Volume 1 Where is the King of the Sword in the World Chapter 11 A song of Sauvignon Blanc
"Lanxi." Bai Xuan called the maid, "What's the recent movement from my mother?" ”
"Not yet." Lan Xi thought for a moment and remembered something, "A while ago, Bai Sheng brought the people from the Xihua Pavilion for questioning. Later, Madame didn't say anything. ”
"Hmm." Bai Xuan lowered his head to read the book and answered. He knew his mother, and when he took a strange woman there, how could his mother be indifferent, maybe she had already arranged for eyeliner to pay attention to his movements. Since my mother likes to inquire so much, she might as well let herself play again, so that she has no idea where to start.
In the evening, Bai Xuan wore a blue gold silk moire pattern horse coat and a brocade dress, and stepped into the lotus style elegance located in Connaught Square. It is in response to the name, the huge pool in the courtyard is full of lotus flowers, and a river lamp is placed, the light shadow between the lotus leaves floats, and the incense curls around the pool, just like a heavenly fairyland. At night, the kabuki play and sing around the lotus pond, the kabuki dance like a fairy, with silver bells tied to their ankles, and when they stretch and dance, they can only hear the crisp ringing of bells, like pearls falling on silver plates, and they make people's thoughts fly.
Hefeng Yaxu can be called the largest flower building in Xizhou, and Bai Xuan can enjoy singing and dancing when he comes here. As soon as he sat down, he was seen by the proprietress of the flower building, Shui Kite, "Bai Gongzi, you are really a rare guest, it is rare to look forward to you." This time you are in a hurry, and you can meet Miss Mu Hanshuang today. ”
"Thank you, Sister Kite, I'll come to see Miss Mu tonight."
"Okay, then it depends on Bai Gongzi's sincerity."
The water kite walked up to the stage with a smiling face, "Tonight, our Oiran Mu Hanshuang girl will perform a dance, and the highest bidder can drink a cup with Mu girl to enjoy the night." ”
As soon as the words fell, behind the light veil of the light veil, a graceful figure danced to the music, although the dancer's face could not be seen clearly, but the soft figure like a feather, waving the water sleeves like a flying goddess, directly taught a group of maiko to be colorless. At the end of the dance, the bidding voices in the audience have come and gone, and finally Bai Xuan has the highest price. "It is said that the frost girl is beautiful in the south of the Yangtze River, and she is captivating the country and the city, and even the prince of Baifu has come here." When everyone saw that it was the son of Baifu, they were all interested and silent.
Mu Hanshuang said behind the tent: "Bai Gongzi upstairs, please, I'll come in a moment." Under the envious eyes of the surroundings, Bai Xuan walked upstairs calmly.
Bai Xuan sat down in the room, and the maids immediately put on the food and drink, and after a while, Mu Hanshuang had already changed into a red brocade jacket and came in. Sure enough, she is worthy of being an Oiran, the woman in front of her is described as beautiful, her waist is like a willow, her skin is like jade, she walks swayingly, revealing the dignity of everyone's ladies, but she is not as frivolous as a woman in the dust. When the maid retreated, Hanshuang raised his glass and said, "Why does Bai Gongzi have to spend so much, just to see Xiaoxie." ”
Bai Xuan smiled, "Mother is afraid that I will be more distant from the outside world's women, I don't want her to know, I am not a pure-hearted person, so I don't have that idleness." ”
"It turned out to be a tongue to be used against me. That's too much to take me. Mu Hanshuang sprinkled Jiao, "If Xiaoxie is not mistaken, it is estimated that Gongzi did have contact with women from the outside world." ”
Bai Xuan smiled and said nothing.
"Childe is Xiaoxie's life-saving benefactor, serving Childe, as my duty. At the beginning, my father offended the traitorous ministers, and the whole house was connected, and Xiaoxie was used as an official prostitute. This grace of reinvention will be remembered in my heart. "It turned out that Mu Hanshuang's original name was Mu Xiaoxie, the Mu family was originally a loyal minister, but it was the end of the Zhulian of the Zhulian, the fate of the army of the army, Bai Xuan got the news through the Qingyun Division, bought the official mansion, rescued Mu Xiaoxie and arranged it in Hefeng Yaxu, and was taken care of by the water kite. Although he is committed to the Qinglou, Xiaoxie has not forgotten his father's legacy for a moment, and wants to avenge the family. She raised her glass to Bai Xuan and drank it all.
"Looking for you today, there is indeed something wrong." Bai Xuan looked at the teacup, "Can you help me find someone?" ”
"Who?"
"Zheng Guangliang, who once served as a garrison in Jiangning, was later taken in by Lin Yongqin as a guard because of the framing of his subordinates, and has been following Lin Yongqin's son Lin Siqi. Although he was lonely and arrogant, he was easy to offend people at the beginning, but he was a man with great skills, familiar with the art of war, and was a person with the world in mind. ”
"Oh, the Lin family, isn't it more appropriate for you to talk to the Lin family?" The frost brushed his sleeves and covered his mouth, and he couldn't help but smile.
