Chapter VI

The sound of the piano faded and scattered in the wind, and it seemed faintly that it was still ringing, but when I listened closely, I heard nothing. The aftermath lingers, and the three days are endless, and it is about now!

"One step further, this soft incense pavilion has one more idiot who fell from the building for love."

Suddenly there was a light laugh behind me, I suddenly came back to my senses, it turned out that I was leaning out of the window for the most part, and an unsteady will fall downstairs, I retracted the heart that had already flown out, looked back and smiled dryly, "Yushi, when did you come?" Why didn't I hear it? ”

Yushi clutched her chest in pain, and sighed with resentment in her eyes, "Alas! If the old man is really defeated by the newcomer, look at you so disappointed, it is really chilling to look at others under the guise of looking at me. Fangcai's mother said that someone asked me to go to Sanlipo to enjoy the flowers, and I knew it was you as soon as I heard it, and I rushed here, for fear that you would be bored here. Looking at it now, it turns out that I am the one who is superfluous. ”

After saying that, I pretended to turn around and leave, so I hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her, "Where are you here to see others, this ..... It's something that doesn't happen to me... I...... I'll pay you no, come and drink tea! ”

"Huh!" Yushi chuckled lightly and turned her eyes to look at the window where I was standing, "What are you looking at again?" I was so engrossed that I didn't even notice when I came in. ”

I laughed dryly, pulled my sleeves and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I saw that the bamboo planted outside the window was good, and I lost my mind for a while." ”

"It's true that my daughter has to be careful when she grows up, Zhen'er, you have a habit since you were a child, and you will pull your sleeves when you lie." Yushi pointed to my cuffs and smiled, "Look at what those cuffs have been torn into, you still don't tell the truth!" ”

"I ........" Yushi wants to be careful and intelligent, it seems that I really can't hide it from her" Fangcai, I heard someone playing the piano, the sound of the piano was very beautiful, and my heart was moved for a while, and I was stunned unconsciously. Yushi, who lives in the bamboo forest, I want to visit. ”

"Bamboo forest?" Yu Shi said, "The soft incense pavilion is not planted with bamboo, but there is a bamboo forest in the green bamboo courtyard. ”

"Green Bamboo Temple....."

"There are a lot of people living in Qingzhu Courtyard, but you just said that you were attracted by the sound of the piano, although Zhen'er's piano skills are ordinary, but the appreciation is not bad. What can attract you must be good piano skills, isn't it.......... That person? ”

I stepped forward and grabbed Yushi's sleeve and asked, "Who is it?" Tell me, who is that man? ”

Yu Shi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not sure if it's him, if you guess wrong, and it's not a blind man to guide the way, take it to the ditch!" ”

"Good sister, just tell me what you guess in your heart, don't hang me anymore, I'm curious to death."

"Alright, alright! It's up to you! Yushi sighed lightly and said helplessly, "Now you can let go of my cuffs!" Look what you've been pulled up for! ”

I hurriedly let go and sat upright, like a student.

"You!"

Yu Shi nodded my finger helplessly, and said with a light smile, "I heard Xiao Yin say that a month ago, it seems that a newcomer lived in Zhuqingyuan, and it is rumored that this person has good piano skills and extraordinary appearance, and he is a little more handsome than that Fu Fan He Lang." It's just that I don't know what Zhang's mother has planned, and everything depends on him. It's been a whole month, and no one has seen his true face. He didn't see three times when he picked up customers, he didn't see him, he didn't see him, he didn't see him, he didn't see him, he didn't see him, he didn't see him. He has always been the guest, but when he comes to him, he is the main one. It didn't take long for him to be the head of the Bamboo Academy, serving guests with the piano, and I heard that when entertaining guests, he would pull a three-layer gauze tent in front of him, and the guests would have to take three steps back, and if they wanted to take a step forward, they would be beaten out immediately. ”

"Ahh Wouldn't his guests be few! ”

"Quite the opposite!" Yushi shook her head and said, "The wild bees and butterflies seem to be benefactors, and they can't drive away, and they can't drive away from the guests, and they are looking forward to seeing the beautiful woman in the bamboo green courtyard all day long." ”

"Ahh So spoiled! That..... Yushi, you can see him, is his appearance as handsome as rumored? ”

Yushi shook her head and said, "No one has really seen him, Xiao Yin happened to meet Zhang's mother looking for him, there were only two people in the house, still separated by the gauze tent, and I saw him sitting behind the gauze tent." Xiaoyin also joked that Zhang's mother was very diligent and humble at that time, unlike in the past, her flattering appearance was a bit like seeing her own master............."

