Chapter 51: Drinking at Night
Ying Zhichu stayed in the study alone, Sikong Yao was not in good health, and returned to the room to rest after drinking the medicine at noon.
She was alone, so she thought about it all afternoon.
She didn't steal the phoenix strings, and even offered to borrow the qin that night, but Qi Liangzheng didn't agree to lend it to her, why was Sikong Yao so sure that she could get the phoenix strings?
Could it be that the two of them knew each other before......
Sikong Family, Eagle Guard, Fu Scorpion, do the three of them really have some kind of ulterior relationship?
If what Mr. Mu said is true, is the assassin in Qingliu County two years ago directly aimed at Eagle Guard or even ......
She shuddered, "Is he really an enemy?" ”
The green onion jade fingers stroked the silk strings, pressing the fingertips with slight pain, and mocked softly, "Heh, if he knows that the Liang family is not dead, he must find a way to hunt me down." ”
"Pitiful, Sikong Yao only knew that he was deep and vengeful, and he didn't notice that my background might be a danger to the entire Sikong family."
She folded her fingers against her chin, raised her eyebrows slightly, and whispered, "Think about it, it's really dangerous, but what are you afraid of." ”
After a few moments, my fingers ran over the strings, but the tune changed.
Will enter the wine - the melody is brisk and undulating, like a green mountain waterfall, rolling in the wind and reverberating, and the spirit is high.
Nighttime –
Ying Zhichu returned to the house in the south of the city, and the ink pen was lit by the oil lamp, and the hairpin was written on the rice paper.
She was engrossed in writing, not noticing the sound of footsteps.
It wasn't until there was a soft knock on the door that she frowned and looked up, and the paper under her hand was instantly crumpled and thrown to the foot of the table.
She relieved herself, pretended nothing had happened, and got up to open the door.
The moonlight is bright, and the night breeze salutes into the room, and the face is handsome and extraordinary.
"Look!" He lifted the oiled paper bag in his hand, and his eyebrows were full of joy, "I've brought you something delicious!" ”
With that, he shoved four oiled paper packets into her hands, ignoring her disgusted frown.
Boldly walked inside, not at all outside.
The wine jug in his hand was placed on the table, and Shocking Dust shouted at the stunned figure, "Come and sit, what are you polite!" ”
"Is this roast chicken?" She leaned in and sniffed, confused.
"This is what I packed back from Jiuzhiwei, where's the wine glass?" He opened the cabinet and rummaged around, muttering, "Why can't you find it, you can come and look for it!" ”
Ying Zhichu put the food on the table, took out the handkerchief and carefully wiped the greasy fingers, the palm of the hand had a slight red mark, it should be burned.
She glanced at him, and reluctantly picked up the tea bowl, "Isn't this a tea bowl, you won't be able to do it!" ”
"I'm looking for you a wine glass, can you drink a bowl as big as a tea bowl?"
"I can!" Facing the man's surprised gaze, Ying Zhichu Shiran sat down, "But why should I drink?" ”
He closed the cupboard and sat down at her table, and asked her, "Why can you drink?" ”
"What, why?"
"Aren't you a young lady, why do you drink?"
“……”
"Could it be that Liang Shangshu really used you to envelop the court...... he stopped and didn't finish speaking.
The yellow halo of the oil lamp was faint, leaking into the moonlight through the window, reflecting the cold and moving face of her little face.
When she spoke again, she was already a little angry, "Who told you this?" ”
"I just...... I just think those people are talking nonsense! I'll just say, you can't even make a joke, how can you ...... I, count me as a gaffe! ”
He uncorked the wine, poured himself a full bowl first, and drank it all.
When the cold wine entered his throat, he felt that his face was a little hot, he looked at the woman's face, and said twice, "I, I'm dizzy with joy today, so I want to find someone to drink two glasses." ”
"Are you so bad that you don't even have a drinking buddy?"
The fingers untied the paper wrapping rope, and the laughter drifted softly into the ears.
"I had something happy to tell you, and I came here as soon as my mind was hot."
She didn't buy it, and the coolness was imprinted on her lips, "If you want to say, I want to listen?" ”
"Why do you talk like that?" Shocking Dust's eyebrows furrowed, and his heart was weird.
She tilted her head to look at him, met his puzzled gaze, and explained in a cold voice, "You can come at night, I want to listen to nonsense, are you brazen, or am I looking like a bully?" ”
In the past, she only treated him as childish and didn't want to care.
But today, the second half of his unspoken sentence, she knows it.
Because she had heard too much before....
Jingchen stared at her, suddenly got up and approached, and he was not annoyed by her disgusted gaze, but smiled and asked lightly, "Are you really angry?" I thought you were made by a sugar man, and you only frowned and pouted, but I didn't expect you to be so powerful! ”
She tilted her head slightly annoyed and glared at him, "Nosy, you're the one who did it." ”
"Don't be angry, I'm just curious about your little girl's family, how can you drink, I wanted to find you a small cup, accompany me, but I didn't expect hahahaha, you can have a good drink tonight!!"
He held the flask and poured a bowl for each of them.
