There is a three-legged green jade tripod on the incense table, but unfortunately the spices in it have been burned. The incense tray next to it was empty, except for a pair of silver chopsticks.

Seeing that there were only incense embers left in the furnace, Wan Zhao asked, "Liudan, is there any loose incense left?" ”

Liu Dan still remembered what the old lady said, so he was cautious when he hit it, and served his master with twelve points of spirit. "There are also some incense pills, but they don't taste very good when burned."

"Don't worry, just have." Wan Zhao smiled.

Liu Dan trembled and burned incense, even if he could only imitate the actions of others to burn incense, he had to do it without flaws. When I put down the lid, my hands were shaking.

"Go and fetch the flute."

Liu Dan never knew that there was a flute hidden, "Girl, where is the flute?" ”

The flute hadn't been moved for a long time, and Wan Zhao didn't quite remember where it was. "Maybe it's in some box."

After hearing this, Liudan buried his head in looking for the box. didn't look at Wan Zhao at all, for fear of looking at her.

The box was found in the depths of the chest, "What about this?" ”

When I opened it, the bamboo flute was old, and it looked like something that had been handed down.

"Give." Liu Dan lowered his eyebrows and was suddenly silent.

Wan Zhao noticed her strangeness, "What's wrong with you?" is so dignified, but she has become a silent girl. ”

Liudan closed his mouth tightly and only suffered in vain.

She smiled: "Don't be what the old lady said that day, poking your heart?" ”

A subtle "Hmm" came out of Liudan's throat. ”

"Hey, all the wealthy families, which one is not a large number of people, and the mother-in-law and maid behind the girls follow. We are small, as long as nothing happens, we will be Amitabha. Wan Zhao explained for her.

She still couldn't rest assured, "But, old lady, she." ”

"My grandmother is old and has seen the big things. Jing Niang is not sensible, in case she listens to those Fengyue gossip, she really follows suit, and she is afraid of big things. Grandmother was also right to say a few words. Besides, there were outsiders at that time, and it was too inappropriate to tell those stories, and it was normal for the old lady to be dissatisfied. ”

Liu Dan gradually relieved his worries, "I know. ”

"Besides, you girl, what do you think every day. It's just a dream to marry a wishful husband, and you always instigate, do you want to be a matchmaker? Wan Zhao scratched her nose.

Her little face flushed, "I know that I was wrong, and I won't dare to do it again in the future." ”

"It's good to know." Wan Zhao smiled faintly.

"Girl, by the way, there are a few new girls in Shujing Temple. There are already eight maids in the courtyard, so there is no need to add more. ”

The area of Shujingyuan is not big, and the current maids are enough.

She smiled lightly, "Oh, I know. ”

When Liudan came, there were only six people in Shujingyuan, and there were only seven if you count Yun'er. She is the only one who takes care of the girl in the inner room, Yun'er and Qingyu are certainly outstanding, but neither of them likes to be in the limelight, only Liudan came forward to take care of things.

"I don't think there are so many people in Sookyeongin." Liudan whispered.

"You don't understand, that's not enough." Yun Zhao laughed at her stupidity, "You don't know, there used to be thirty or forty people who served me, but then the family was poor, so I found an excuse to dismiss them." I didn't expect that the one who left was loyal to me, but the one who came was negative to me. The girl dialed in the house, if she doesn't use it, she won't say anything, and she will even cause trouble. drove them away, and in addition to the maids who did rough work, Shujingyuan was Mother Jin. As he spoke, he stroked the jade-like bamboo flute.

The outer shelves are scattered, and the ills inside are naturally revealed. He paused for a moment.

When it comes to Jin Shi Niang, she will always be melancholy for a while. Liu Dan said in a low voice: "Don't be sad, girl. ”

"Nowadays, there are only 20 people in Shujingyuan, although it is not as good as before, but as long as the people are good, I can rest assured."

Liudan echoed: "The girl and I want to go together." ”

Yun Zhao wiped the flute with a silk scarf, "I haven't done a for a long time, and since that day, I haven't blown it again." ”

Outside, Xianglan was holding the bookcase, "Did the girl forget?" In February, you also said that you would practice the flute. ”

"Ah," she had forgotten that she had sat at the water pavilion every day and played a flute. "At that time."

The old lady was afraid that the person Mrs. gave would not be suitable, so she assigned Xianglan to take care of her, "Mrs. Tai also said that you played it well." ”

No matter how well it blows, there is no one who is willing to listen, which is also a kind of sadness.

Wan Zhao tried to blow a small song, and the sound of the flute was far away, as if it was muttering. The most taboo in the palace is to make a sad sound, and such a voice will only attract more resentment.

Liu Dan just wanted to admire, but his voice stopped.

"Don't blow it, such a sound is strange and uncomfortable to hear."

Xianglan guessed that she had something on her mind, so she went to tidy up the bookshelf without saying a word.

Liudan boasted: "The girl's flute is played very well. ”

Yun Zhao smiled and said nothing, she could no longer blow the beautiful flute sound.

In the past, the crown prince Zhao Rui loved Xiao's pipa, and he could hear the crisp and mellow sound of the pipa on nine out of ten days. Originally, she also loved, and her grandmother often played tunes for her when she was alive, whether it was slang songs to relieve boredom, or elegant music like spring and snow, she loved to listen to them. At that time, she did love the lute. But she didn't expect that she was sad and sick because of the misfortune at home, and there was no such good pipa language again.

Later, there was another Xiao family, which took advantage of the rain and dew, and kept her away from the pipa.

With it went away, Xiao.

The queen dislikes Xiao Guan, and whoever blows the flute in front of her displeases her. One day, she accidentally bumped into her while giving a, which immediately led her to sneer. She could only be trained in vain, and there was no other way than to accept it obediently.

As everyone knows, the flute in Yun Zhao's hand was the favorite object of Han Pei, the Duke of the Jin Kingdom, and he never showed it. Others may have heard of its origins, but very few have actually been lucky enough to see it once.

Liu Dan said a lot of things before, but she didn't hear a word until she said, "Girl, there are words engraved on this flute." At this point, she came back to her senses.

She said casually, "Ah, I don't understand the words on it." It's good that I can recognize three or five of the characters of the small seal. ”

"Alas, Sister Draw Dai is through this, why don't you go and ask her?"

She smiled and said, "Can she understand this?" ”

Those who can understand small seals should have read books.

"Perhaps, but I see that there are a lot of books in her suitcase. I don't recognize it, so I guess she understands that, too. Liudan guessed.

Wan Zhao smiled faintly, "What do you know?" This may not even be understood by Mr., can she understand? ”

When he said that, he already doubted it in his heart. It is true that she is literate in painting, and she also ghostwrote for her in her previous life. In terms of the consideration of the text, it seems that it has been taught by someone. is just a Tan Daogu, I'm afraid I can't teach such a clever girl.

"Maybe she taught herself? She's so smart, no one can fool her with a lie. ”

"Well, you value her."

Yun Zhao said perfunctorily. Busy reminiscing about her past life, maybe some memories were forgotten by her.