"It's not surprising at all, according to Zhang's mother's greedy temperament, not all the top and bottom of this soft incense pavilion are her big masters and small masters."

"Yushi, what's this person's name?"

"I have never paid attention to the outside world, I don't know what this person's name is, I only know that people call him Lian Gongzi."

"Lian Gongzi ....." It's okay not to ask, but this question is even more curious in my heart, what kind of person is behind this fairy-like title.

.........................................

Ever since I heard the sound of Lian Gongzi's piano, I couldn't put it down anymore, and I sneaked into the alley of one person at every opportunity.

The bustard's mother said that if you want to see Lian Gongzi, you don't need silver taels, you just need to be mindful. I nested in the room for several days and made a tortoiseshell folding fan with my own hands and sent it to Zhuqingyuan, wanting to meet the rumored Lian Gongzi, but I was withdrawn at that time.

The bustard's mother said that Lian Gongzi has the habit of stroking the qin in the twilight, so whenever I see that the sun is about to set in the west, I will step on the crimson clouds and secretly come to the soft incense pavilion, sometimes I listen to the piano with the rain poem, and sometimes I sit alone in the flower pavilion.

I was lying in the Flower Pavilion all day looking at the Zhuqing Courtyard, Xiao Yin made fun of me and said, "Miss Ye often says that she is attached to Buddhism?" Why are you so obsessed with mortal dust, where is this still like a disciple of the master of idiocy. ”

This is indeed what I often say, and I am indeed a lay disciple of the idiot master, and now the behavior of such an idiot is indeed a bit of a person who has lost the master.

When I was a child, I was frail, and a wandering monk who was known as an idiot came to give me medicine, saying that I had an extraordinary face and wanted to accept me as a disciple, and my mother was reluctant to let me stay away from home. The wandering monk accepted me as a lay disciple, saying that I had suffered many calamities and needed scriptures to protect my body.

And I relied on the fact that I had read more scriptures, and I was the only lay disciple of the idiot master, so I exaggerated in front of Xiao Yin, saying that I had already jumped out of the red dust, and my pure heart and few desires to walk in the world was just an experience.

Who knew that this would be broken in just one winter and summer, and the slap in the face was really fast.

"The sound of this piano has stopped for a stick of incense, why are you still here, I heard Cai Qing say that my uncle is going back to the house in the past two days, you are not afraid of punishment and kneeling!"

"Squeak!" After the door was opened, I only heard a chuckle behind me, I knew that Yushi had come in, and I didn't have the heart to look back, looking out of the window stupidly.

"Today's play is frost, although the sound of the piano is good, but it is too short, it really reflects the words of the ancients, the hoarfrost and fallen leaves never have a shadow, this song is as short as the frost. Listen to the emptiness of the heart. ”

"I have good news here, and after hearing it, I may be able to fill in the void in your heart."

I waved my hand indifferently and said, "Say it!" ”

"It turns out that Lian Gongzi grew up in the Zhuqing Courtyard when he was a child, and he was originally a slave of the family, and he was not noticeable. He has loved the piano since he was a child, and has eavesdropped on the teachings of the piano master many times, and his adoptive father saw that he really liked it, so he begged Zhang's mother to let him enter the piano room to serve those young little silk, who knew that after staying for a while, he was favored by the piano master and wanted to accept him as an apprentice. On the day of redemption, Zhang's mother met with him, and Zhang's mother's eyes read countless people, and she expected that he would be amazed when he grew up, so she refused to let go. The piano master threw his sleeves and left, maybe he really loved Cai, or there was a trace of guilt, and he left a piano score for him when he left, but he didn't expect that he really played the piano out of his name later. ”

"At the beginning, he was just a famous violinist, and there were more and more people coming here day by day, and Zhang's mother saw that the time was ripe, so she hit his idea, hung up the sign, and became a Qingwan."

