The clouds are clever, and the flying stars spread hatred.

Now this season, although it is still far from Qixi Festival, it is also possible to bloom a little feeling in the night sky in the eyes of the girl.

Qin Cao had already taken off his makeup and luxurious skirt, and was only wearing a plain mid-shirt and white skirt, leaning on the window idlely, looking up at the night when the water and sky were unified.

The night is like water, and the water is like night.

The gentle waves of the West Lake and the frays of spring and night merge with each other, as if the thick ink is gradually melting in the clear water, and I don't know when, I can't take it off anymore.

The starlight sprinkled all over the West Lake, so quiet that you almost forgot to breathe.

Qin Cao played barefoot, looking at the beautiful scenery outside, and remembered what happened when he was a child.

She thought about it, bit her lower lip slightly, and as if she had made up her mind, she jumped lightly with her arm on the palm-wide windowsill, and the whole person sat on it lightly.

The feet without shoes and socks fell on the outside of the skirt, and under the candlelight in the room, they emitted an almost transparent halo.

Her feet shook slightly, and she hummed faintly, the country slang of unknown names was softly hummed by her.

Qin Cao looked at the lake outside the window with a smile in his eyes, and reached out to remove the hairpin on his head, and the soft green silk was scattered like this.

The breeze blows, the green silk is slightly raised, and the skirt is slightly swaying.

The precious hairpin was thrown away by her casually, and what she liked more than the precious treasures was the two starlights in the sky and the water in front of the window.

"Last year, the flowers bloomed early, and there was no plum blossom in the snow. A spring is about to release, and now Nong is in front of him. Dare to ask the sky and the moon, Liu Langan is in the introduction? ”

She sang a small song from her hometown, with a soft accent that was different from that of Hangzhou, playful and soft, and the hearts of the hooked people were melodious.

It's not that it's being sung to anyone, and now there is no one else around her. She is singing to herself, reminiscing about the past days, reminiscing about those long alleys, and the Xuemei she has seen with an umbrella.

Sometimes, she also thinks of Lu Ji during the Wei and Jin dynasties. Lu Ji sighed that "Huating Crane can be heard", compared with him, what is the gap between himself.

But what is gone, after all, is gone.

She is a very tough woman, like three thousand green silk, even if it seems soft and delicate, but if you want to completely cut off, it is always a little difficult.

A river of spring water and a river moon, a little bit of rouge and a little sorrow.

But this melancholy is only a part of too shallow, although she is still young, she has already seen too much of the hot and cold world. Looking for a lot of useless places in idleness, you must live when you should live, and you must always be how you should be.

Fortunately, no matter how bumpy her experience is, the breeze in the mountains does not change, and the bright moon does not change, this is already something that can make her smile.

There was a soft creak, and the layers pushed the door in, and when they saw Qin Cao's posture sitting on the window lattice, they couldn't help but be startled, and quickly turned around and closed the door tightly.

"My good sister, I'm not afraid of catching a cold again!" Layer Luan stepped forward with a smile, stuffed a cup of hot tea in the piano operator's hand, and stood in front of the window for a while, feeling that there was indeed no cold wind outside, so he was a little relieved.

After all, the layers are also the age of jumping out, and looking at the piano exercise like this, there is a little envy in my heart. His eyes rolled secretly, grinned, and simply took off his shoes and socks, turned over dexterously, and sat on the windowsill as well.

Outside the window is the water of West Lake, if one is not careful, it is inevitable that two people will be planted in the water. But youth is to do what comes to mind, whether it is dangerous or not, meaningful or not, will be put aside. As long as you want it at the time and feel happy, it is enough.

Qin Cao and Layer Luan looked at each other and laughed, Layer Luan was naughty, and the little feet of the bare Luo stepped on the instep of Qin Cao, laughing mischievously in a low voice. Qin Cao glared at her, and replied with a smile, and the laughter and play of the two girls became warm in Yingying's room a few feet away.

The laughter like silver bells gently surrounded, and an atmosphere like a moonlit night in the spring river lingered like the wind in such a small space.

"Sister Qin, I just heard them say that since the incident of "Hairpin Phoenix" last night, your reputation has become bigger and bigger. Now that all the things have spread, I don't know how many princes and grandsons want to come to the Yuefang to see Fangrong! Hee-hee! Layer Luan said with a smile.

These are all things that Qin Cao can guess, and at this time, listening to what the layers said like this, there were not too many thoughts in his heart, excitement, surprise, and the like did not surface.

The reputation of piano gymnastics in the past...... It can't be said that it is not popular, but in the realm of Hangzhou, which sells gold and eats bones, there are too many beauties with thousands of styles lingering, so the reputation of Qin Cao has not reached the top. Being famous is naturally undeniable, but it is only limited to a certain pattern, and many people know her only because of her excellent piano playing.

The stunning appearance is really a very common thing in their circle. What's more, the beauty of Qin Cao is gentle and beautiful, without the first glance of the peony and the country, so once she is placed in a place where the beauty is like a cloud, she may not get too much attention.

There are not many areas that play the piano well and really reach the level of piano drilling, but it is not completely absent. As a result, more guests appreciate her, but the real appreciation and even worship are a little far away.

The Qinglou painting boat in this era is different from a thousand years later. Men linger here not just for a trace of primitive desire and hope, but more for appreciation.

With an attitude of appreciation, I looked at the beauties in front of me, and watched all kinds of piano and chess playing and singing with a heart of praise. This kind of playfulness will eventually gradually break away from the circle of men and spread to men, women and children.

