Hualin Garden is also a depression, except for the green bamboo forest. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The green bamboo outside the Yongfu Palace is still verdant, and even makes the King of Longjun in it think that he has crossed the autumn and winter and re-entered the spring.
The melodious sound of the piano reached Qin Lei's ears through the bamboo forest, adding a bit of clarity to the tactful tune. It was the poetry that was playing the piano, and Qin Lei could hear the melancholy and expectation in the sound of the piano. Quicken your pace slightly, turn the last clump of green bamboo, and the warm Yongfu Palace will flash out.
Through the erected window, you can see a girl in a goose yellow dress caressing the qin, her shadow is so beautiful, and her temperament is so quiet. As if with her presence, everything in Qin Lei's eyes became poetic, and even the little house finches foraging on the window lattice were extraordinary...... Lovely......
Qin Lei stood quietly by the bamboo forest, quietly watching the girl caressing the qin. As if she was really telepathic, the girl looked up slightly towards the path between the bamboo forests, and saw a figure standing straight.
Just touching Qin Lei's gaze, the girl lowered her head shyly, and the sound of the piano became cheerful and excited, instead of the girl telling Qin Lei about her feelings when she met.
In the inner compartment, Yongfu was originally lazily leaning on the recliner, listening to the piano and reading comfortably, and was almost asleep several times by the lingering sound of the piano. But when she heard the sound of the piano in poetry, it was a rare joy and brightness, and the smart girl was aware of it, straightened her slender jade neck, looked out the window, and sure enough, she saw the stinky big brother who worried her, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise: "Big brother is here!" ā
As soon as Shiyun heard her scream, she stopped stroking the qin, hurriedly came over to hold her, and said softly: "Princess, lie down first." ā
Yongfu was about to talk to Shiyun with a smile, but saw the stinky big brother come in from the door. Yongfu frowned slightly, his mouth shriveled and he leaned back on the recliner again, turning inward, leaving Qin Lei with a beautiful back.
The expression of joy on Qin Lei's face froze suddenly, and his wide-open mouth closed awkwardly. He knew that he was at a loss, but he didn't dare to be angry with Xiao Yongfu, and exchanged glances with Shiyun, but received a response from her who couldn't help her.
Qin Lei had no choice but to cautiously come to Yongfu's recliner, pinched his nose and whispered: "Her Royal Highness the Princess, His Royal Highness the King of Longjun asks to see ......" The soft voice was like Huang Zhao's voice.
Yongfu was afraid that he would laugh out loud, so he covered his mouth tightly and resolutely did not turn around. I heard Qin Lei say in a rough voice: "Why doesn't the princess see the lonely king?" Could it be that you are still angry when you see your eldest brother? ā
He whispered again: "The prince doesn't know, you haven't come back to see the little princess for so long, and her old man has lost her temper." ā
The rough voice sounded again: "Hey, you don't know, Lone was only able to go down to the ground yesterday, and he rushed over today, but he didn't have time to go to Jinyu Palace yet." ā
I only heard a soft voice and said: "Then the slave and maid will tell you again, maybe the little princess will be merciful when she sees that you are so sincere, and she will turn her face." Saying that, Chao Yongfu said softly: "Princess, you can do it, meet the king of Longjun, the slave and maid look at him very pitiful." ā
Yongfu had already been amused by Qin Lei, but he still forcibly turned around, wanting to see what the stinky big brother could play.
Qin Lei saw that Yongfu didn't turn around yet, and he wasn't in a hurry, he still said in a rough voice: "Hey, it seems that the little princess can't forgive the bad big brother, let's go, I'll go to see the concubine first and then come back, say goodbye!" ā
Yongfu heard the sound of footsteps and went out in earnest. She was so anxious that she hurriedly turned around, but saw that the stinky big brother was still standing by the bed, looking at her with a wicked smile.
Yongfu was a little stupid, and when he looked at the door, it was the stinky guard of the stinky big brother walking out. The little princess didn't know that she was being tricked by the stinky big brother, her mouth was deflated, and she wanted to cry: "You know how to bully people."