"Zhang's mother wanted to hang up the tag, so he hung it, how could he not refuse, he was a house slave and he didn't sell the death deed." When Yushi said Lian Gongzi, I instantly came to my senses, and listened attentively to what she said, for fear of missing a word.

"You're wrong, he's a house slave, or a family slave." Yu Shi sighed, "Domestic slaves have no freedom at all, everything is the master, not to mention the slaves born in the family." ”

Yu Shi said, "However, I heard that his adoptive father begged Zhang's mother before he died, don't force him to pick up customers, Xu is Zhang's mother really remembers it, and she hasn't said a word about picking up customers until now." Of course, this does not rule out that maybe she has other calculations in mind. ”

I sighed, and the heart in my chest seemed to be tied to a boulder and thrown into the lake, not only heavy and uncomfortable, but also cold and painful.

I took Yushi's hand and thanked him solemnly.

Yushi wondered, "How is it such a serious book, where does this thank you come from?" ”

"I know that by your nature, you don't bother to inquire about things around you. If it weren't for me, how could I deliberately inquire and wronged you. ”

Yu Shi smiled, "Actually, it's not just for you, there are other reasons, I'm also curious, what kind of person makes you so haunted." ”

"Rain poem!"

"Okay, no kidding, you really should go home, or you'll really be punished. I heard that he never likes to play the qin in the house, and I have asked Xiao Yin to inquire about the place where he is used to playing the qin, and the next time you come, you should be able to see him. ”

"Seriously!" I was overjoyed and spun around with excitement.

"If nothing else, it is. Okay, you should go back, otherwise your uncle will find out, and I'm afraid you won't be able to get out within half a year. ”

"I'll go back, and I'll come to you as soon as I have the chance!"

Yu Shi smiled gracefully, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you!" ”

Xiao Yin's girl has always been ink, I thought it would take some time to get the good news, I didn't want to only a few days before I received Xiao Yin's message, saying that I found the place where Lian Gongzi often stroked the qin, I was so excited that I didn't close my eyes all night, in order to express my gratitude, I also specially picked a jade bracelet in excellent condition to prepare for Xiao Yin.

I heard that Mrs. Wan's daughter who had just come out of the cabinet fell ill, and Lang Zhong said that the heart disease was difficult to treat, if it could be better in the past two days, it would be good, if it could not be better, it could only prepare for the future. Mrs. Wan has a daughter under her knees, taking care of her in front of the couch every day, and her eyes are about to cry blind.

My mother and Mrs. Wan were friends at the time, and they had to go to visit, so they were going to take me with them. I had another calculation in my heart, so I refused my mother because I was unwell, and my mother left me in the house with half a doubt, and when I left, I specially told me, "You don't have to sneak out of the door under the guise of it, your father will return to the house at any time in the next two days, if you see that you are restless, beware of punishing you to kneel in the ancestral hall." ”

I repeatedly told her that she would not slip out of the door, and she relented a little and left the house with her gifts.

As soon as my mother walked away, I slipped to the back door with Cai Qing, and a carriage was waiting there early, and I got into the car with a smoke, urging the groom to hurry up.

When I arrived at the Soft Fragrance Pavilion, Yu Shi was changing clothes, Xiao Yin came out with tea to greet me, and her big round eyes were full of a playful smile, "I helped you find out such important news, how are you going to reward me?" ”

"There's still less of you girl, na!"

I put the jade bracelet that I had prepared on her hand, she was overjoyed, first silly for a while, and then said to me, "Miss Ye, where can you take on it if you love me so much, isn't this a torture slave!" ”

"Can't afford it? Then give it back to me! ”

I put down the teacup, stretched out my hand and pretended to take off the jade bracelet, the girl covered the bracelet, and flashed to the side smartly, "Miss Ye, you have always made a promise, this kind of repentance will lower your status, the slave is soft-hearted, I can't see your self-inferiority, I think it's better to accept it." ”

"You girl."

