Chapter 17: The Eve of the General Assembly
Mrs. Xu took Mingxiang and walked away a few steps, and suddenly turned around. Breaking into the door, he hurriedly slapped his palms, only to see a black shadow flashing, the four palms intersected, and the electric light and flint rubbed their palms, and they were all stirred by the opponent's internal force and retreated. The man in black didn't fight, a strange reckless tossing and turning, wanting to jump out of the window and escape. Mingxiang took advantage of the situation and blocked the window and said: "Where is the thief, dare to break into Kuangle Villa at night?" ”
The black-clothed man approached Ming Xiang in a claw shape, but he didn't expect that the seemingly weak Ming Xiang would also do martial arts, and the "Easy Three Styles" set up claw skills and fought with them. Mrs. Xu's wrist flipped lightly, and a row of stools and chairs swept towards the man in black. Mingxiang retreated to guard the window door, and the man in black couldn't avoid it, so he helplessly sprinkled a handful of white powder. After all, Ming Xiang lacked experience in the rivers and lakes, so she was easily hit, only to feel dizzy and powerless to attack. The man in black was empty, showed off his leg skills, kicked over the stools and chairs one by one, grabbed Mingxiang as a meat shield with lightning speed, sent it into Mrs. Xu's arms with one palm, and escaped by jumping out of the window.
When Fu Liu heard the movement, it was late, Mrs. Xu held the tea steady and checked it carefully, fortunately it was not poison. "Whisk the willows, immediately block the villa, and catch the thieves all night." Kuangle Villa is well-trained on weekdays, and the personnel in the village are assembled and the study is the center of the spread search.
Mrs. Xu kept pinching the fragrance of the people, shouted softly, and saw her eyelashes fluttering, and then her heart hung down. "Auntie, what about the thief?" The first thing I did when I woke up was thinking about the thief. "Don't worry, I've sealed off the villa, and I will definitely ask her to come and get out." Ming Xiang didn't quite understand Mrs. Xu's words, and asked, "My Kuangle Villa is heavily guarded, how did the thieves get in?" ”
"Isn't that clear? The village is full of treasures, and there is also a treasure hunter. Hearing that it was Su Qianqian, Mingxiang immediately didn't feel dizzy, she just wanted to catch the thief, after all, this woman and Shi Jingchen were too close, she just didn't like it.
Fu Liu led the disciples of the mountain villa all the way to the outside of the wing where Shi Jingchen and they lived, and the torches lit up half of the sky. Gu Jiantang was the first to go out when he heard the movement, and such a big battle seemed to have something wrong. Shi Jingchen yawned and stretched lazily to push open the door, and said in pieces: "It's noisy, what's wrong?" Seeing this scene instantly petrified, an ominous premonition arose. Ming Xiang and Mrs. Xu also arrived, and before they could ask the reason, Ming Xiang couldn't help but break into Su Qianqian's room with two disciples. The firelight filled half of the room from the outside in, and a few screams were heard, and the two disciples flew out of the door. Su Qianqian was wrapped in a curtain, barefoot, her thighs looming, and she grabbed Mingxiang's neck with one hand and walked out slowly. The two men were confused, what happened?
Seeing Mrs. Xu, Qianqian slapped Mingxiang over and asked, "Mrs. Xu, what is the important thing that you have to break into someone else's house in the middle of the night?" Or is this the hospitality of Kuangle Hills? "Seeing Su Qianqian's appearance at the moment, Mrs. Xu was speechless, her speed of coming back was so fast." Presumptuous, how do you speak? I ask you, where did you go just now? "Mingxiang has lost the gentleness of the day, and she looks like a shrew.
"Presumptuous? Kuangle Villa is all about this upbringing? Although I am not a daughter, I also know the importance of honor. You can't help but say that you broke into my house and brought two men in. Bad self-reputation, is it too ridiculous to be so justifiable? I respect your hundred-year-old family of Kuangle Villa, and I ask myself if I have ever offended. Mrs. Xu, please give an explanation. "Su Qianqian is very angry. Gu Jiantang was really embarrassed when he saw that her legs were exposed, so he took off his robe, handed it over, and motioned for her to cover it.