Qin Lei hurriedly excused himself and said: "Good sister, forgive my brother this time, isn't this anxious to see you, although the means are bad, but the starting point is always good." ā
Yongfu wasn't really angry, but he hadn't seen Qin Lei panic for a long time, and when he saw it, he wanted to cry excitedly and happily. But being teased by Qin Lei made the excitement of reunion after a long absence disappear, leaving only a belly full of fun.
For a while, there were tears on his smiling face, like a cat, and he looked very cute.
Qin Lei gestured to Shiyun who was watching with a smile on the side, although Shiyun had never seen this gesture, he clearly knew what Qin Lei wanted, and handed out a brocade from the cloud sleeve and sent it to Qin Lei.
Qin Lei took advantage of the moment when he took over the handkerchief, and his two fingers quickly swiped on Shiyun's palm, Shiyun suddenly felt half of his body tingle, and between Xia Fei's cheeks, the deer that was not angry collided with each other. Secretly glanced at Yongfu and saw that she was lowering her head, but she didn't notice Qin Lei's small movements, Shiyun barely managed to stabilize her mind and glared at Qin Lei with disgust.
Qin Lei winked at her proudly, and then took a Jinpa to wipe the tears on Yongfu's face. Yongfu pouted, obediently let Qin Lei do it, and after the tears on his little face were gone, he smiled and said: "It turns out that Sister Shiyun has already started to send her eldest brother Luopa, but I don't know when my little sister will change her name to sister-in-law." ā
She only said that Qin Lei took out the brocade handkerchief from herself, but she made Shiyun embarrassed, and quickly reached out to grab the brocade handkerchief, but she didn't expect Qin Lei to be faster, and as soon as she stuffed the handkerchief into her arms, Shiyun was empty. Shiyun's little face was already like a boiled shrimp, and she whispered: "Take it ......"
Qin Lei said seriously: "The handkerchief is already dirty, wait for the students to go back and wash it before returning it to the teacher." Yongfu giggled, but Shi Yun was so ashamed that he ran away, no longer paying attention to Jinpa.
Yongfu looked at Qin Lei apologetically, and said meaninglessly: "Brother, I didn't mean to. ā
Qin Lei said in his heart, you mean it. On his face, he said with a sunny face: "Sister, brother didn't mean it, let's settle it." ā
Yongfu learned from Qin Lei to touch his smooth little chin, and said softly: "Then it depends on whether the gift is rich or not, chic or not?" ā
Qin Lei said in his heart, fortunately, he came prepared, and said with a smile: "Absolutely rich, absolutely chic." As he spoke, he beckoned Shi Dare at the door to bring in the big box outside the door.
Shi Dang was about to enter the door with a few guards carrying the box, when he heard Yongfu Jiao say: "The one who left just now, you are not allowed to come in." ā
Shi Dang blinked innocently, pointed to his nose and said, "Me? ā
"Hmph...... "It seems that the little princess still holds a grudge."
Shi Dang knew that in this house, Princess Yongfu was the boss, and even the prince had to bow his head, so he had to hand over the box in his hand to the guard behind him, and he obediently withdrew, standing pitifully at the door. It's not a pity that I can't go in, but it's a pity that I can't go in to see the little girl with brocade.
Qin Lei sympathized in his heart, but he didn't dare to open his mouth to plead, so he could only pretend not to see it, and said with a flattering face: "Sister, guess what gift Brother brought you?" ā
Yongfu stretched out his index finger like an onion tube, rested it on his white porcelain-like chin, thought about it seriously, and asked tentatively for a long time: "Such a long box, could it be a guqin?" ā
Qin Lei's face suddenly collapsed, and he said depressedly: "How can you guess it as soon as you guess, it's not fun." Yongfu's mood suddenly improved, and he said proudly: "No way, who made your sister Bingxue smart." "The so-called black who is close to ink, a good empty valley white orchid, under the influence of Qin Lei, has also begun to transform into Mo Lan.