As she was talking, she only heard the bead curtain in the room move, and when she looked up and saw Yu Shi walking out, she glanced at Xiao Yin with a smile and said, "You girl always likes to talk to Zhen'er poorly, and I don't want to think that you are also taught by her, where can you say anything about her!" ”

I snorted, "Humph!" Yushi, are you talking about her, or are you talking about me! ”

Yu Shi smiled gracefully, "Self-..... Both said. ”

She turned her eyes to look at Xiao Yin and said with a smile, "Look at you, cover your hands so strongly, what good things did Zhen'er reward you again?" ”

Xiao Yin stepped forward and stretched out her wrist in front of Yu Shi, who glanced at it and smiled, "Since it was given by Zhen'er, you can take it alive!" Keep a low profile, don't let Zhang's mother see it, if she takes a fancy to it, she will definitely ask you for it. I prepared some small peach cakes today, Zhen'er loves to eat this dim sum, you can go and get it! ”

Xiao Yin nodded happily and hummed a little song to prepare a snack.

Yu Shi looked at Cai Qing, who was dressed in men's clothes, and said with a smile, "Qing'er, I heard that my uncle is going back to the house in the next two days, you go to the door to help your master watch it, in case someone from the Ye Mansion comes, you can leave through the back door in advance." ”

Cai Qing nodded, and saluted, "Miss Xie Wen reminds that the slave and maid will retreat first." ”

At this time, there were only two people left in the room, and I asked, "Yushi, you have left the ward, but what do you have to tell me?" ”

Yushi nodded and said with a smile, "I've become smarter, I do have something to tell you, it's about Lian Gongzi"

"What's wrong with Lian Gongzi?" Before Yushi finished speaking, I preemptively asked.

Yu Shi said helplessly, "He's fine, it's what I want to tell you about Lian Gongzi." ”

I secretly breathed a sigh of relief in my heart and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"You always think about Lian Gongzi because he is excellent at the piano and can attract your attention. To put it bluntly, you don't like Lian Gongzi, but you are worried about his piano skills, which is a worship of a piano master, not a relationship between men and women. You have to keep this in mind at all times, and don't get confused. ”

I was dizzy when I heard this, and I wondered, "Yushi, what's wrong with you, you suddenly said such incoherent words." ”

Yu Shi sighed, "I'm worried, worried that you will like this Lian Gongzi, and even more worried that you will be hurt." ”

"I don't understand that."

Yushi stood up and walked to the window, I looked at her back, only to hear her sigh faintly, "Yesterday I met Lian Gongzi, he is more handsome than rumored." I grew up with you since I was a child, I know exactly what kind of person you are, I'm very worried, you won't be able to let go of that Lian Gongzi after you see him. I'm afraid you're going to go from liking his skills to liking him as a person. If you confuse your feelings, then.... It's troublesome. ”

I tilted my head and asked, "Look at what you said, I just like to joke with people on weekdays, and I'm not a stupid boss on the street, and I fell in love with everyone at first sight." ”

There was a crazy fool on the street of Yiyi Lane, who heard that he was not stupid when he was young, and when he returned to his hometown, he learned that his fiancΓ©e was passing on to others, and he couldn't stand the blow and suddenly became naΓ―ve. Wandering around the streets all day long, he came forward to confess when he met people, and it was love at first sight with anyone, but although he was stupid, he also knew what was good, and when he saw that people were annoyed, he consciously went back to the corner of the wall.