This is like the annual Lantern Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and other festivals, too many heads of the line will come out to play, sing, perform, among them, these leaders, it is also a very normal thing to be appreciated by the women of ordinary people's families, and even after a certain line of leaders put on a kind of makeup that has never been seen but is very beautiful, it will cause the women of good families in the whole city to follow suit.

The head of the line and the oiran, these words are not as unbearable and lowly as in the eyes of later generations, but are mixed with the star halo after a thousand years.

Qin Cao is somewhat famous among these people, but after the incident of "Hairpin Phoenix", with the rendering and various interpretations of scholars from all walks of life, but in one day, too many people have known about this matter. Therefore, the fame of piano gymnastics has also begun to go all the way up.

If it were the other women in the painting boat, I am afraid that they would have already cheered at this time.

But Qin Cao listened to the words of the mountains, just smiled faintly, and looked at the West Lake outside the window again.

"Sister Qin, isn't it good to be famous?" Layer Luan was a little puzzled, and asked her with a wink.

Qin Cao chuckled and replied, "It's cold in high places." Besides, I just want to save some money in peace and secure to redeem myself for you and me. Now that there is such a trouble, I am afraid that the money for redemption will rise again. And...... The more people come to me, the more things to deal with. You know my temperament, but you don't really like those dealings. ”

Layer Luan understood, reached out and tugged Qin Cao's sleeve: "Sister Qin, don't worry, Layer Luan has also grown up, and she will help her sister deal with a lot of things." ”

Qin Cao smiled and didn't answer. I couldn't help but think silently in my heart: What a stupid child, what my sister is most afraid of is that you will grow up! After all, this is the Moon Drinking Boat, when you grow up, can your mother still let you be by my side for the rest of your life......

She thought so, but this kind of thing was naturally impossible to say to the layers.

Qin Cao looked at the growing chest of the layers, and said casually: "I'm afraid we'll be a little busy here these days, and that Chu Langjun probably won't be too easy." Layers, you help me remember some, if you are free, you can personally help me run and ask about the origin of the calligraphy and painting. ”

"Good!" Layer Luan responded obediently, and recalled all kinds of things that happened last night, and couldn't help but smile, "Sister Qin, that Chu Langjun is really handsome!" He is talented, and his paintings are so good-looking. He compared Sister Qin to an orchid, and he must also have a good impression of you, sister! ”

Qin Cao thought of Chu Feng's Zhilan jade tree-like figure, and his ears seemed to hear his cold jade voice again, and he couldn't help blushing slightly for a while.

She poked the mountain in anger, and scolded with a smile: "You little girl still dare to ridicule me, I see, it's you who has taken a fancy to that Chu Langjun." But then again, you can ask, but make it simple and don't let anyone else see it. ”

"Why?" The mountains were puzzled, and a pair of eyes were wide open.

Qin Cao explained: "I think that Chu Langjun is a person who doesn't like to be lively and social, if you go openly, it is inevitable that the outside world will spread the discussion between me and him." On the one hand, he is afraid that he will be exhausted, and on the other hand, it may also affect his reputation. ”

The layers were half-understood, and nodded in response.

……

……

In the early morning of the second day of the township tasting banquet, Chu Feng came to the side door of the mansion early to knock on the door according to the previous agreement.

The officials had already been instructed, and at this time, when they heard Chu Feng's name, they hurriedly greeted them. It's just that during this period, the official couldn't help but look at Chu Feng twice, thinking that this Chu Feng is really young and promising, and the storytellers all say that someone is suave and flowing, and the young man in front of him probably deserves such a comment.

led Chu Feng into the side hall to wait, and the official helped serve tea, accompanied by a smiling face: "Chu Langjun, please wait a while, Lord Liu lives in the East Chamber, and the villain will go and invite." ”

Chu Feng thanked him and said with a smile: "Thank you, I'm not in a hurry." Lord Liu is old, if he hasn't gotten up yet, don't be disturbed by me. It's okay for me to come first, so it's okay to wait a little longer. ”

The official answered and turned away.

Although Liu Qi and Cheng Yuan are old acquaintances, they haven't met for a long time. In the examination garden of the township test before, Lord Liu told Chu Feng that he would lead the way to Cheng Yuan, and Chu Feng naturally did not dare to refuse.

It's just that a few days after the township test, Lord Liu has been busy with things and miscellaneous things, and he didn't have time to meet friends until today, so Chu Feng came to the door.

After taking two sips of tea at random, a person walked in outside the door.

Chu Feng raised his eyes to take a look, and found that it was Liu Zhengqing's brother Liu Zhengping, so he couldn't help but be slightly stunned and got up to greet him.

"Chu Langjun doesn't have to be polite, I just heard them say that you are here, and I want to come and meet." Liu Zhengping and Liu Zhengqing are worthy of being brothers, and they are about the same height. Probably because of the practice of martial arts, Liu Zhengping's figure is much stronger than Liu Zhengqing, a pure literati, and he looks quite powerful.

Liu Zhengping hugged his fists at Chu Feng, and his smile was slightly embarrassed: "I met in a hurry before, I couldn't even talk well, and I didn't even introduce myself seriously...... Under Liu Zhengping, the current governor of the state government, he is ...... It's the younger brother under it. ”

Chu Feng smiled and saluted back: "Liu's affairs are healthy." ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be!" Liu Zheng's face showed a little embarrassment, and he seemed to be quite hesitant, "Don't hide it from Chu Langjun, this time I came over cheekily, in fact, because of my own trivial matters......"

Liu Zhengping touched his nose in embarrassment: "Something about Yiming." ”
