Chapter 80: How Can You Be Envious?
Oh, yes! Fear of loneliness.
Maybe it poked Xu Qingqing's heart, she glanced at her piano with affection, smiled a little bitterly, and turned to look at Xu Nianchun and the two, her eyes revealed a trace of envy, and then said: "I envy you a little, you have someone to accompany you." ”
Envy? Heh, Wen Xian'an frowned, if she hadn't been reborn in a lifetime, she would probably have envied her previous self, after all, who doesn't want to climb the dragon as a phoenix, she married into the palace, became the queen, and was in charge of the six palaces, which is probably something that everyone will envy.
But only she knows that in that position, fighting openly and secretly, every step is a dangerous road, once she goes wrong, she will never recover, and finally end up with incense and jade.
If she really talks about envy, she is envious of the life of ordinary people, three meals a day, sunrise and sunset, although it is ordinary, but there are no intrigues, carefree, and free.
Wen Xian'an picked up the last piece of fish meat in the bowl, put it in his mouth, shook his head, and said with a smile: "Qingqing girl, everyone complains about their unsatisfactory situation, but they don't know that the life you live is exactly what others envy the most, you envy others, and others are the same. ”
Xu Qingqing was stunned for a moment, as if she was puzzled, and Xu Nianchun on the side glanced at Wen Xian'an with complicated eyes, for a long time, pulled her throat, and said softly: "Xian'an's words are to let you live your life well." ”
Wen Xian'an squinted at Xu Nianchun, and the two looked at each other and smiled, silent for a long time.
After lunch, Wen Xian'an supported the table with one hand and his jaw with the other, playing with the tea in the cup from time to time, writing and drawing on the table at will.
Xu Qingqing clapped his hands, and saw an old man about forty years old, carrying a medium-sized cloth bag, appeared at the door of the box, with a charitable face and a shallow beard at the corner of his mouth.
Wen Xian'an was puzzled, and before he could speak, he heard Xu Qingqing introduce: "This is the most famous storyteller in the capital, and the story he tells is a must, so I invite him to help everyone today." ”
Mr. Storyteller? It sounds a little strange at first.
In the last life, my father was strict in discipline, and there were restrictions on going out of the house on weekdays, except for studying the women's scriptures in the house all day, there was nothing else, these things that the official lady liked to see, she was stunned and didn't see any of them, but today she can see for a long time.
Xu Nianchun on the side also became interested, after all, she had not heard much of this storytelling, so she could only say that she never got tired of listening to it and was very interested.
Seeing the storyteller, he bowed slightly, and then took out a folding fan from the cloth bag he was carrying, which contained many scrolls.
cleared his throat, shook the folding fan in his hand, opened the side, and said slowly: "In the year of Wuhai, the Hu family has a girl who is sixteen years old, long and smart, like a fairy, three years old to learn calligraphy, five years old to learn the qin, this qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are all fine, how can I expect to be a mere girl, my father does not hurt, my mother does not love, there are sisters and brothers who suppress her, and there are servants who bully her, and the situation is bumpy......"
Wen Xian'an rubbed her ears, her eyes glanced at Xu Nianchun on the side, only to see that she could listen attentively, and she didn't even respond to a few calls, in desperation, Wen Xian'an moved her body lightly and poked Xu Nianchun with her elbow.
Xu Nianchun came back to his senses and looked at Wen Xian'an on the side, as if he was puzzled, and asked with a frown, "What's the matter?" ”
Looking around, Wen Xian'an lowered his voice and asked, "This is the truth." ”
"Poof-" Xu Nianchun covered his mouth and smiled softly, his eyes were crooked, his eyes were blinked, and he said softly: "Of course, the content of this story is fictional, and we, the people who listen to the book, are just trying to have fun, everyone listens to it interestingly, and they don't care whether the matter is true or not." ”
Nodding as if he didn't understand, Wen Xian'an pulled back his body, sat down steadily, and only saw it for a while, and the painting style of this story turned off, and he was in the fog for a while, and he really couldn't figure it out.
Wen Xian'an frowned, felt a headache for a while, simply closed her eyes and dozed off.
The two listened attentively, but they didn't pay attention to Wen Xian'an's actions.
"Slap" The storyteller slapped his hands, Wen Xian was shocked, half-squinted, looked sleepy-eyed, reached out to pick up the tea on the table, pursed the corners of his mouth, took a sip of tea, and instantly sobered up a lot.
Cheering up, Wen Xian'an supported his face with one hand and pricked up his ears to listen carefully to the content of the book.
The storyteller's expression was both used and his facial expressions were rich, which caused Xu Nianchun and Xu Qingqing to let out a burst of chuckles from time to time.
He gently closed the fan, held it lightly with both hands, bent down slightly, and then said: "That's the end of today's book review, I hope the three girls have fun." ”
Xu Qingqing clapped her hands, moved the corners of her mouth, and slowly spit out a few words,
"It's wonderful, it's wonderful, it's amazing, and it deserves to be rewarded."
Then he took out a silver ingot, put it on the table, the storyteller nodded, took the silver from the table, and said respectfully, "Thank you, young lady, for the reward." ”
Wen Xian'an frowned, rubbed his slightly stiff neck, only felt a little bored in this box, slowly got up, Xu Nianchun on the side asked worriedly: "Xian'an, but what's the discomfort?" ”
Wen Xian'an shook his head and said with a soft smile: "It's okay, I just feel that the box is a little boring, and I'm going to go to the table outside." ”
Xu Nianchun sighed, stroked his sleeves, and then got up, saying, "Since that's the case, it's better for the three of us to go out for a walk." ”
Although Xu Qingqing did not speak, he got up without hesitation.
The three of them bypassed the screen, lifted the curtain, and walked out.
The sky outside is getting late, the sky in the distance is red like fire, a large area of Caixia is shining red, even the river is also shining with golden light, a breeze blows, and the hair dances gently, stained with the color of Caixia.
Wen Xian'an put his hands on the railing, half of his body leaned out of the water, and he could clearly see that the fish in the water were swimming around the boat, the scales on his body were shining, and the tail of the fish was gently swaying, rippling blue waves, rippling with little ripples, and blurring the water surface.
"Ah" The hull of the ship shook slightly, Wen Xian'an's face turned pale, he lost his blood color in an instant, his body was unstable, and he kept shaking with the hull, and subconsciously exclaimed.
Seeing this, Xu Nianchun on the side stretched out his arm and grabbed Wen Xian'an's arm tightly, the boat shook slightly a few times, and gradually stopped, Xu Nianchun asked worriedly: "Nianxian, is it hurt?" ”
patted his chest with palpitations, Wen Xian'an shook his head, his face gradually regained his blood color, his voice trembled slightly, and said, "It's okay, it's just that how could this boat suddenly shake?" ”
Xu Qingqing, who was on the side, walked over unhurriedly, staring at the water surface thoughtfully.
