Chapter 57: Try your best, but you can't do it
I took out the brocade dress and played Scrabble in the box: "May it be as usual, lonely and beautiful, don't worry."
Well, it's intimate, comfortable as usual The four words simply speak to my heart, I understand it, this gift makes me smile, but Yun Jihan may be disappointed, I don't care about him.
But when it comes to birthdays, it's really coming, and I'm 14 years old. is a year old, or cardamom years, and the old melon pulp said that this can be had.
"Master!"
Qiu Shi entered the house, saw that I was still lying on the bed, shook his head, and said, "Xiu caught a pheasant, and the slave maid made soup for you?"
Catching chickens? I remembered the way he stared at me yesterday, probably because he felt guilty for not protecting me.
He doesn't have to, not at all.
I said, "Whatever you want, let's eat it together." Get busy, all of you! ”
I sent the two of them out, quietly rubbing the pearls, the mottled handwriting on them was like the palm prints of Yun Jihan's palms, one by one, until they were warm, and I put them away.
In Chengguo, after the age of fourteen, you can find a good match, a male matchmaker and a female concubine. I can't help but think of what Uncle Li said yesterday, what he said about not following fate, I have lived for a hundred years, where can I find such a good place? There won't be at all.
In the past few days, I went to Lu Ji every day, and on the pretext of asking him for music and art, Chunhua, Qiushi, and Qingluan all agreed that I was selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, and I was going to Uncle Li at night.
On this day, the three of us tasted tea in Master Yuan's courtyard, in fact, only Uncle Li and I were rubbing tea and drinking at night, and Lu Ji kept bowing his head and stroking the qin.
"Uncle Shi, you can't solve any problems like this."
I said, "If you don't tell us Wu Ma Yi's whereabouts, it's fine." What the hell did you take from other people's ghost caves, you always know that you will meet us, right? Look at how difficult it is for Master! In the past few days, you have blocked several waves of assassins in the Hundred Ghost Caves, if you don't have a master, can you still play the piano here leisurely? If you don't say anything, we'll leave you!" You can think about it, you don't know martial arts, it's inconvenient to walk, and third, if your neck is so hard, if you don't say it, I'm impatient! ”
I used both hard and soft, Lu Ji ignored me, I really wanted to take his piano away.
Uncle Li is not as anxious as me at night, he has been drinking tea, and it seems that he really came to the Zen Temple to drink tea.
I pulled Uncle Li's sleeve at night, annoyed by his calm appearance, and I said, "Master, you have something to say!"
Uncle Li curled his lips to hold back a smile, shook his head, and didn't speak.
"Humph!" I really don't understand him.
Lu Ji, this is not happy for you!
"Master, do you know the famous Yellow Sparrow?" I asked.
Uncle Li nodded, rubbed the teacup with one hand, and said, "I've heard a little."
"The Qingluan in my palace is the sister of this yellow bird. I heard many interesting stories from her. Tell the master about it, okay? I shook the corner of Uncle Li's sleeve and thought, Master cooperate with the apprentice, okay? Good.
"Good!"
Uncle Li cast a helpless expression at me, and let me pull out a fold in the sleeve of his moon-white shirt, and he said, "Tell me!" Listen to the teacher. ”
"I heard Qingluan say that when Miss Huang Que won the first general election, she was stunned by her original dancing skills, and she was only fifteen years old at the time. Some people say that if that dance was not accompanied by musician Lu Ji's piano music, her dance would not be incomparable. Some people even say that Huang Queer and Lu Ji are hard-to-find bosom friends. Huang Que'er danced and captivated the city to achieve Lu Ji, and Lu Ji's elegant rhyme and piano sound also fulfilled Huang Que'er. ”
When I told the story, my eyes were staring at Lu Ji, and his piano was like a cloud rising and flying like snow, as melodious and agile as in the past, so I continued: "It's a pity that the face is thin!" The most dancing woman in the market died, and a heavy snow was cold to the bone, and Lu Ji disappeared from then on. I heard that the woman died a very tragic death......"
I stopped, wanting to see Lu Ji's reaction, he finally stopped the piano in his hand, looked up at me, and the lonely eyes that had nothing to do with him were gone, full of confusion and complaints.
I don't want to rehash the old things, but I don't want to sit here every day and drink tea and listen to the piano, and then do useless work.
"I heard that Huang Que'er was persecuted and died by the son of the commander, and when he was about to die, he would suffer from cramps and bone pain. The son of the commander of the capital, but your friend of Lu Ji, right? ”
Every word I uttered, I was using a knife to open my own wounds, the pain of wanting to bite my tongue and kill myself but couldn't, now that I think about it, the hairs will still stand up, but if I don't use this to stimulate Lu Ji, he will take what he knows into the grave.
"People related to you, why are they so miserable!" I deliberately said, "Does it have nothing to do with you?" ”
Lu Ji finally got up and walked towards me, he looked down at me, his eyes were foggy, and he asked, "How does Her Royal Highness know this?"
"Naturally, Qingluan told me!"
Lu Ji was still staring at me, and I knew that there were some details that he might not necessarily tell Qingluan, but it didn't matter.
I sneered: "Huang Que'er is also a woman who is famous in the country, and her death is a sensation, not to mention, there is no impermeable wall in the world."
"Uncle Shi, my nephew has also heard about this rumor." Uncle Li helped me out of the siege at night, and he turned his head to look at me again, and said softly, "Yi'er, don't mention this matter again in the future." ”
Although it was an accusatory word, it was indeed warm and moist from his mouth, and the breeze brought the fragrance of tea, faint.
"Oh."
I answered, knowing that if I didn't say that, when would Lu Ji's psychological defense line be breached!
Lu Ji twitched his lips a few times with a sour heart, and the meaning of his gaze that fell on me was very strong, and I also faced his scrutiny, even if he was blind in two eyes, he couldn't guess that I was a yellow finch.
"Uncle Shi, have you thought about it?" I looked up at Lu Ji with my arms on my back, winked at him, and smiled freely.
Lu Ji's eyes were complicated, he looked up at the sky above him, sniffed a few times, turned around and staggered into the house.
"Alas! This mouth is harder than a stone! I was discouraged and said to Uncle Li, "Master, why don't you take him back to Dali Temple?" It will not be tossed back and forth up and down the mountain. ”
I got up, Uncle Li also stood up, and walked with me outside the meditation room, he whispered, "Then you won't see Yi'er?"
I gave him a blank look, but I heard him say, "Night travel is not good for recuperation."
Oh, he'd rather toss myself than tell me to stay honestly in the mountains.
He added, "Master is distressed."
I pouted: "Master, you should be serious, don't learn from Uncle Shi, he owed a lot of love debts when he was young!"
"You know again?" Uncle Li raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why did Qingluan tell you everything?"
