At night, in the moonlit treetops, A-Ying was sitting alone in her room reading a book, when suddenly there was a snap, and a stone hit her pane accurately.

A-Ying pushed open the window and saw Ziqing standing under the window, looking up and waiting for her.

"Why are you here?" When Ah Ying saw him, although she was angry, she was a little happy in her heart. The night is quiet, and he stands quietly under the window, as bright as a jade tree.

Ziqing smiled slightly, looked at her with a pair of dark eyes, and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"Read a book." Ah Ying raised the scroll in his hand and asked him, "What's the matter with you?" I don't sleep at night and hang out outside. ”

Ziqing said: "Tomorrow the academy is on holiday, they are going to the market together, will you go?" ”

A-Ying shook her head: "You guys go, I don't want to go." ”

Ziqing spread her arms and leaned on the window, resting her chin on her arms, and said softly: "Go, we haven't been to the market for a long time." Let him go and go together. ”

Ah Ying looked at him, under the moonlight, the young man's eyebrows were as hazy and delicate as a picture, and his black pupils were like thick ink melting, with a kind of gentleness and innocence unique to a teenager.

On that snowy night a few months ago, she was almost frozen, and when she awoke, in that dim, old musty room, by candlelight, she saw him for the first time.

Her heart was pounding.

Seeing that she looked at herself in a daze and didn't speak, Ziqing asked, "Did you agree?" Said yes. ”

A-Ying nodded.

Ziqing smiled happily and said, "Come out and play the piano for a while." ”

Studying the six arts in the academy, Ah Ying's biggest fear is playing the piano. There seemed to be endless combinations of the five strings playing the Gong Shang Jiao Zhengyu, and she couldn't figure it out. When I heard that I was going to play the piano, I immediately pouted: "I don't want it!" ”

Ziqing smiled again: "Look at you, how are you afraid of being like this." ”

"Who's afraid! I am...... I don't like to play the piano. ”

"But next month, I'm going to take the piano exam, how can you get through? If you don't hurry up and practice more, when the court judges you to beat the board, don't come to me and cry again. With my half-made teacher, you don't make good use of it. Li Hao, a few of them want me to teach me twice, but I'm not happy. ”

Ziqing is quite talented in piano skills, and for him, a piano can travel the universe and overlook all things.

Ah Ying was still reluctant and said, "Another day, I'm sleepy today." She was about to close the window, but Ziqing blocked the window, reached out and grabbed the book in her hand, and looked at the title: "Netherworld?" You peek at this kind of idle book again, be careful I tell the court to judge! He threatened, "Hurry up or I'll go in!" ”

"You dare!" Ah Ying sneered in her mouth, and her face turned red. Knowing that she is a woman, she dares to say such a thing, which is clearly teasing!

This light wave of the shapeless family!

Ziqing grinned and reached out to grab her hand: "Come out quickly, I'll play the piano for you." ”

A-Ying's hand was caught in the palm of his hand, and he only felt that his hand was dry and warm, and his face was hot.

Ziqing looked up at her, only to see her cheeks flushed, as if she was drunk, and said stupidly: "Ah Ying, you are so good-looking." ”

Ah Ying retracted his hand violently, and said in a panic and bluntly: "I'm going to sleep!" With a snap, the window shut. But leaned against the window and covered his heart. As if he had done something bad, a restless heart was pounding violently.

There was no sound outside, and Ah Ying was secretly wondering, when she suddenly heard a clear sound of the piano. When I pricked up my ears and listened, it was the song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix".

In the Han Dynasty, Sima Xiangru loved Zhuo Wenjun, and picked him up with the piano under Wenjun's window, and played this song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix". Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism, this song has been regarded as frivolous. In this dynasty, the Xianbei people originated in Liaodong, Saibei, and were free and unrestrained by nature, and those Xianbei nobles especially loved this song, thinking it was true and romantic.

The phoenix soars, seeking the phoenix from all over the world.

Helpless beauty, not on the east wall.

The piano will be used as a substitute for the language, and the conversation will be heartfelt.

When I see Xu Xi one day, I am hesitant.

Listening to the sound of the piano, the girl's heart softly turned into a pool of spring water. Ah Ying gently pushed open the window and saw the young man sitting under the pear trees in the courtyard in front of his window, bowing his head and stroking the piano.

The handsome young man with a hearty smile lowered his eyebrows, and the moonlight shone obliquely, casting a hazy silver light over his white clothes. An evening breeze blew and blew off the snow-white pear blossoms of the trees. Light petals fluttered in the wind and fell to the ground, on his hair, on his shoulders.

Picturesque.

A-Ying walked out and walked gently in front of him.

