Chapter Eighty-Six: The Temptation of the Priest
Late at night, the lights in Xiangyang City became thinner and thinner, and the lively Xiangyang City slowly quieted down. On the small building in the backyard of the Taishou Mansion, a light is like a bean. Guan Feng was dressed in a Luo shirt and a brocade robe, sitting under the lamp, and chanting softly. It's just that she seems a little uneasy, although her eyes are still on the book, she doesn't know where her mind is.
Although his father said that this matter was just perfunctory, even if he wanted to get married, he would have to wait until a few years later, and no one knew what the situation would be like in a few years, but Guan Feng was still a little nervous, he was already seventeen years old, and if he waited for a few years, wouldn't he be able to get married until he was in his twenties? What if General Zuo agrees to this marriage for the sake of his great cause? Although his father loved himself, he was loyal to General Zuo, and if General Zuo agreed, he was no longer willing and could not refuse.
Marrying an eight-year-old? Guan Feng felt ridiculous and pathetic. She thought of the Jiangdong woman who was quite similar to her, and she thought that it was a very sad thing for Sun Shangxiang to marry General Zuo at a young age, who would have thought that her family affairs were a little more ridiculous than Sun Shangxiang's pathetic.
Guan Feng gloomily put down the book in his hand and wrapped the brocade robe on his body tightly, but he still felt a chill invade his body.
"Miss." Guan Xiaoqing, the personal maid, saw that Guan Feng's face was not good, and hurriedly asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"Nothing." Guan Fengqiang smiled, "You go and close the window tightly, I'm a little cold." ”
Guan Xiaoqing glanced at Guan Feng, did not suspect him, walked to the window, reached out and was about to take the bamboo pole holding the window, her eyes glanced at it, as if she saw a figure, she "Huh", curiously stretched out her head to see what was going on, but Guan Feng sneered, got up, and pulled out the long knife on his side, the knife light was like electricity, and stabbed out from Guan Xiaoqing's cheek.
There was a "clatter" sound, and the long knife was stopped.
"Where did the thief come from, dare to break into the Taishou Mansion." Guan Feng protected the pale Guan Xiaoqing behind him with one hand, and pointed at the swaying window with a knife in the other.
The window was opened, and one hand held the bamboo pole that fell off from Guan Xiaoqing's hand, propped up the window, and then retracted it again. A faint voice came from outside the window: "Sun Shao took the liberty of visiting and frightened Miss Guan, please forgive me." ”
"Is that you?" The knife in Guan Feng's hand slowly hung down, and suddenly his face was flushed, and he hurriedly walked back to his seat, put on a brocade robe, and was stunned for a long time before he said: "It's late at night, Sun Jun is here, it's inconvenient, please go back." ”
Sun Shao outside the window sighed softly, his voice was like the wind blowing in the distance, with an indescribable complaint. Guan Feng's heart seemed to be gently plucked by a hand, she pondered for a moment, her eyes glanced at Guan Xiaoqing, Guan Xiaoqing was stunned for a moment, shook her head and didn't allow it, but was glared at by Guan Feng, so she had to pout and go out, and took the door with her hand.
Guan Feng wrapped her brocade robe tightly, and walked lightly to the window, just a few steps, but it seemed to have walked for thousands of years, she leaned against the wall, opened her mouth and took a breath, so that her beating heart slowly calmed down, and then said in a weak voice: "Jun came late at night, and the concubine can't invite you into the room." ”
Sun Shao outside the wall smiled, although Guan Feng couldn't see him, he still owed: "Sun Shao was reckless and disturbed the girl's rest, it shouldn't be, but he fought with the girl, and the love was unforgettable, so he dared to come and have a few words, I wanted to tell the girl." ”
Guan Feng was silent for a moment, and his tone became a little stiff: "Guan Feng listens attentively. ”
Sun Shao's voice was calm and calm: "The girl is the daughter of General Guan, and she must have foreseen her marriage. Even if I don't come to ask for relatives, the general can't be independent. Either a person from another country, or a nobleman from a country, a son of General Zuo, or the son of General Zhang, or other nobles, just like my aunt, cannot be autonomous. ”
Guan Feng was silent, of course she knew what Sun Shao said, but there was no solution. No matter how arrogant his father is, can he still ignore the overall situation? If General Zuo wants to use her marriage to make a political deal, his father has no choice. With his father's status, even if he doesn't marry Sun Deng, he is likely to marry General Zuo's son Liu Chan, who is still dragging his nose.