Mrs. Xu's face was still serious, and she smiled, and explained: "Miss Su, don't be surprised, this is indeed something that Mingxiang did wrong. It's just because there are thieves in the village today, and the thieves flee in this direction. Gu Gongzi and Zhuang Gongzi went out one after another, and you didn't move for a long time, worrying about your safety. Mingxiang, apologize to Miss Su. Tomorrow, you don't have to go out, meditate on yourself, practice your piano skills, and prepare for the Guangling Conference the day after tomorrow. "Yes, Mingxiang knows that she is wrong." She was just a blessing, and she didn't know who she was talking to, and then she left haughtily.
"It seems to be a misunderstanding. Mrs. Xu, the thief has not been caught yet, be careful tonight, you may have to work hard to protect me from Mr. Liu's night patrol. Shi Jingchen smiled to ease the embarrassment. Fu Liu said coldly: "It's a matter of duty! Su Qianqian dropped a cold snort and went back to the room. The disciples of the villa also dispersed one after another, Shi Jingchen and Gu Jiantang glanced at each other, things were not simple. They clearly believed that Su Qianqian was a thief and came to arrest people.
There were no torches, and the moon was obscured by dark clouds. Darkness covered the land, and there was nothing to do but sleep. Anything can only be discussed tomorrow.
The night passed, the day returned, and nothing seemed to happen in the Zhuangzi, continuing the usual rhythm of life. Su Qianqian went out, and Shi and Gu were already sitting in the courtyard, seemingly waiting for her to explain. Qianqian thanked Jiantang for his robe, and returned it well. "You don't have anything else to tell us?" Shi Jingchen was the first to ask.
Su Qianqian sighed and said, "I almost overturned!" Originally, I thought, Mrs. Xu is my employer, will the other half of Sang Nuanyu also be with her? I searched for it secretly, but I didn't expect to be discovered. However, Mrs. Xu recognized me, and she must have been afraid that I would poke her affairs out, so the thieves were the first to suspect me. Why didn't I think of it at the time? Shi Jingchen squinted at Su Qianqian, this girl is not simple, she will know that she is divided into two pieces with Sang Nuanyu.
"You're stealing, and you're already wrong to have this heart. Don't leave anything to chance, we won't report you this time, but you can do it yourself, don't do it again. Gu Jiantang always looked righteous and awe-inspiring, but this time Su Qianqian didn't dare to reply, and it was a blessing that she was not scolded.
Another day of suffering passed, and the world-renowned Guangling Conference came as scheduled. Kuangle Villa maintains the usual simple style, but a wooden platform was built in front of the lotus pond in the outer courtyard, and two rows of pear blossom wooden tables for drinking tea were placed. The courtyard is big enough, and the central open space is big enough for more than a dozen people to play at the same time.
"Madame, Madame, Madame, something is not good!" The janitor ran into the inner hall in a panic, and when he crossed the threshold, he accidentally tripped and fell, and fell in front of his wife. "Bastard, what kind of system has it become? There are no rules at all! "Fu Liu scolded majestically, after all, there are outsiders present, and it makes people see the joke," said! The little maid got the order, and then he trembled and said: "Mrs. Yu, Steward Liu, there is a Dao aunt outside......
"Aunt Dao?" Mrs. Xu panicked, and the tea cup in her hand shook off several cases, so frightened that the little girl didn't dare to say any more. Another faux pas, or Mrs., Fu Liu calmed down and said: "After saying it all at once, what kind of Dao aunt?" "Aunt Dao may not be the one." This, this ......" for a while, the little guy didn't know how to describe it, the combination was quite weird, and he could only speak by impression, "In addition to a Dao Gu, there is also a fairy Gu and a village girl." Shi Jingchen had not taken a sip of tea before he could eat, and he almost gushed, he had a bold guess.
