Prequel Han Xuan

Yuechi recaptured the pipa, leaned on the railing, and gently plucked the second and third strings. The jade hand pressed the strings, and Linlang made a few sounds.

Ji Ying felt that this song was familiar, and then listened carefully, and felt that it had a unique charm, the strings were loud and clear. It is not like an ordinary servant who follows the rules, but is light and steady, and has his own style. This situation is like the melodious and ethereal of the birds flying high.

After listening to it for a while, he suddenly remembered the title of the song, which was the "Yang Chun" and "White Snow" he had just talked about, he had heard it a few times, but he didn't understand the rhythm since he was a child, and no matter how much he listened, it would be in vain. At that time, the servant in the banquet played not hot, which was exactly what the audience wanted, but it alone made him feel bland, Ji Ying couldn't sit still after staying for a while, and found an excuse to run. But today is different, in the ancient temples in the wilderness, you can also be fortunate to hear such a comfortable music. Ji Ying felt a little relaxed, and the corners of her eyebrows stretched a little. This place is far away from the smoke and clouds of officialdom, especially quiet, he wants to linger in the spring for a long time,

There was a little kindness on her face, and there was a smile like Gao Yang on the corner of her mouth. The powder face contains spring, and the flower face and moon appearance are more outstanding than the graceful and dignified lady for a while. Although it is vulgar, it is also quite moving.

Say goodbye to the cold of winter and usher in spring. Even if the snow remains, it can't change the scene of late melting. The sound of the song took him away from the cold silence of autumn and brought him to the revival of the spring field. He thought to himself: This girl has some real ability, and those stubbornness just now have been written off.

The song of "Yang Chun" faded away in the quiet string sound, and the mountain wind followed it, listening with bated breath for a while.

Zhu Yu Lingling, two or three plucked the strings in an instant.

That's "White Snow", clear and cold, like falling jade. The snow that has faded from the cold of autumn and winter is about to moisten the earth. The string sound flows, quiet and wonderful, like still water flowing deep, and the abyss is mountainous. He muttered for a long time, which should only be described as "quiet and far-reaching".

Snow-capped, sunny and clear. It's just a slight overtone, like the dew of late autumn mixed with an indescribable gloom. Ji Ying pondered abruptly, not knowing why.

After finishing the song, she took the pipa and shook her hand in front of Ji Ying's eyes. smiled: "Look at you lost your mind, as if you are deeply trapped in a tune." ”

"You girl, I just wanted to praise you for being a little more elegant, but as soon as you open your mouth, you will change completely, which is really unappetizing." Ji Ying chuckled.

Yuechi sighed while tightening the strap of his suitcase: "Ah, I saw a nerd, and the song ran out of the clouds when he listened and listened. The soul was out of the body, as if he was going to cultivate immortals, and asked. ”

Ji Ying's mouth was sour, "I'm a nerd, but I can also understand the sound outside the strings." The front played so skillfully and smoothly, but in the end it froze. What, what's on your mind? ”

Yuechi was poked in the center, and his face changed in an instant, "Why did you suddenly say that?" ”

Ji Ying knew that she deliberately avoided it, so she didn't force it. "It's okay not to say it, but there will be time to talk about it slowly in the future." He yawned a few times, "It's all time, let's rest early." ”

In the same place, he went to the wing room, leaving Yuechi to look at his back blankly in the same place.

The next day, when the sky was about to dawn, Yuechi got up early to walk around the courtyard, but saw Ji Ying kneeling in the main hall. She thought he was worshipping the Buddha, so she leaned over to take a look, only to see him kneeling and falling asleep with his head bowed.

Yuechi was so angry at the thought of being humiliated by him yesterday. I was going to hit him on the head a few times, but just as he was about to reach out and hit him, he instantly opened his eyes. smiled and said, "Morning, girl, you didn't say where you were going last night." ”

"I don't know." She said. "How do you know I'm here?"

"Your footsteps are too heavy, I'm listening carefully here."

Yuechi pushed him, "You should be hit hard in the mouth." ”

"It's just a matter of talking, I don't remember the villain's mistakes, it's all over." Ji Ying stretched lazily, "Oh, Huixiu made noodles, let's go." "Pull Yuechi's sleeve and go out to find the monk.

Rummaging through the entire temple, there was no trace of the young monk, only two bowls of hot noodles. Ji Ying simply sat down and ate noodles, "Maybe he ran to the mountains again, since he beat the old monk Yunyou, I saw that he always went around the mountains." ”

Yuechi tasted a few bites, "Well, his craftsmanship is good. ”

"I haven't been back for a few hours, alas, hurry up and find Hye-so." He swallowed the last bit of soup, "I don't want him to live in another cave." He put down his chopsticks, "Remember to pack your things." ”

Out of the temple, it's a different scene. The green hills are shrouded in mist, walking on the path, looking up, the sunlight flows from the branches and leaves, like moonlight. Looking down, the path is paved with branches and leaves, and passers-by step on it. The beauty of the mountains and wilderness, lush and beautiful. Seeing his thin back, Ji Ying sighed, "You wait here for a while, I'll go say goodbye to him." ”

Further on, the grass blocked the way, he pushed aside the grass, and the moon pool saw a touch of blue, as if there was water.

Monk Huixiu closed his eyes and held a bamboo pole in his hand. The lake is clear, the wind blows, and the water surface shows blue marks.

