Chapter 17 Warm as Jade
When I woke up, it was already the evening of the second day. In a strange place, the room is simply furnished, but the items in the room are exquisite and elegant, even the humble blue and white porcelain vase in the corner of the table is worth a lot.
It was quiet, and she vaguely remembered that in her confusion, someone had fed her medicine, and then she slept until this time. I touched my forehead with my hand, the heat had subsided, and my body was not so uncomfortable, it seemed that it was the effect of the bowl of medicine. The man in the carriage must have hired a doctor for her! However, why hasn't her internal strength recovered yet?
Getting up and getting off the ground, she slowly walked out of the room. The courtyard outside was very large, but there was not a single figure in sight. She was slightly puzzled, and suddenly there was a sound of the piano, which was light and pleasant, and she followed the sound of the piano.
At the end of the stone road, there is a clear and verdant bamboo forest, there is a clearing in the middle of the forest, three stone steps go up, the clean ground is as smooth as jade, a man sits cross-legged very casually, with his back to her direction, and the sound of the piano flows from his fingertips. The afterglow of the setting sun poured over the entire bamboo forest, the soft orange and yellow light, accompanied by the faint bamboo fragrance brought by the breeze, and the distant and clear but implied vicissitudes of the piano sound, which made people intoxicated, and unconsciously felt a little trance.
"You're awake!" The man finished the song, his hands on the strings, looking back at her, his eyes were gentle, as if he was greeting an acquaintance, friendly and casual.
The eyebrows are like swords, the eyes are like stars, the lips are thin, and the facial features are well-defined. It's really handsome, it's unforgettable. However, this should have been a cold look, and a smile gave people a sense of elegance and warmth. There was a moment of stunnedness, is this the man who rescued her last night? "Last night, was the medicine that Childe fed me?"
The man smiled and nodded slightly. Man Yao said very sincerely: "Thank you! For as long as she can remember, her father has asked her to be independent, and whenever she is sick, the driver drives her to the hospital, and she is the only one to face the rest. No one has ever ...... Will hand her a glass of water when she takes the medicine, never! After coming into this world for three years, it was an illness except for a mild headache that fell once a month because of the childhood spark.
She looked at the man's handsome face, and she suddenly felt a little familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere, but she couldn't tell.
The man smiled and said, "It's just a matter of raising your hands." Is the girl's body better? ”
Man Yao stepped forward, sat down in the same position opposite the man, and said with a light smile: "It's no big deal, Lao Gongzi bothered." Please forgive me for the interruption! ”
The man smiled elegantly and said, "I saw that the girl was unconscious and brought the girl here without authorization, girl, don't blame you for making assertions in the next place." ”
Man Yao chuckled and shook his head, and said, "Where is the childe, you have good intentions, how can I be so ignorant!" ”
The man looked at the woman dressed as a man, her beautiful eyes were clear, her wisdom was hidden, and her elegant and refined temperament had an indescribable moving charm, which could be described as the ultimate in beauty. His eyes were clear, and he said slowly: "Even so, you and I don't need to say these scenes, but it looks rusty and vulgar. Man Yao smiled and nodded, and he said again: "I don't know what to call the girl?" ”
She was slightly stunned, she had a lot of names, but none of them seemed to be suitable for saying. When the man saw her pause, he smiled meaninglessly: "If there is any inconvenience, there is no need to force it." I don't know the girl, but can you play the piano? ”
This person is very observant and empathetic, and she only hesitates for a moment before changing the subject, easily avoiding embarrassing scenes. Man Yao said with a smile: "I know a little bit about it, and I don't dare to get an axe in front of my son." ”
She was proficient in the piano because the former owner of this body was proficient in the piano, and she inevitably showed her flaws, and she had secretly practiced the piano, but she knew that she was familiar with playing it easily, as if she could have done it herself. The reason why she bothered to invite Shen Yu to the tea garden to play the qin was because she wanted to borrow her name, and she herself did not want to play the qin for the entertainment of the guests. Thinking back to the sound of the piano she had just heard, she thought for a moment and said, "However, I think the song that Gongzi played just now sounds distant and light, but in fact, it is ...... Qingyue floats on the surface, and the vicissitudes of life are engraved in the bones! ”
The man was shocked, his starry eyes were burning, he stared at her, and said with appreciation: "I can hear the vicissitudes implied behind the melodiousness of this song, which shows that the girl's piano skills are good." The song is called 'Former Dust' and was created seven years ago. ”
He looked to be about twenty years old, and he was only thirteen or fourteen years old seven years ago, and it was not easy for him to create such beautiful and profound music. Manyao couldn't help but sigh: "Childe Yuqin's attainments are really admirable!" It's just that...... With the age of Childe seven years ago, how could he have such a profound sense of vicissitudes? ”
The gentle smile on the corner of the man's mouth stiffened slightly, and he suddenly felt speechless, and immediately smiled: "I just ask casually, and the son doesn't have to answer." She looked up at the darkened sky, stood up, and arched her hand: "I am grateful to my son for saving me this time!" If he has the opportunity one day, he will be rewarded. It's getting late today, and it's time for me to take my leave. ”
The man also stood up, his face still gentle, and said, "The girl is in a coma and has not eaten for a day. I have ordered someone to prepare food for the girl, why don't you run out and leave? ”
Manyao excused himself and said: "I understand the kindness of the child, but I still have important things to do, so don't leave it today." There will be a period later! ”
The man chuckled and shook his head, saying, "Even so, it is inconvenient to stay below." This is the eastern suburbs inn, and there is still some distance away from the bustling city, so I will order someone to prepare a carriage for you. ”
She thought this was a man's mansion, but she didn't expect it to be an inn! It shouldn't be just an ordinary inn, otherwise how could there be such a spacious and elegant garden and such exquisite rooms? Man Yao smiled goodbye and didn't ask for the man's name, believing that he would take the initiative to tell him if it was convenient. The man looked at the direction in which the carriage disappeared and smiled softly: "Sure enough, it's a transparent woman, we ...... We'll see you again soon! ”
When I arrived in Dongcheng City, I got off the bus, and after thinking about it, I was going to go to the tea garden first. She didn't return overnight, and when Ling'er and Xiao Xu saw the corpse in the tea garden today, they would definitely worry about her and look for her. She hired an ordinary carriage and came to the Yueyue Tea Garden, and as soon as she got off the car, dozens of official guards suddenly appeared on the shore of Tianshui Lake, which was originally quiet, and surrounded her. The commander of the guards took a few steps forward, looked at her back and forth with a surprised gaze, and finally nodded, "He is so beautiful, it should be him, the owner of the Moon Tea Garden, Liyue Childe!" Grab it! ”
Man Yao was shocked in his heart, his expression was still calm, and he asked, "This lord, what did you do next?" ”
The commander of the guards said with a cold face: "Last night, King Liwang was assassinated in the Zhuyue Tea Garden, Your Majesty Long Yan was furious, and ordered the Criminal Department to investigate this matter thoroughly, and all those involved were arrested and tortured. Take! ”
