Chapter 15. Wheel of Fortune
Xia Nuan Pavilion, the temperature is obviously higher, giving people a feeling of summer sunshine, there is a row of green bamboos planted in front of the walls around the wall, the bright dark green contains vitality, the sections are clear and straight, straight into the sky.
There is a white wooden bench in front of the bamboo, and a huge cylindrical bookshelf in the center is connected to the ceiling, as if supporting the entire Xia Nuan Pavilion.
Xia Nuan Pavilion does not smoke incense, only the clear grass fragrance of bamboo, and it is not too decorated and gorgeous, only a strong bookish atmosphere.
Mu Zichen walked to the bookshelf and took out a book with the title "Dream of Nanke" on the cover.
He obviously wouldn't have much interest in the kind of books, so he put them back in place and looked around the shelves.
"The library is upstairs, and there is only a small part of it that we read regularly, and we sometimes read here." Su Qing explained.
On the other side of the cylindrical bookshelf, books suddenly became books from all over the world in many different languages, including famous books, stories, and language learning classes.
Mu Zichen looked down and was a little surprised.
"Will you learn so many Chinese?" Anyway, he remembered that his sister wasn't so keen on learning, let alone so many languages.
Su Qing shook her head and said with a smile: "No, those are from Xianyue, I only know three languages, which is not worth mentioning compared to Xianyue, hasn't Zichen heard of Xianyue's famous language talent?" ”
"Oh?" Mu Zichen casually took out a foreign language learning book and looked at it, and said with some curiosity, "How many languages does she know?" ”
"I don't know the specifics, more than a dozen should be there, her mother tongue is Chinese, when she lived in the Aslan Palace when she was a child, she spoke Aslan Chinese and Y Chinese, among which she has met with envoys and visited countries and seen a lot, plus her love and talent for languages, she has been learning in private." Su Qing replied.
Dozen? Mu Zichen was a little surprised. His talent is reflected in mathematics, he has not studied languages deeply, and his interest is not very great, but he is still shocked.
"It's amazing."
Syllable!
The two were talking, and the book in Mu Zichen's hand turned to a certain page, and suddenly something slipped down from it, and there was a crisp sound, and both of them were startled and looked at the ground.
It turned out to be a plastic flower shadow tarot card, the painting style is extremely beautiful and gorgeous, bouquets, elves, and the center is a colorful turntable, with the words at the bottom: X.. Wheel of Fortune.
It was precisely because Xia Nuan Pavilion did not have a carpet that a small card fell to the ground and looked particularly loud in this quiet.
Su Qing squatted down to pick it up, but she didn't want Mu Zichen to touch the card before her, and Su Qing just touched Mu Zichen's hand.
On the card, the two hands froze in the air, and the two of them were stunned, and when they raised their eyes, they saw each other squatting on the opposite side.
The hand froze there as if it were electrocuted, and both of them forgot to take it back.
After being stunned for a few seconds, Su Qing pursed her lips and withdrew her hand, lowering her eyes to hide her embarrassment and the sudden acceleration of her heart's beat.
"Give." Mu Zichen picked up the card and handed it to Su Qing, there was nothing unusual on his face.
Su Qing raised her hand to pick up the card, and the two of them were squatting on the ground, a little close, and their hands were connected by a card, which was inexplicably a little ambiguous.
Su Qing only felt that her heart was beating wildly, and some unquenchable blood was pouring into her brain, and it was developing towards a degree that she couldn't control.
"I don't know who put this card here, so let's put it back in place." Su Qing looked down at the tarot card and stood up, secretly took a deep breath, and stabilized his mind so that he would not show any flaws, but in fact, he was in a trance, and he didn't pay attention to that card at all.
"Okay." Mu Zichen took the book and opened it in front of Su Qing.
Su Qing put the tarot cards in it and said, "It's too hot here, let's go to the Winter Warm Pavilion to have a look." ”
"Hmm." Mu Zichen agreed coldly as always, to be honest, he didn't feel any heat.
Winter Warm Pavilion, is still the piano, chess and plum, as the largest warm pavilion furnishings but the coldest and empty, the corresponding set temperature is also the lowest in spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Wrapped in a hint of coolness, Su Qing felt that the rising temperature on her body had stabilized, and her brain was much clearer.
Mu Zichen browsed the Winter Warm Pavilion, it was really like frost and snow, and there was a cold and lonely taste. His gaze was fixed on the guqin.
"Do you know how to play the guqin?"
Su Qing nodded, walked to the piano bench and sat down, raised her slender jade hand to stroke the strings, and got up.
She looked at Mu Zichen and smiled softly, and said, "You sit down, I'll play it to you." ”
With that, she turned her gaze to the strings, and gradually became serious.
After a few seconds of silence, she plucked the strings with her boneless hands, and suddenly, the melodious rhythm poured out, as clear and gentle as a spring in a deep valley.
Her back is straight, she sits dignified, her pretty face is serious and serious, because of her slender figure, she has a quiet temperament, which seems to be difficult to low wind and rain, and like frost and snow.
The speed in her hand gradually increased, and the sound of the piano became tactful and lingering, as if there was affection flowing, with the fragrance of flowers and birds, and the words of crazy dreams. Her expression softened, and she was intoxicated by the sound of the piano.
Mu Zichen knelt in front of the chessboard, observing the chess game that had ended.
The sound of the piano is melodious, and the people are also quiet, which is rare and beautiful.
On the swing frame in the garden, Miao Xing'er leaned lazily, letting the swing sway.
The breeze hit her, her light blonde hair was slightly messy, and her whole person became more and more illusory.
Even if there are servants all around, even if the red flowers and green leaves in front of her are gorgeous, they can't solve her loneliness, let alone enter her world.
She looked at the glitz in front of her lightly, her eyes didn't move, and none of the things that came into her eyes entered her heart.
"One, two, three, four, five......"
She whispered the numbers, killing the time.
is also a quiet time, but she is a person who has a quiet time.
Except for her sister, nothing can stay in her heart.
"Second Miss, the invitation for the old gentleman of the Su family for his birthday came in the morning on the weekend." Manju reported from the sidelines.
"Oh." Miao Xing'er was cold.
"Second Miss?"
"I just listen to the arrangement." After saying this, Miao Xing'er stopped talking and closed her eyes.
Seeing her like this, although Manzhu couldn't bear to disturb her anymore, she had no choice but to say, "Second Miss, it's time to go to school." ”
"If I don't go, I say I'm not feeling well and I'm resting."
"This ......" Manju was a little embarrassed.
"Don't worry, people are busy with me, how can they care about me?"
Miao Xing'er asked with a calm face, Manzhu suddenly lost her temper, so she had to respond, so she went to tell Su Qing.
Looking at Manzhu's back, Miao Xing'er sneered disdainfully, she didn't follow, she was afraid that Su Qing would thank her in her heart, how could she care if it was true or not?