Qin Lei opened the box with his own hands, and Yongfu saw that there was indeed a guqin horizontally on the brocade, with an ancient and natural style, and there were still scorch marks on the tail. "Jiaoweiqin?!" Yongfu was completely stunned, she thought that Qin Lei would give her a famous qin, as long as it could be of the grade of Spring Lei Qin and Plum Blossom Luoqin, she was very satisfied, but she didn't expect that her eldest brother would find the Eastern Han Guqin 'Jiaowei' for herself.
Although Qin Lei is uneducated, he still knows Cai Wenji's father, and in his poor historical memory, there are two things related to this old man, one is that Dong Fatzi was burned by someone who lit a sky lantern, and he went to cry, and the other is that a piece of rotten wood was lit by others, and he went to rescue it. The former brought him death, while the latter left him a beautiful story through the ages, as well as one of the four famous pianos, the Jiaowei Qin.
This piano was given by the Xu family, and it can be said to be one of the two most valuable gifts Qin Lei received. He knew that Yongfu Aiqin, so he borrowed flowers to offer the Buddha and gave them to her.
Qin Lei didn't know the five tones, so naturally he wouldn't understand the status of this qin in the hearts of the people who played the qin, and he saw Yongfu rubbing the qin tremblingly, and his tears kept falling and muttering: "I didn't expect my little sister to be able to see this Jiaowei qin in her lifetime, and she died without regrets, and died without regrets." ā
Qin Lei smacked his tongue and said, "Is there such an exaggeration? ā
Yongfu nodded solemnly, rolled up his sleeves, calmed down, and plucked the strings lightly, and an incomparably crisp sound sounded ...... the piano, even Qin Lei, who didn't know how to play the piano, could hear that this piano was indeed much better than Yongfu's original 'rain hitting the banana qin'.
He could only hear this, but to the ears of those who knew the piano, it was a very different sound. Hearing only the sound of the piano, Shiyun, who was hiding in the back hall, lifted the door curtain, walked in again, and said in a lost voice: "Jiaoweiqin." ā
Yongfu also said excitedly: "Yes, it's really Jiaoweiqin." Saying that, he played the Gongshang Jiao Zhengyu in turn, Qin Lei listened to it very beautifully, but he didn't dare to open his mouth to laugh and be generous, so he could only honestly look at Yongfu and Shiyun with no regrets in his life.
I saw that Shiyun also stepped forward and stroked the palace merchant horn Zhengyu, closed her eyes and remembered for a long time, and then she was slightly excited: "The palace sound is thick and low, and it will be heard in the long run; The business voice is loud and high, agitated and harmonious; The horn sound is harmonious but not harsh, moist but not dry, and the sound is anxious and dry. Like the sound of fire; The feather sound is round and clear, and the strip is smooth. What kind of fairy music should such an artifact play? "I've known Shiyun for so long, and it's the first time Qin Lei has seen her mood swings, but he didn't expect it to be because of a piano with a pasted tail.
Fortunately, Qin Lei had not yet fallen to the point of eating the vinegar of a piano, and smiled at the two girls: "Since this piano is so godly, why don't you play a tune for me?" ā
The two girls glanced at each other and said with a smile: "After long-distance transportation, the strings of this piano have been a little loose, and the tone is inaccurate, but it has to be tuned to play." You must know that even the slightest deviation of the tone is a great stain on this 'Jiaowei lyre'. ā
"Then tune it up." Qin Lei didn't care.
Shiyun covered her mouth and chuckled: "Now I can't tune it, I need to calm down in the quiet room, Her Royal Highness the princess must be the same as the people's daughter, and she can't calm down for a long time." Yongfu nodded and said, "Yes, I still feel like I'm dreaming, and I can't tune in." ā
Afraid that Qin Lei would be disappointed, Yongfu said in a coquettish voice: "After a few days, I will tune this Jiaowei piano, and then ask Sister Shiyun to play a song alone for my brother, this is always okay, right?" ā
Shiyun blushed and said: "The princess is going to tease the people's girl again, just play it, why do you want to be alone?" Although she was shy, she couldn't go away again, so she had to sit on the side and watch the two brothers and sisters talk.
