Chapter XXVIII

The sound of the piano tinkles, like the spring snow melts and flows into a stream flowing out of the valley, the valley is full of flowers, the sun is full of sky, and the birds are singing together, which makes people feel happy to hear, Wang Yuan stands quietly, closes his eyes and listens, and unconsciously shows a smile at the corner of his mouth.

However, all of a sudden, the sound of the piano changed from soothing and cool to rapid and harsh, and the sunny day was suddenly obscured by dark clouds, and then the storm and rain flew away, the trees shook and the grass flew, and the sun and moon were dark. The sound of Zheng Zhengqin carries the sound of killing, as if thousands of troops are fighting with swords.

Just when Wang Yuan's brows were furrowed, his face changed color, and his heart was pounding, there was a buzzing sound, the piano sound stopped suddenly, and in an instant, it was like a cloud opening the sunrise, the wind stopped and the trees were quiet, and all the hallucinations that made people's hearts beat wildly disappeared in an instant, Wang Yuan sighed and opened his eyes, but saw that the sun was setting in the sky, the breeze was blowing, and the bamboo forest made a rustling sound; After a long time, Gongsun Lan, who was dressed in white, stood up and slowly turned around.

Wang Yuan arched his hand and said: "Wang Yuan pays a visit to the grandson's seniors. ”

Gongsun Lan's expression was indifferent, and she didn't have the slightest surprise at Wang Yuan's appearance, and said lightly: "Last time, you peeked at me practicing swords, and this time you peeked at me playing the qin, and your courage is getting bigger and bigger." ”

Wang Yuan arched his hand again and said: "I'm very sorry, but I made an unintentional mistake, not an intentional offense." Gongsun's predecessor turned out to be not only the first sword dance master in the Tang Dynasty, but also so proficient in music and rhythm, such a skill, it is really rare in the world. I can listen to the fairy sound with my own ears, and I really die without regrets. ”

Gongsun Lanqiao's face changed color and said, "How do you know that I am a master of sword dance?" Twelve mothers told you? ”

Wang Yuan nodded and said: "Gongsun Auntie's sword dance is the best in the world, I was a little suspicious after seeing it with my own eyes that day, and when I asked about it when I went back, Twelve Niang didn't want to hide it, so she told me the origin and past of your master and apprentice." ”

Gongsun Lan said angrily: "Twelve Niang left all my words behind, and swore not to reveal my identity, but she still spread it widely, it's damned." ”

Wang Yuan hurriedly said: "Gongsun seniors are angry, she is not making a big fuss, this matter is also half guessed and half asked, and she really can't hide it before telling me." I hereby swear that I will never reveal the identity and whereabouts of my predecessors. ”

Gongsun Lan snorted and said, "What if it's leaked?" Anyway, I was about to abandon the plum garden and leave Chang'an, so I left early. ”

Wang Yuan was speechless, Gongsun Lan stood for a long time, seemed to be angry for a while, leaned over to clean up the incense plate and guqin on the table, Wang Yuan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I'll help you get it." ”

"You don't have to do it." Gongsun Landau.

Wang Yuan couldn't help but pick up the guqin, and the palm of his hand inadvertently touched Gongsun Lan's soft fingers, Gongsun Lan's fingers retracted and his face was slightly angry, and when he was about to have a seizure, he saw Wang Yuan holding the guqin as if nothing was going on, and walked towards the house first, stunned and followed over.

The two entered the house, Wang Yuan turned around and helped Gongsun Lan move the long table and the small stool back, and when they entered the house, Gongsun Lan had already built a fire in front of a small wood stove, and put a jar of water on it and burned it.

"Sit down, we'll have hot water to drink later." Gongsun Lan's slender fingers skillfully picked up the tea bowl on the table, carefully wiped it with a clean silk scarf, and took out two small tea cakes from the bamboo tube on the table and put them in the bowl.

Wang Yuan walked over, sat down cross-legged on the futon opposite Gongsun Lan, raised his eyes and glanced at Gongsun Lan, and happened to meet Gongsun Lan's two cold gazes, he was suddenly startled, and pretended to look away as if nothing happened.

"Wang Gongzi came uninvited again, what is it for this time? Was it entrusted by the Twelve Niang to move the rescuers? What's the danger of Twelve Niang? Gongsun Lan's voice sounded very pleasant, although the tone was cold, Wang Yuan listened to it very useful.

"No, I came to see Aunt Gongsun this time because I wanted to store these things with you." Wang Yuan took off the package from his shoulder and put it next to him and said: "This package is Twelve Niang's things, and it is useless to put it in my place, I think it is better to send it to you." If the twelve mothers come, please leave it to her. ”

Gongsun Lan said lightly: "Twelve Niang's things? Isn't she with you? ”

Wang Yuan sighed and said, "Twelve Niang said goodbye at noon today, but she didn't have time to take away her clothes. ”

The corners of Gongsun Lan's mouth turned up slightly, and she said: "I see, you were also abandoned by Twelve Niang, it seems that you and I are suffering from the same disease, and we have been deceived by Twelve Niang." Three years ago she lied to you, three years later she lied to you. ”

Wang Yuan smiled bitterly: "It's not like she lied to me, she is not the same person as me." ”

"Are you still saying good things for her when you are deceived? Didn't she lie to you to deliver a letter for her? Gongsun Lan said softly.

Wang Yuan was stunned for a moment, Gongsun Lan seemed to know very well that she would be fooled, and immediately thought that Gongsun Lan had warned herself not to believe Li Xin'er when she was leaving, and this matter was obviously expected by her.