Ji Ying smiled and whispered, "You don't have to think about it to know that you are fishing here." ”

Hye-so "shhh He closed his eyes again and concentrated on fishing.

Ji Ying sighed and squatted next to him waiting for him to catch a fish. When the mist rose in the mountains, I saw the rod shaking. The monk exclaimed, "It seems to be a big fish." He immediately retracted the line and pulled the fish up with all his might. The fish broke free of the hook and jumped straight on Ji Ying. He caught it, but the fish was still struggling in his arms. He smiled dumbly, "This fish costs more than six catties, and the reason for casting a long line to catch a big fish is really right." ”

"Aren't you fishing the same way? In my opinion, you're not just here to visit me. Hye-su puts the fish back in the water.

"Of course, it's not just about revisiting." He took out a silk handkerchief to wipe his hands clean, "There are still a lot of troubles for me to deal with." ”

Huixiu said: "Last night's song "Yang Chun" and "White Snow", the sound of exquisiteness, but unfortunately the noise at the end of the song disturbed the whole song. He also said solemnly: "If you are cautious until the end, you will not be defeated." Donors should do it themselves. ”

Ji Ying couldn't help but feel melancholy, "Try your best." ”

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and he smiled: "It seems that the girl can't sit still." The monk was silent, put away his things, and got up to pat the ashes on his body.

"You've been talking for a long time." Tsukichi complained.

"It didn't take long for me to wait for him to catch a decent fish, and finally a fish was hooked, who would have thought that he would let it go." He quipped.

Yuechi was speechless for a while, and Huixiu said: "The poor monk is saying goodbye to the donor, so it is a long time late. ”

Ji Ying explained: "I became friends with him when I was young, just because he also had to leave the monastery, so I repaired books to meet. In the future, there is no certainty in gathering and scattering, and I don't know when I will see it. ”

"You don't have anything else to say?" Ji Ying frowned.

Huixiu looked up at the top of the forest treasure, shook her head and said, "Today's farewell, we will meet again, and the poor monk will leave." Two donors, please stay. Ji Ying stood with her hands in her hands and did not keep it. The monk smiled quietly and left.

Yuechi was dazed, "He's gone, what should the temple do?"

Ji Ying didn't care, "In the future, there will be a monk to take over, so don't worry about no one in the temple." ”

"Huh?" Moon Pool is even more confused. While she was confused, Ji Ying walked forward leisurely.

"Where are you going?" She asked.

Unexpectedly, Ji Ying pulled her onto the official road, "Seeing that you have not decided, it is better to go to Chizhou with me." He pointed ahead, "It should be a dozen miles further to Chizhou." ”

Her face turned white with a brush, and she excused herself: "No, no, I'll look elsewhere." ”

"Your face is not good, did you offend someone there?" Ji Ying said in one sentence.

"yes." She whispered.

He joked: "It won't be a tie with that Dong Guolao." ”

Her face worsened, "Please don't let that old immortal find me." ”

"Let's talk about what you have to do first, and then see if I want to help."

"The old man bought us servants, some of whom were given to the officials to be prostitutes, some of whom were ruined by his family, and some of whom stayed as women like me. I thought I could find a place to live, but I didn't expect that later I became my wife's maid, and I didn't benefit at all, and I was tortured in vain. Hates that I'm just a pipa girl in the music workshop, who is only looked down upon by others all her life, and who has to be used as a cow and a horse. The couple didn't have a good relationship, and they didn't care about me, phew, they weren't individuals. She said bitterly.

He threw the kettle to her, "Drink the water and dissipate the gas." Look, you're flushed with anger. ”

Yuechi took a few sips, "Did you bring dry food?" I am hungry. ”

"No, I didn't even bring a baggage, where did I get the dry food?" He said helplessly. "Didn't you just eat it? Hungry so soon. ”

Yuechi grimaced, "There is still so, so far to go, what can I do?" ”

"After walking a little further, there will be more people on the official road, and when the time comes, find a carriage to enter the city."

"Okay, that's it." She followed him, "In other words, why don't you hide your identity, don't ordinary officials like to pay private interviews and go deep into the people to observe the people's feelings?" Why are you different, show your name as soon as you meet. Tsukichi asked.

He said: "What is there to hide from the county officials? Relying on Lao Tzu to get the title is not tasteful. The only good thing is that it is called the founding county prince. ”

"Alas, I remember, why don't you have an entourage?"

Ji Ying glanced at her, "I thought that the family was all revolving around me, they were busy with business, but they didn't have time to come out to accompany me." ”

Yuechi laughed and said, "You're too aggrieved as a county magistrate. ”

"Hey, my entourage is in Chizhou City." He smiled, "Stretch your hand out." ”

She obediently reached out to see what moth he could make. Who knew that what he gave was a sugar cube, a few pieces of osmanthus candy, and it also exuded a faint fragrance.

"Taste it, it's osmanthus in the exclusive three autumns, that's why I like it."

She ate one piece, and it tasted so good that she ate a few more in a row. "You lie to people again, saying, 'Do you still have food on you?'

Ji Ying immediately jumped out of the distance, and Yuechi shouted angrily: "You stop for me." ”

"Yuechi girl, just talk and laugh, don't come to the real thing." The soles of his feet were windy, and there was no sign of slowing down.