Qin Lei threw a comforting smile at her, signaling her to relax, Shiyun nodded slightly, but said with a wry smile in her heart, Wrongdoer, if it weren't for the pool of spring water of the slave family, how could I be so distracted and ridiculed? Despite this, Shiyun couldn't talk about how annoyed she was, at best she was embarrassed.
Qin Lei turned his gaze to Yongfu, who was still carefully stroking the guqin, and smiled: "Big brother, this gift is lovely? ā
Yongfu's slender eyelashes blinked, his big black eyes rolled, and he smiled sweetly at Qin Lei: "It is indeed extremely rich, and the little sister has nothing to say." But I was guessed by the little sister, and I can't say it's chic. "But he is always an omnipotent big brother who is embarrassed.
Qin Lei saw sweat on his forehead, and said with a bitter face: "There is really no way, but I can't find another piece of rotten wood, so that my sister will cry again." He was joking that Yongfu was so surprised that he cried, but he refused to admit it.
Yongfu blushed, and said stiffly: "Anyway, if you guess it, it doesn't count." ā
Qin Lei sighed with a sad face: "I prepared this gift for my brother......"
In Yongfu's heart, the eldest brother is the closest relative, and it is okay to see him embarrassed, but he is really embarrassed, but he is absolutely unbearable, and he is just about to apologize. saw Qin Lei blink, and said in a long voice: "...... And these few gadgets. ā
Yongfu knew that he was being teased by the stinky big brother again, so he was reluctant for a while, and pulled the corner of Qin Lei's clothes and said coquettishly: "Brother is the worst." But I made up my mind that no matter what gift the eldest brother came up with, he would accept it satisfactorily and no longer embarrass him.
The guards brought in a slightly smaller box from outside and placed it at Qin Lei's feet. Qin Lei opened the box with his own hands, took out a crystal clear ball, and said with a smile: "Sister, please take a look." ā
It was a crystal ball made of natural pure crystal pillars, polished and smooth, like a peeled egg. Transparent and colorless crystal pillars are extremely rare, and if you want to polish such a smooth and perfect surface, you don't just have to scrap how many semi-finished products. Yongfu was born in the Forbidden Garden, and he was Emperor Zhaowu's favorite little princess, how could he not know how precious this round crystal ball the size of a small watermelon was.
If that's the case, I'm afraid it's less than 10% of the value of this crystal ball. I don't know where the master craftsman hollowed out the inside of the crystal ball, leaving only a layer of inch thick ball wall, and painted a picture with watercolor inside.
From the outside, the rivers, high-rise buildings, mountains, and forests in the picture seem to grow inside a crystal ball, giving people the feeling of a world in the palm of your hand.
Shiyun and Yongfu curiously rubbed the smooth crystal ball, and were deeply attracted by the detailed picture inside the ball. I only heard Qin Lei explain in a warm voice: "This is the scenery of the south, the vast soup is the river, the highest building by the river is the Wangjiang Tower with the same name as Wanli Tower, and in the distance is Jingzhou City, Qingchuan Lake, Cuiwei Mountain, etc., which is the essence of the south." ā
Qin Lei smiled at Yongfu, who was fascinated: "I once promised my sister that I would take you to visit all the famous mountains and rivers, historic sites and scenic spots, but this time I went south on official business, so I couldn't take you with me." So I found someone to make this southern landscape beauty ball and brought it back to show you. ā
Yongfu was already in tears, and suddenly hugged Qin Lei's neck and cried, which overwhelmed Qin Lei. Looking at Shiyun with reddish eyes like asking for help, I saw her shaking her head slightly, signaling herself to relax.
Qin Lei gently patted Yongfu's weak back, and comforted him gently: "Little Yongfu doesn't cry, my brother is going to die of sadness if he cries." ā
Yongfu cried for a while before leaving Qin Lei's arms, but he held the crystal ball in his arms again, and said with a happy face: "This gift is 10,000 times more precious to Yongfu than Naqin. ā
