Text Chapter 3 Cloud King
Zilan sat at the entrance of the tunnel, at first she listened intently to the movement outside, but as the night deepened, drowsiness slowly set in. She closed her eyes and opened her eyes and repeated it several times, and finally she couldn't bear to struggle, and her little hands went limp, and she fell asleep on her knees.
When she woke up and looked inside the tunnel, the yellow light was still on, and the sisters who were talking about things in the tunnel were ...... It's a lot of energy.
After a while, a faint light reflected onto Zilan's eyes through the floor tiles, and she woke up again.
When I woke up, I found myself sleeping on the lap of my sister Xinhe......
"Sister Xinhe...... I was wrong. Zilan stood up and apologized in front of Xin He solemnly, with a little childish grievance in her tone, and a pair of watery eyes seemed to be able to spew tears in the next second.
Xin He rubbed her head lightly and smiled and muttered a silly child.
"It's dawn, let's go to Chang'an."
A faint smile appeared on the corner of the little girl's mouth: "Are you going to find Brother Ziqing?" ”
Xin He was slightly stunned, scratched the little girl's nose and said, "Brother Ziqing went to a distant place to play, I'm afraid I won't see it." ”
Zilan didn't ask any more, obediently followed behind Taishi Xinhe, and got into a carriage to Chang'an, originally said that Sister Xinhe's students would send a car to pick it up, but Sister Xinhe said that she wanted to enjoy some scenery on the road and slowly passed.
In fact, Zilan is looking forward to going to Chang'an as soon as possible, but she also has to listen to Sister Xinhe's words.
"By the way, Zilan, don't call me sister when there are outsiders in the future, call me sir."
Zilan didn't know in her heart, but nodded in agreement.
……
The groom was annoyed by the two of them, but under his complaint, Xin did not stay any longer on the road.
After a few days, the word Chang'an finally came into the eyes of Xinhe from afar.
Chang'an is still that Chang'an, as always, splendid and prosperous, and crowded.
Xin He stopped the groom, gave the money to the groom, and stood quietly in the eyes.
Zilan didn't know why, she seemed to be able to see a sense of sadness on Sister Xinhe's face, a sense of pity that she hadn't experienced but could feel.
Then they went into a tavern called 'Jinxiu Building', and after ordering wine and food, Xin He habitually walked to the second floor, at this time Xiao Er suddenly stopped and said: "I'm sorry guest officer, the second floor was taken down by King Yun today." ”
Cloud King?
"Which Cloud King?" Xin He asked.
Xiao Er carefully looked at Xin He's clothes from top to bottom, and put the handkerchief on his shoulder: "Which other cloud king can there be?" Xiao Er sighed twice, "The two of you are from other places." ”
Xin He nodded.
"Those from other places should know."
“……”
Her mind swirled, was it really the Cloud King?
Listening to Song Ziqing say about him, Song Zizhen, the king of clouds, has been traveling around outside the palace since he was a child, making friends with some literati and scholars, gambling and drinking and chanting poetry all day long, and staying away from court disputes.
I didn't expect such a person to learn from those gentlemen, and he chartered someone's building at every turn.
Anyway, Xin He didn't care much about it, and sat down everywhere.
Zilan silently looked at the wine that was gradually pouring into the glass in front of her...... He said, "Sister...... Sir, I don't drink. ”
Xin He woke up in shock. She forgot for a while that it was the little girl Zilan sitting opposite, not Song Ziqing, confused.
As soon as the night market started, the number of customers in the tavern gradually increased, and the little two were still there blocking the guests who wanted to go up to the second floor.
There was a voice at the corner of the corridor: "Who made the rumor that King Yun wrapped the second floor?" ”
Xin He also turned his head curiously when he heard this, this person was wearing a round-necked black shirt with good fabric, and a short dagger around his waist, it was estimated that he was someone from King Yun's side.
The little second sighed to express surprise, and then asked, "Can ...... Isn't that much silver the price of a private building? ”
"That silver is reserved money, and King Yun will come often in the future." The little guy added.
Xiao Erli made a gesture that he understood, and those guests who went upstairs were no longer blocked.
Xin He raised her chin slightly by drinking in a posture, and looked through the railing at the entrance of the building from her angle, and could see a straight back.
The person said that Song Zizhen would come often in the future, didn't he plan to leave?
Just when she was drinking and drinking, the little guy who had just been talking at the entrance of the building suddenly came over and stood in front of her, I don't know if it was a natural Wangfu mouth, or a deliberate slight smile, which made people look friendly and awkward.
Xin He looked left and right and asked, "Looking for me?" ”
Xiao Yue saluted respectfully: "That's right, my son-in-law wants to invite Mr. to drink." ”
Why look for her?
Although she had doubts, she respectfully replied: "Okay, but it is disrespectful." ”
Xiao Yue saw that she pulled the girl who was less than ten years old next to her up, and wondered whether to leave the little girl aside, but King Yun didn't say that he only saw the gentleman alone.
He struggled in his heart for a while and decided: "Sir, I'll help you see this little girl for a while." ”
Before Xin He could reply, the man had already hugged the little girl.
But soon, a scream came from the man's heart......
Expected, expected.
A thin lip in that veil couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Xiao Yue hurriedly put down Zilan and said angrily: "You little girl! You're a dog!? Yes? ”
Xiao Yue left a deep tooth mark on his shoulder, and he rubbed it hard beside him in pain, but he couldn't fight this little girl!
Zilan didn't say a word after biting her, and still followed Xin He upstairs after being put down.
Song Zizhen was alone at the table, holding a book in his hand and looking at it, I don't know if it was to grandstand and please a reputation for loving reading or pretending?
He picked up his wine glass with one hand and drank: "Mr. Mask, please take a seat." ”
The man's bony fingers elegantly placed the book in his hand on the table, and his voice was elegant and rich, like a mountain spring sliding through the interlaced stones and vaguely echoing.
Zilan didn't stay stunned like Xin He, she took the initiative to let go of Xin He's hand and ran to Song Zizhen, and her small body jumped on Song Zizhen's knee and hugged Song Zizhen: "Brother Ziqing!" As soon as the little girl had finished screaming, tears began to flow from her eyes.
Is that Song Ziqing?
The face of the fairy dust, the glitz and glamour of the world will only make him more and more arrogant; The deep, bottomless eyes are like the clearest water, and their own reflection is clearly reflected in his eyes.
But she knew that no matter how similar it was, it was not Song Ziqing.
Song Ziqing, dead!
Song Zizhen's face was stunned, this child's actions were too exaggerated, so frightened that he spread his hands and didn't dare to move in place, looking frustrated as a surrender.
Xiao Yue then followed, looking at the little girl who had just bitten herself and lying on King Yun's shoulder again, he immediately made a look of wanting to save the driver, let go angrily, and pulled out a short knife with the intention of intimidating Zilan.
After Xin He sorted out his emotions for a while, he calmly stopped Xiao Yue. She approached Song Zizhen's back and comforted the little girl for a while, and made up several stories for Zilan to listen to, before finally relieving her emotions and allowing Song Zizhen to withdraw.