"It's a pity that you came to the wrong place, Twelve Niang won't come to me, and she will never come without my permission. It's useless to put her things here with me, you still stay at home, you are her savior, Twelve Niang should still go to see you, and give it to her then. Gongsun Lan said lightly.

Wang Yuan shook his head and said: "It's a pity that I'm going to move out of Yong'an Fang, she may not find me when she goes back, so let's leave it here with you, whether she comes or not, it's appropriate to leave it to you for safekeeping." ”

Gongsun Lan said: "You want to leave Yong'an Fang?" Leaving Chang'an? ”

Wang Yuan said: "No, I was invited to go on an errand elsewhere. ”

Gongsun Lan smiled and said, "Is it Li Shizhi's mansion?" ”

Wang Yuan was shocked: "You...... How do you know? ”

Gongsun Lan smiled slightly, stretched out her white and slender fingers and grabbed a neatly folded piece of linen cloth on the table, wrapped it in the ears of the steaming clay pot on the stove, carefully picked it up, slowly poured boiling water into the two tea bowls, and said in a low voice: "The tea I have here does not boil with onions, ginger and garlic, you are used to drinking it, and you are not used to drinking it, so drink white water." ”

Wang Yuan understood what she meant, the Tang people drank tea with onions, ginger, cinnamon, mint and other things in the tea leaves, Wang Yuan drank it once, and almost vomited. I didn't expect Gongsun Lan to drink tea normally. However, Wang Yuan didn't have the heart to care about the issue of tea, he didn't know how Gongsun Lan knew that he was going to be a guest under Li Shizhi, could it be that Gongsun Lan was born with a good ear?

Gongsun Lan stretched out her white and slender fingers to pick up the tea bowl, her red lips gently blew away a few floating tea leaves, and gently took a sip of tea.

"How did the grandson know so clearly?" Wang Yuanwu asked spontaneously.

"It has long been rumored in Yong'an Fang that you are favored by Li Shizhi, the current Prime Minister of the Left, and you want to go to his mansion as a guest, and I know that this matter is not unusual." Gongsun Lan said lightly.

Wang Yuan widened his eyes and said, "So you have been in Yong'an Fang for the past few days?" ”

Gongsun Lan nodded slightly and said: "After all, Twelve Niang is my only disciple, although I am determined not to recognize her as an apprentice anymore, but I can't watch her being captured by Jin Wuwei, so after I left your house that day, I stayed in Yong'an Fang for a few days." I only returned to the Plum Garden at noon today, and I will naturally know about you. ”

Wang Yuan was stunned and said, "Then you also know about me and Twelve Niang's fake marriage?" ”

Gongsun Lan said lightly: "I know, I also know that on the night you got married, someone sneaked into your new house and made trouble in your cave room, yes or no?" ”

Wang Yuan was shocked: "You...... Were you there? ”

"Of course I'm here, although Twelve Niang is not good, but after all, I am my only apprentice, I didn't know that you were fake marriage, but whether it's true or not, she wants to get married, how can I not go? I was going to leave just to take a look, but as I was leaving, I saw a group of sneaky people outside the gate, and I guessed that they were bad for you, so I turned back with them. ”

“…… So why don't you help us? I almost died by the sword of those men. Wang Yuan shouted.

"Why should I do it?" Gongsun Lan glanced at Wang Yuan with a sneer in her eyes and said, "They just want to kill you, not to deal with Twelve Niang?" ”

Wang Yuan was speechless, he and her were not related, Gongsun Lan only cared about his apprentice Twelve Niang, and his life had nothing to do with her.

"Besides, aren't you here for a long time? I didn't lose my life. Besides, this is your own fault, why don't you listen to my advice and help Twelve Niang deliver the letter? As soon as this letter was sent, you took the initiative to get involved in the dispute between the prince Li Heng and Li Linfu, you knew that sending the letter for Twelve Niang would cause trouble, but you still went, aren't you to blame for all this. Gongsun Lan sneered and lowered her head to drink tea.

Wang Yuan felt a little angry, some wanted to be angry, but he felt that there was no reason to be angry and angry, what Gongsun Lan said was not wrong.

"Drink tea, drink tea and you can go." Gongsun Lan's white palm made a gesture of invitation, pursed her lips and smiled, and said lightly.

Wang Yuan stretched out his hand to take the tea, and drank it violently with the anger in his heart, only to feel that his mouth was hot, and he jumped up with a whining sound and spit all the tea on the ground in one gulp, covering his mouth and panting. The freshly brewed tea was hot, and Wang Yuan was also so confused that he almost scalded his mouth.

Gongsun Lan couldn't help but laugh out loud, her smile was as gorgeous as a spring flower blooming in the ice and snow, Wang Yuan's heart was stirring, he forgot the burning pain in his mouth, and looked at Gongsun Lan in a daze.

Gongsun Lan got up and scooped a scoop of cold water and handed it over: "Use cold water to contain one, otherwise it will swell into a pig's head when you go home, don't blame me." ”

Wang Yuan took it and took a few mouthfuls, and said angrily: "What does that have to do with you?" You can see death without help, do you care if I am burned into a pig's head? ”

When he said that, he suddenly felt a little excessive, why would he say such a thing in front of Gongsun Lan, it seemed like he was angry with Gongsun Lan, but in fact, he had nothing to do with Gongsun Lan.

Gongsun Lan frowned and said: "Of course, your life and death have nothing to do with me, do you think that saving the Twelve Niangs is convenient for me to be gracious?" Twelve Niang's life and death are her life, and I will naturally avenge her when she dies, but all this has nothing to do with you. ”