"I regard Miss Xiaoxie as a confidant, you still don't know what I think?" Bai Xuan looked at the frost, "You and I both know how the Lin family has risen, and your father has not been spared from his hands." Although our two families have a friendship, Lin Siqi and I have a deep relationship. But I heard that he often comes to Yasu to look for you, which is quite interesting to you? ”
"That gentleman has come here a few times, and it has made this place unpeaceful, but I have my own way to deal with him." Mu Hanshuang lowered his eyebrows and looked at Bai Xuan's teacup, with a lot of charm between his eyebrows, "I have seen Zheng Guangliang a few times, and he never squeaked, Lin Siqi entered the house, and he kept standing at the door." How do you want me to help you? ”
"If you find a chance to support Zheng Guangliang, I will have a chance to get close to him."
"Good. Wait for my message. Hanshuang took a sip of tea, looked at Bai Xuan slightly, and thought, what kind of girl made Bai Xuan's heart move?
The hot summer weather is coming in a blink of an eye, and the rainy days in the south of the Yangtze River are rainy and sunny, and it is difficult to be sultry. Under the pressure of the heat, in the school, the children were not as excited as before, hiding under the big ginkgo tree, with their clothes open, lying lazily on the stone pier, and they didn't care about the dignified etiquette that Mr. said, just to be cool and comfortable. Shen Zhiqing also had no pastime, I don't know where to take some straw and weave grass grasshoppers. Of course, if she made one up, the kids would snatch one.
At noon that day, I didn't know where Bai Xuan went, Lan Xi and the girls sent some chilled sour plum soup and cold fruits, which made the children look at them in a daze. "You can still eat it chilled." They didn't care about drinking it, so they covered the outside of the jar of sour plum soup with their hands, and suddenly a chill penetrated to the bottom of their hearts, "It's so cool." The children even had to lean up, but Lan Xi stopped them, "Don't stick it, it's easy to get sick, and it's not easy to treat." ”
The girls picked up the spoon and gave each of them a bowl, and the children drank it all while holding the bowl, and suddenly felt that the whole person was cold, and they smashed their mouths. Since coming to the other garden, they have seen a lot of things that they can't usually see, and they have enjoyed treatment that even their parents have not experienced, Shen Zhiqing is only worried about spoiling this group of boys, and persuades Lanxi not to be polite, just to treat them like ordinary people. But Lan Xi stuffed back one by one "what the son explained", and blocked Shen Zhiqing speechless, she was afraid that one day the child's studies would end, so would they still be able to look at Qinghebang, where they originally lived.
As soon as the thought flashed, I saw a fisherman wearing coarse linen clothes and a fish basket tied around his waist appeared in front of him. ”
"Let's go fishing in the river." Bai Xuan crossed his waist with his hands on his face.
"Now?" Zhiqing raised her eyes and was stunned, there is nothing wrong with this Bai Xuan, but it is easy to think of one out of one. When the children heard the news, they immediately jumped up for joy again, as if they were celebrating a holiday. "Where to fish?"
"Just go to the largest river near your Qinghebang, I'm afraid you'll be embarrassed, so I called a carriage, and everyone rode over together."
Sure enough, the carriage at the door was already waiting, but fortunately, the carriage was big enough to fit Zhiqing and a few children, and Bai Xuan sat in the seat next to the coachman. After getting out of the car, a small boat was parked on the wharf, and these fishermen's children, who were very familiar with water, untied a small boat on the river port, boarded the boat, and carried the penny down the river.
Driving to the middle of the river, the dog baby looked into the water, "Look at the fish here." Erxi, bring the harpoon. A few children gathered around, "There are so many fish here." "Everyone picked up all kinds of guys and went to catch fish, and for a moment they scrambled, and the center of gravity of the boat was unstable and shook violently. Shen Zhiqing, who was sitting at the stern of the boat, didn't sit down for a while, and almost fell to the ground, Bai Xuan stepped forward to support her, "Miss Shen, be careful." Shen Zhiqing's water nature was good, but he was supported by Bai Xuan, but his feet were unbalanced, and he fell into his arms. A fresh fragrance rushed into her nose, and the fact that she was hugged in public was too embarrassing, but fortunately the children gathered at the bow of the boat to focus only on catching fish, and no one saw it. She hurriedly brushed aside Bai Xuan and tried to stand up, blushing. She saw the bracelet on her arm exposed when Bai Xuan helped her, "You have been wearing this?" ”
"Of course I have to be cautious about the token you sent." Bai Xuan smiled, even if it was a coarse linen cloth, his temperament was extraordinary.