"Little bastard, what nonsense?" A certain village girl came by herself without being summoned, staring at the little guy viciously, it was really a dog who couldn't spit out ivory in his mouth, and he was so frightened that the little guy couldn't move. Sure enough, they are three old acquaintances, and the image is appropriate. Su Qianqian was just about to release her enthusiastic hug, but when she received Lang Yuan's eye signal, she immediately stopped moving. The sound of "sigh" began to be brushed, and all the disciples drew their swords and pointed directly at the comer.
The three of Lang Yuan had an argument with the little guy at the door, so they didn't let them in, and they originally wanted to admit their relatives to Gu Jiantang, but they didn't want to do it at all, so they wanted to change their tricks. There have been disciples who have come to report, and many people outside the door have been pointed, and the three of Langyuan are naturally the troublemakers. Lang Yuan still wears heavy makeup today, and has a soft spot for green clothes, but she is nondescript and wears a floral apron around her waist, plus hemp braids and three black hairpins that never leave her head, isn't she a village girl? completely lost the immortal spirit of the grass shed at the beginning, and some were just grounded, Shi Jingchen almost fainted without laughing.
Seeing that the person who came was not the one she thought in her heart, Mrs. Xu breathed a sigh of relief. With a look, the disciples withdrew their long swords and stepped forward to ask, "What are the so-called things that have come to my Kuangle Mountain Villa?" The trio in front of me is really incomprehensible, Dao Gu is carrying a big box, and the fairy Gu is masked, but her temperament is visible, and she is different from mortals. As for the village girl, it's not worth mentioning.
"Joke, today Kuangle Villa held the Guangling Conference, we are naturally here to have a show and see the world." Lang Yuan put on a look that was more careless than Shi Jingchen, and it was even more ridiculous with this outfit. "Ma'am, they don't have an invitation." The little guy said a word, and quickly fled behind Fu Liu, who looked like he had seen a monster that would eat people.
"Don't you understand the visitor? Kuangle Villa is known as inviting famous people from all over the world to attend the meeting, and the little girl knows a little about the piano, so she naturally wants to show off! Everyone can see that Lang Yuan is here to dismantle the stage, and a good music appreciation meeting has become what she calls a showmanship. Su Qianqian's heart was slowly dredged with a sullen breath, and sure enough, only Lang Yuan won her heart, and the two stinky men were always wrong and wrong.
Even if he came to perform his skills, he didn't see Lang Yuan with the piano. How can a village girl get a good piano? Mrs. Xu was about to argue when she heard the little guy shouting: "Miss Yanhao of Xianwu Villa, Prince Yucheng has arrived!" Hearing that someone was coming, Mrs. Xu immediately changed her gentle face and stepped forward to greet her. Mrs. Xu! "The man walked first." Yucheng Gongzi and Miss Yanhao, you are here. Great work, hard work! ”
Seeing this kind of pretended affectionate scene, Lang Yuan couldn't help but roll his eyes, and also changed his face: "It turns out that you are Mrs. Xu?" I have admired the daimyo for a long time. Just rude! I thought Mrs. Xu was a, why couldn't I imagine being so young? How many are you? Lang Yuan suddenly became polite, and politely clenched her fists, changing her normal, everyone who knew her knew that there must be a conspiracy.
"I'm just a woman, what is there to admire the girl?" Mrs. Xu only said that Lang Yuan wanted to stay so she did this soft move, as long as it didn't affect today's Guangling Conference, it didn't hurt to have a few more of them. Su Qianqian was looking forward to Langyuan's words.