"Don't be angry, I just want to tell you that the third brother is coming back soon, how is it, happy?" A trace of loss disappeared from the corner of his mouth, and he picked up the wine bowl and drank it all.
Ying Zhichu's face was full of surprise, and his anger dissipated slightly, "Fu Chase? He's coming back? ”
"Tsk, look at you, as soon as I mention him, you'll be fine immediately, have a drink with me first, and we'll talk about it!"
He poured a bowl and waited to clink glasses with her.
She frowned, held the bowl and touched him gently, and when she saw that he drank it without blinking his eyes, she sighed softly and drank it in small sips.
Shocking Dust looked at her in surprise, and couldn't help but admire, "Can you, are you dizzy or not?" ”
"It's just ordinary sake, and I've drunk anything stronger than this."
"You...... Why have you drunk spirits, Liang Shangshu is majestic and upright, and his family education is very strict, he won't allow you to drink, right? ”
"Naturally, I drank it secretly and didn't let him know." Her eyebrows and eyes were slightly curved, so she didn't say it thoroughly.
"Shouldn't you...... Have a secret tryst with Fu Chase, spend the moon before the moon, and push the cup to change the lamp? His tone was strange, and he suddenly felt a pain.
"Brother Fu Chai is coming back soon?" She ignored his joke and squinted at him.
Although he said that the amount of wine was good, but under the lights at night, Jingchen looked at her little face slightly red and shy, and he said awkwardly, "Yes, he escorted the princess and relatives who left the country, and he was on his way back to the capital at this time." ”
"It turns out that he left the capital for this matter."
She unwrapped the oiled paper bag, took out two pairs of clean chopsticks, handed them to him, and then took a small bite of food, not saying more.
"Is it delicious?" He let go of his loss and asked her with a smile.
She nodded, "It's delicious, I'm ...... I rarely eat outside food, and it's really different from what I eat at home. ”
"I ate all the delicious food, and no one grabbed it from you. But there's a second pleasure before you eat, you have to have another drink with me. ”
Her hand holding the chopsticks tightened slightly, and she subconsciously asked, "What's the matter?" ”
He poured wine for the two of them and said slowly, "I followed Qi Liangzheng a while ago, didn't you see it?" ”
"Yes, it's not good to kill someone, he, he's still alive."
"I didn't really mean to kill him." The corners of his lips furrowed, and his eyebrows and eyes were sloppy, "Just inform him, and he will know the purpose." ”
“……”
"Don't worry, in less than a month, Qi Liangzheng will be in trouble."
The lotus root slices in her mouth were slightly bitter, she rinsed her mouth with a sip of wine, the spicy spicy entered her throat, and her throat burned so much that she couldn't help but let out, "What trouble?" ”
Jingchen glanced at her and said happily: "Confidentiality, hahaha!" You'll know. ”
“……”
She forgot a little about how to finish this meal, but she remembered that her heart was not relieved because of this.
……
Ying Zhichu was in Sikong Mansion and practiced the piano for two days, and she was so obsessed with one thing that she didn't even notice it when she was hungry.
Roushui was cold and hot with the food, hot and cold, watching the young man forget the sound of the piano, he could only frown and sigh.
On the afternoon of September 17, Ying Weaving was really tired from practice, so he went to the courtyard to stretch his muscles and bones, and by the way, he changed his breath.
She twisted her waist and caught a glimpse of Roushui coming with a brocade box.
"Roushui, what are you taking?"
"Huh?" Rou Shui's face turned red, and she said slightly angrily: "You, you don't care so much about what you do, I just do what Miss tells me." ”
"Oh." She wasn't angry, she turned sideways slightly to let the soft water pass, wondering how she had offended this little girl.
Not long after Roushui entered the house with the brocade box in her arms, she walked to Ying Zhichu in broken steps.
She frowned at the boy, unable to open her mouth for a moment, just waiting for him to find out.
Ying Zhichu didn't notice her, flicked his arms, kicked his legs, jumped around and stepped on the shadow to play.
"You! Hmph~" Roushui looked at him inexplicably, and turned his back to her.
Ying Zhichu sighed lightly, turned around and asked, "Rou Shui, are you waiting for me?" ”
The little girl turned around in an instant, her face turned white and red, "Who is going to wait for you!" Don't talk nonsense, I'm my young lady looking for you! With that, he left the yard in a gust of wind.
"Is this girl not full at noon?" She felt that Roushui was hungry, so she went to the kitchen to find food in such a hurry.
With a chuckle, he walked straight to the study.
Sikong Yao sat next to the piano case, slanting on his face, like a yellow flower in late autumn, haggard and pitiful.
"What's the matter?" Ying Zhichu sat beside her, smoothing out the folds of his robe.
Sikong Yao raised her eyes, her eyes slightly gilded with gold, "Look at this piano, how about it?" ”
Ying Zhichu followed the voice and looked at it, and the piano case was indeed replaced by Zhang Qin.
The silver-white ear hangs down in the corner, the whole body is like a fair lady, and the strings are thin and bright like light.
A look of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she opened her mouth gently, "This is the phoenix string qin?" ”
