes to look at the palace in the distance, and said with a wry smile: "Although you are quick-minded, you don't pay attention to these things, but Sanniang can see this, if you strictly check the passers-by, then people with ulterior motives will have to speculate about what happened in Chang'an, Sanniang's move is to not make others suspicious." ”
Zi Min said "oh" and said, "How about we go to Du Kangju first?" ”
That's exactly what I mean, firstly, because Cui Shaoqing mentioned in his heart that Xun Yi was seriously ill, and on the other hand, the situation in Chang'an is mostly unclear, so I can also ask Cui Shaoqing about it by the way.
Du Kangju is the same as before, although a lot of things have happened, after Cui Shaoqing revived his old business, Du Kangju's business is still as good, and people come and go upstairs in the hall.
Seeing someone coming in, a guy flew over and said with a smile: "Two guest officers, please." ”
My heart darkened, thinking of Ah Shou, who died innocently in vain, I was stunned for a while before I nodded and helped Zimin into the store.
The guy pointed to a table in the middle of the hall and said, "Please be seated." ”
I shook my head, pointed upstairs, and said, "Is the upstairs seat still available?" ”
The guy said "hehe" and smiled: "There is no space, but I don't hide it from the two of you, if you two go upstairs, it will be a big loss, today, it is better to sit in the hall." ”
When Zi Min heard this, he chuckled, "Oh? What's at save? ”
The guy smiled: "You two just arrived in Chang'an?" Isn't it wonderful that our pianists in Du Kangju have only two days of time here to play the piano in January, and today we are free, sitting in the hall, drinking and tasting the piano. ”
When I heard this, I was curious, so I asked, "I wonder who the luthier you have invited?" ”
The guy shook his head and said, "Well, it's inconvenient to talk about the small ones." Do you two still want to go upstairs? ”
Zi Min smiled: "In that case, how about we sit here?" ”
I nodded, and while sitting down with Zimin, I asked again, "What about your boss?" ”
The guy said, "Our boss is not in the store today, and he has something to do." ”
I said, "That's not a coincidence. So saying, he asked him to bring wine.
After a while, the sound of the piano sounded in the piano room on the second floor, and I was curious about who Cui Shaoqing would hire to be the violinist in addition to Zhang Wensu and me, but I thought that Zimin should also be curious, so I sat down in the noisy hall.
However, not long after the piano was played, Zimin listened carefully, suddenly lost his laughter, and whispered in my ear: "Why did the dignified Princess Pingyang come here to be a violinist again?" ”
The reason why I can hear it at once is because the sound of the piano upstairs is an old song composed by Zhang Wensu, and Sanniang used to touch it in the drunken Hongjian Teahouse.
I was going to see Sanniang in Daxing Palace and ask my father about the situation again, but who knew that I met here at a sudden time, and I only raised the wine glass in front of me to my lips and drank a glass, and then called the guy over.
The guy ran up to me and said, "What do you command?" ”
I thought about it, leaned into Zimin's ear and said a word, took the things she handed me and handed it to the guy and said, "I really like this piano sound, I want to talk to the pianist of your store, I don't know if it's okay?" ”
The guy scratched his head a little embarrassed and said, "I'm really sorry, our violinist here has never seen a guest. ”
I smiled and said, "It's okay, you pass this on to her, and she might be willing to see us." As he spoke, he handed over the Qingyu Pavilion order that Zi Min had just given me to the buddy.
The fellow took it, looked at it for a moment, and then went upstairs.
After a while, he ran downstairs and looked at us in surprise, pointed upstairs and said, "Two guest officers, please upstairs." ”
Zimin and I got up and followed the guy, who led us to the piano room.
At first sight, it was really Sanniang.
I saw that she was dressed in men's clothes, and looked at the door while stroking the piano, and when she saw us coming in, she hurriedly dialed it a few times, and then stood up and said to the fellow, "You go out first." ”
The guy left in response, and Sanniang ran to me and said, "Big brother, my father ...... the emperor" Before he finished speaking, he couldn't cry.
When I saw her like this, my heart was also sad, and I was about to comfort her, but she seemed to suddenly think of something, pushed me away, and looked at me with doubts in her eyes.
After looking at each other for a moment, she asked, "What do you want to do when the eldest brother returns to Chang'an?" ”
I was stunned for a moment, and I didn't know why, so I had to ask rhetorically: "Sanniang, you sent a messenger to send a letter to the eldest brother thousands of miles away, don't you hope that the eldest brother will come back soon?" ”
Sanniang was also stunned when she heard this, she seemed to have a lot to say, but she still just looked at me in a daze, unable to say a word, this is not like her usual style, with her character, there has always been one to say one, there are two to say two, there has never been anything that can make her hesitate to this.
When I saw her appearance, I had already guessed a few points in my heart, and I was about to speak, but I heard a sound of footsteps, and someone went upstairs.
The man pushed open the door of the piano room, and I turned to look, but it was Cui Shaoqing who came back from outside.
Cui Shaoqing looked at the people in the piano room, knew that the atmosphere was different, and saw Sanniang's expression, he only smiled lightly, and said to Zimin: "Zimin, their brother and sister have something to say." I just went to buy some medicine and came back, how about you accompany me to see Mr. Xun? ”
Zi Min said "yes", and walked out with Cui Shaoqing, Cui Shaoqing looked at Zi Min seriously, stretched out his hand to help her, and the two walked out of the door of the piano room hand in hand.
Only me and Sanniang were left in the piano room, Sanniang had stopped her tears, moved to the window, but still did not speak.
I walked up to her and asked, "Sanniang, what's going on?" As he spoke, he went to hold her shoulder.
As soon as my hand stretched out, Sanniang turned around and dodged, and as soon as my neck was cold, a sword was placed on my shoulder.