I saw the crested hairpin on Yushi's bun shook slightly, she looked back, her eyes were full of worry, "Zhen'er, you can say such things, one is that you haven't seen him, and the other is you.... You don't know yourself at all. ”

I was silent for a long time, and assured Yushi, "I promise you that I will never like him. I saw him secretly, and never mentioned him again. Then you can feel a little more at ease! ”

Yu Shi said helplessly, "If you like it or not, you can do it, this is guaranteed!" I regretted it after only a stick of incense! ”

She sat down next to me, and suddenly her voice changed, "Whatever your mind may have in mind later, there are some things I must warn you of now." ”

"I don't know if this Lian Gongzi was born like this, or if he was born like this, or if he changed the day after tomorrow, it seems that he is really a broken sleeve. These days, I have been paying attention to exploring everywhere, and I have heard that many rich and noble sons have invited him to go out to visit the mountains and lakes, and he has responded to one or two. The day before yesterday, a man asked for his sign by name, and he really received it. I went to take a look, and although the man he received was mediocre, the aura on his body was that of a practitioner. The clothes on his body are also simple, simple and deliberate, only one place makes me recognize his identity. He is not wearing ordinary boots on his feet, the top of the boots is a dark gold pillow fabric, and the oblique needle and thread method is used, which is the unique thread method of the palace embroiderer, and the person who wears this kind of boots must be a person in the palace. ”

"The imperial front management is strict, it is impossible to allow them to go to the alley alone, and nine times out of ten they are the guards around the prince. If it is really an ordinary guard, it will not have such power, so that he can nod and be willing to meet, maybe there is a broken sleeve master behind this guard who can't come forward, Zhen'er, that's all I can remind, you have always been confused, you can't give a heart to others without knowing anything. ”

I nodded and said very solemnly, "Got it, don't worry!" ”

Yushi shook her head, her expression was very helpless, "The more you are like this, the more I can't rest assured." ”

"It's time to calculate, let's go! I'll take you to see that Lotus Prince. Yushi took out the veil from her sleeve and walked out first, I jumped up excitedly and followed Yushi in a hurry.

I followed Yushi out of the side door of the Soft Incense Pavilion, walked through two corridors, passed through a bamboo forest, and stopped before the nine turns of water.

The pond is sparse and sloping, the dark fragrance floats, the pear blossoms on the opposite side of the pond are connected to the sky, the pear blossoms on the branches are very strong, the flowers are fragrant, such as a large piece of white snow falling on the branches, the scenery makes people very comfortable. If you lie quietly under the pear tree, watching the branches burn white, it will be like a fairyland, and people will be reluctant to leave.

Suddenly, there was a crisp sound of the piano in the sea of flowers, and the sound of the piano was accompanied by the sound of gurgling water, and I closed my eyes and listened carefully to the sound of the piano in the sea of flowers.

The sound of the piano was close to my ears, and I seemed to follow the sound of the piano into the sea of flowers, and the person who played the piano was in front of me, and I was only a piano away from him. In a trance I had a delusion, it seemed.... It seems like I could see him as soon as I opened my eyes...............

The sound of the piano faded away, and I slowly opened my eyes, and the sound of the piano kept echoing in my head, like a big dream, and I woke up without knowing where I was.

Suddenly, there was a faint movement in the sea of flowers, I looked for the sound, and saw a white figure walking towards this side from a distance, I was faintly excited in my heart, and stared at the white figure with two round eyes.

The figure was getting closer and closer, and a certain string in my heart was inexplicably tense, and the moment the white clothes came out, I only heard "Bang!" With a sound, he subconsciously tightened the placket on his chest, the string that had been tightened in his heart..... Broken............

Yu Shi really knows me best, everything she was worried about before happened, one moment I patted my chest and swore that I would never know what love at first sight was, and the next moment I regretted it, and my bowels were all green.

When he walked out with the piano in his arms, the sea of flowers behind him suddenly faded, the breeze was gentle, the twilight was misty, the pear blossoms were like jade, and the dark fragrance lingered.

He raised his eyebrows indifferently, and there were countless people in the world.

I have seen a lot of people in white, but only he can be worthy of the cleanest color in heaven and earth, and I, just because I look at him, I am stupid.

Yushi suddenly turned around and asked me, "This is the Lian Gongzi you have been looking forward to for a long time, how about He Lang Bi Na Bo Fan?" ”

I shook my head blankly and said, "I can't say the same." ”

"What do you think when you see it?"

I covered my empty heart, reluctantly looking at the pear blossom branches swaying in the wind, a budding flower bone slightly entangled in the wind, I turned my eyes to look at the rain poem, the voice was as ethereal as a light veil "Spring is coming, it's so good............."