"Madame is modest, the outside world is saying that you are the number one pianist in the world, and listening to you play a song is like fairy music washing your ears!" Hearing such praise, Mrs. Xu's smile was even stronger and won unanimous praise, but Lang Yuan's next sentence almost wanted people to cut people with kitchen knives, "This is much more elegant than listening to music in a tavern." Mrs. Xu's smile froze, and she actually compared her to the tavern singer, isn't this a deliberate attempt to humiliate her? Before Mrs. Xu could make a move, Lang Yuan pretended to say again: "Look at my stinky mouth, my mouth is not covered, how can I make this kind of rumors in the rivers and lakes so stubborn?" ”
"The village girl is the village girl, and this kind of unspeakable remarks are still meaningful! It's better to leave quickly, so as not to lose all the face of the whole rivers and lakes. Yucheng's face was full of disgust, and he looked at Lang Yuan with disdain, feeling good about himself, but he didn't know that the sister next to him was also full of disdain for this big brother, which was really an interesting brother and sister.
Lang Yuan didn't have a good word in his mouth: "I've heard the rumors in the rivers and lakes, even if I hear it, even more exaggerated, do you know how people outside say it?" They said that they did not receive an invitation, so they had to squat on the wall outside the villa to prepare a plate of peanuts and a pot of good wine. If you can smell a trace of Mrs. Xu's residual voice, you will be satisfied, and you will be happy. If Kuangle Villa really can't accommodate us, then we can only follow suit. Lang Yuan's depiction is colorful, and Mrs. Xu, who is so sneering and sarcastic, has crooked eyebrows but has to maintain a gentle image. Su Qianqian was very cooperative with a "poof" smile, which really didn't hold back.
"What qualifications does a village girl have to participate? What grade is the Guangling Conference, why don't you have points? "Yucheng is hard-hearted and can't get along with Langyuan, a village girl, is it so unpleasant? This time, Lang Yuan spoke excessively, I thought that she would be dissuaded by love and no regrets, but I didn't expect her to have a disdainful face on the same face, isn't it that she has a grudge against Kuangle Villa?
"My brother is narrow-minded, and this girl came to Kuangle Villa with enthusiasm, and she must have unknown skills. Besides, Kuangle Villa has always been hospitable, and the host didn't speak, so you spoke energetically. Mrs. Xu's holding of the Guangling Conference was to invite the world's musicians to learn from each other, exchange and learn, what does it have to do with the status of others? "The hazy words can be regarded as building a step for both sides, and the conference is about to begin, so why bother with complications.
"It is worthy of the misty and rainy outer building, and the snow is blowing the mountains and the mountains outside the mountains, and the view is really extraordinary." Lang Yuan had heard the name of Yan Hazy a long time ago, she was a mystery, but she was famous but never revealed. The style of acting always exudes a hazy feeling, and has always been admired by martial arts men. It's her brother, who has more than enough success and more failures, and I'm afraid that this time he also borrowed his sister's name to be eligible to go to the Guangling Conference.
How could it be the village girl who could tell the name of the smoke, I am afraid that everyone has eyes and does not know Mount Tai. Yan Hazy begged: "Dare to ask the girl's name? "Little Lady Lang Yuan." Lang Yuan said lightly, no one should recognize her. Unexpectedly, Yan Hazy was surprised: "It turned out to be the proprietress of Langyuan, and she has admired her name for a long time!" ”
Lang Yuanqi said: "Do you know me? "To be honest, everyone present, including Shi Jingchen, has never heard of this name before. Yan Hazy smiled: "Naturally I recognize." The proprietress of Langyuan protects the safety of the people, whether it is decent or demonic, she will give you a little thin noodles, and she is really a heroine among women. This is very high, Lang Yuan asked herself what she had seen in her life, except for her fourth father's nonsense, no one could praise people so naturally.
Yan Hazy knew everything, but Mrs. Xu was confused and didn't know this person at all. Maybe it's really lonely and unheard, but how can you get along in this situation? "Qingcheng sent Mr. Shu Lianzi here!" The pick-up guy outside the door shouted again, which was regarded as saving the scene. "Mr. Three came from afar, and he missed the distance!" Mrs. Xu greeted her warmly.