Sun Shao heard his aunt talk about the girl before, but he didn't think so, thinking that his aunt was exaggerating, and coming to Jingzhou was really not resentful. Today, I said that I was fighting with the girl, and I knew that what my aunt said was true, and what Ling Zun said also had a source. Sun Shao praised Guan Feng tactfully, and then sighed again: "Sun Shao is not talented, he can't bear to see Ling Zun licking the calf deeply, and he missed a major national event, so he took the liberty to come, borrowed the opportunity to speak, and then heard the girl's voice, how dare he have the heart to enter the house, and the act of a beautiful woman?" ”
Guan Feng was stunned for a long time, lowered his head, and said softly: "Thank you Sun Jun for your kindness, I can't repay it, it's cold at night, please go back and rest." ”
There was no sound outside, Guan Feng turned his head sideways, and wanted to stick out his head to see if Sun Shao was still there, but he was embarrassed, so he had to ask quietly: "Sun Jun?" ”
"I'm listening." Sun Shao smiled softly, and then said, "The girl hasn't rested yet, isn't she Wen Shu?" ”
Guan Feng's eyes rolled and he smiled softly: "Exactly." Sun Jun said that he wanted to be more literate and discuss martial arts, this martial arts has already been discussed, and tomorrow he will naturally be more literate, without making some preparations in advance, how can he be Sun Jun's opponent? ”
Sun Shao sighed: "Zuo Chuan Spring and Autumn Period, but it's just a broken court uniform, just talk about it by those sour Confucian scholars, but the girl's seven-hearted heart also says such an article." ”
Guan Feng couldn't help but laugh when he saw that he was interesting, and he didn't refute it, and said softly: "Then according to Sun Jun's opinion, what should I do?" ”
"If it's a comparison with a girl, Sun Shao would rather talk about poetry." Sun Shao smiled faintly: "For example, 'beat the drum and use the soldiers', how good, it is in line with the posture of the girl Yunwen Yunwu." ”
Guan Fengxiao's face was a little red, but fortunately, the two were separated by a wall, and Sun Shao couldn't see her. She raised her hand, stroked her hot cheek, and didn't speak for a long time. The two sentences that Sun Shao said are the "Wind Drumming" in the Book of Songs, and his intention is obviously not only these two sentences, but the other two sentences in this poem: "Holding the hand of the son, growing old with the son", the purpose of his late night coming is self-evident. It's just such a bold and straightforward expression, which makes her unacceptable for a while, and she doesn't know how to answer.
"Girl, Sun Shao is gone, see you later." Sun Shao gently knocked twice on the wall with his hand, which was regarded as a farewell. Guan Feng heard the soft sound on the tiles outside, and couldn't help flashing out of the wall, wanting to take a look at Sun Shao's back, but she didn't expect to be greeted by a grinning face, which frightened her into exclamation, and subconsciously punched out.
Sun Shao had already prepared, his hand was like electricity, he grabbed Guan Feng's wrist, and pulled it gently, Guan Feng was involuntarily pulled by him to the window, and the two were only separated by a wall, and their faces were almost together. Guan Feng was ashamed, he no longer had the sassy and heroic appearance of the day, and hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to meet Sun Shao's hot eyes.
Sun Shao sighed in Guan Feng's ear, then let go of Guan Feng's slippery wrist, turned his head, reached out and pulled up Guan Feng's brocade robe that had slipped to his chest, gently wrapped it around her shoulders, and then took a step back, bowed down, turned his body vertically, and ran a few steps along the ridge of the roof, then swept down the wall like a big bird and disappeared into the long alleyway.
Guan Feng looked at Sun Shao's fluttering figure in the night breeze and gently held his wrist. A gust of night wind blew, she couldn't help but shiver, and involuntarily tightened her brocade robe.
"Miss, why are you still standing here, you will get cold." I don't know when, Guan Xiaoqing pushed the door in, and saw that Guan Feng was still standing in front of the window, so he hurriedly stepped forward to close the window, pulled her to the bed and sat down, seeing that Guan Feng's body was cold, he just pulled his wrist and didn't let go, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Miss, look at you, your clothes are messed up, is that the disciple bullying you?" ”
Guan Feng was startled, and then found that the placket of his shirt under the brocade robe was open, revealing a white chest, and his face was suddenly flushed. She remembered Sun Shao's demeanor when he turned his head when he pulled out the brocade robe for her, and smiled shyly: "He is not a disciple. ”
"Running upstairs to the young lady in the middle of the night, aren't you a disciple?" Guan Xiaoqing muttered: "I see that he has come and gone without a trace, maybe he is a habitual offender." ”
Guan Feng was about to speak, but faintly heard a burst of music, she listened to it for a long time, quickly got out of bed, walked to the window again, opened the window a crack, and the melodious flute immediately rushed in. The sound of the flute is tactful and clear, and it sounds very clear in the silent night, but there is no harsh feeling at all, and the tone of crying is mixed in the night breeze, as if telling some wishes.
"Is that him?" Guan Xiaoqing leaned beside Guan Feng and asked, pointing to a figure on the roof in the direction of the post house. But she didn't hear Guan Feng's answer for a long time, and when she looked up, she saw Guan Feng's eyes looking directly at the figure, and the two dimples on her cheeks were full of shyness and longing.