"How can it be a token?" Zhiqing was shy again and muttered in a low voice.
Bai Xuan didn't hear clearly, "What did the girl say?" ”
"It's nothing, I want to see if the kids have caught a fish."
"I heard you're also a master fisherman." Bai Xuan had a joking tone, and leaned in and whispered, "Why don't you teach me?" ”
"Okay." Zhiqing put aside Bai Xuan, stood on the bow of the boat, picked up the penny, and squatted down, "Friends, let's start the boat." Zhiqing shouted and made a tune, and the children sang a fishing song along with it. The sun shines on the water, the golden light flashes, and the singing and laughter between the water and clouds are loud. Approaching a river beach, Shen Zhiqing rolled up his trouser legs and went into the water, picked up a harpoon, and in a few moments, he loaded a basket of fish. "Sister, you're too powerful." The children gathered around and looked at the bamboo basket and admired it.
Zhiqing raised her eyebrows at Bai Xuan and sent an invitation to challenge, "What, isn't Mr. going to learn too?" ”
"Okay." He turned his head and smiled, only to hear a plop, and he was already in the water. Bai Xuan is also very watery, and after tossing a few times in the water, it is empty. But the children didn't agree, how could they make Mr. make a fool of themselves, they came forward to help, caught the fish, caught the fish, loaded the fish, and it didn't take long to fill the bamboo basket.
Just when everyone was having fun, suddenly thunder roared, the weather in this rainy season is changing, just the sky is clear, and it has been pouring rain for a while.
"What should we do now, we can't go back." Everyone was drenched by the rain, and the children looked at the sky and were worried, this wind and rain were so strong that it would definitely not be possible to sail in the river.
"There's a ruined temple ahead, let's go hide." Zhiqing shouted everyone to run to the broken temple.
It was dark, but fortunately they found an unused fire fold in the ruined temple, and some dry firewood. Everyone lit firewood and dried their clothes. There is a woman here, Bai Xuan put everyone's wet clothes on a penny, and placed them horizontally in the middle, forming a curtain, "Miss Shen, I'll go to the door to guard, you can rest assured that you can bake the fire." So saying, he got up and gathered some firewood, went to the door, made a small fire, took out the fish from the basket, put it on a branch stand, and roasted it on the fire. Suddenly, the smell of grilled fish filled the room. "It smells so good." Everyone swallowed saliva when they saw that a child happened to have salt on his body, and sprinkled some on the fish, and a few sparks appeared, and there was a strong fragrance. "This is for your sister." Bai Xuan stuffed the freshly grilled fish to the dog. Although the dog baby was already drooling, she still endured to stuff the grilled fish and Shen Zhiqing through the curtain. She took the golden roasted fish, stole the curtain and looked at Bai Xuan, "Thank you." At this time, Bai Xuan was already surrounded by children, and everyone also got together to grill fish, sharing food while roasting, and laughter was endless in the square inch room. Bai Xuan couldn't remember how long it had been since he had been so happy, he had never imagined that he would live a dull life like a fisherman in the countryside with a group of children under his knees, fishing and burning fires, and if it was possible, he would really want to live like this for the rest of his life.
After a day of playing, the children lay down and fell asleep when they were full. Zhiqing was tired and hungry for a day, and felt that the grilled fish in his mouth was particularly fragrant and delicious, better than the delicious taste of the world, and leaned on the fire to gradually dispel the chill after the rain. Zhiqing suddenly felt much better, and there was a burst of music in her ears. She peeked through her clothes, Bai Xuan leaned against the door, pinched a bamboo leaf close to her lips, and her lips pinched the bamboo leaf and blew a small tune. He was shirtless, and his sturdy figure was in full view. The firewood beeped and burst into flames a few times, and the face was illuminated by the flames, outlining a handsome outline. Shen Zhiqing didn't feel a little fascinated, and only after the song was finished did she ease up, "What kind of song did Mr. blow just now?" ”
"Sauvignon Blanc." Bai Xuan looked back in the direction of Shen Zhiqing, and Zhiqing's eyes behind the curtain met his eyes, only to see that the tips of those peach blossom eyes were raised as if smiling, and the light and shadow reflected blurred eye waves in the pupils, and it was impossible to tell how many colors were mixed. "May this life win the hearts of one person, look like a white head, fish and wood farming in the prosperous era, and ride the horse to the end of the world in troubled times." Zhiqing didn't know whether Bai Xuan was talking about the meaning of the song, or if he had other intentions, but he could hear a ripple in his heart, if there was really a person who was not separated, then how could he care about the troubled times, even in this life and the next life. The wind chimes on the eaves jingled under the wind and rain, disturbing the thoughts of a room of people, and the sleeping teenagers didn't know what it was like to be sad, but Bai Xuan and Shen Zhiqing had their own thoughts, and no one knew how long this happy time would last.