The sound of the piano was clear, and she couldn't help but gently lean her back against the pear tree, silently staring down at Ziqing's quiet and down-to-eye appearance in front of her.

Half of his face was sunk in the shadow of the moonlight, the bridge of his nose was straight, and his two thin lips were pursed. The eyelashes are long, and they flutter slightly because of the focus on playing the piano.

Ah Ying's heart softened. In her heart, when a person secretly read Qingqing Zijin's Youyou My Heart, she had imagined such a teenager in her heart, as quiet as the night, as green as the moonlight.

It's what Ziqing looks like.

She felt her face burn inexplicably.

The sound of the piano stopped abruptly.

Ziqing looked up at her, looked at her innocent eyes as clear as a deer seriously, and suddenly whispered, "Ah Ying, I want to marry you." ”

Ah Ying is her name. The fragrance fills the sleeves, and the road is far away.

Ah Ying was stunned. Wive?

She was so intoxicated that she almost forgot how she escaped from Jinyang in embarrassment, and how she struggled all the way to Chang'an.

She almost forgot that she still had a big secret in her.

She almost forgot what a huge class gap there was between her and him.

It's all to blame for the teasing sound of the piano.

It's all to blame for this sultry moonlight.

Ziqing sensitively found that almost in an instant, the eyes of the girl opposite faded from intoxication and shyness, and became cold again.

"Will your mother and brother approve of you marrying a girl from a declining family?" Ah Ying leaned against the pear tree, lowered her head, and rubbed her feet against the ground crampedly.

Even if the ancestor Ran Min used to be the emperor, to this day, the Ran family can only be regarded as a low-class scholar, how to climb a young man who was born in the eight surnames of Xianbei and wrote "shall not be awarded a lowly official" in Wei Lu.

Her expression was light and a little sad. Maybe neither she nor Ziqing should be too deep in this relationship.

Ziqing stood in front of her, put her hand in her palm, and said softly, "Ah Ying, I will find a chance to talk to Ah Gan." I don't want you to be a concubine or a concubine, it's enough for me to marry only one wife in my life, I just need to marry you as a wife. Ah Ying, give me some time and let me give it a try. ”

The young man's innocent and enthusiastic confession touched her heart, and Ah Ying looked at his clear eyes, smiled slightly, and nodded. Although I knew in my heart that even if Ziqing went back to talk to her mother and brother, there would be no result.

But she was still moved, and then she had a trace of vain hope. What if Yu agrees?

In case there really comes a day, she can become his wife and be at peace with him for the rest of his life.

"Okay? Wait for me, okay? Ziqing looked into her eyes and asked anxiously, wanting to ask for a promise.

Ran Ying's face burned. She looked into his deep, ink-stained eyes and nodded slightly.

Early the next morning, Li Hao grabbed Ziqing and said with a smile: "Why did Ziqing play "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" under Aying's window last night? ”

Ziqing was a little shy, pushed him away, and said, "You are talking nonsense again!" Next month's piano exam, see you are ready? ”

Li Yu stretched his waist and said, "It's okay to say anything else, when it comes to piano skills, who can compare with you in the entire academy?" Even you have to practice all night, so I just give up. Why don't you teach me to pull twice? ”

Ziqing shook his hand: "Your qualifications are too poor to teach well." ”

"you!" Li Yu punched him on the shoulder, and asked mysteriously: "Aqing (1), do you have a family to kiss you?" ”

"No...... Never! Ziqing didn't know why he suddenly asked about it, thinking that he knew about himself and Ah Ying, and he was flustered.

Li Hao smiled mysteriously again: "Yesterday, my aunt came to write a letter, saying that she wanted to talk about a family for me. But now I'm so focused on my studies, thinking that I can complete my studies as soon as possible, and I can join the auxiliary government of the DPRK and serve the country, I really have no intention of ......."

"You have it." Ziqing relieved himself and interrupted him with a smile, "Aren't you just not having enough!" Do you know whose daughter it is? ”

Li Hao scratched his head, laughed twice, and said: "My aunt did mention a few daughters of the same status as my family, but I have seen those women a few years ago, and they are not good-looking, I don't like them." ”

"And what do you like?"

Li Yu raised his head and thought, and suddenly saw Ah Ying passing by, pulled her over, hugged her shoulders, and said with a smile: "I like Ah Ying like this!" ”

Ah Ying was startled and stomped on his foot hard.

Li Yu screamed all his life, squatted down and covered his feet tightly, and shouted: "Playing with you, why do you have such black feet?" ”

Ah Ying bent down and put her face in front of Li Hao, glared at her eyes and said, "If you dare to hook up with me again, you're not welcome!" With that, he snorted, turned around and left.

Li Yu stood up, bared his teeth and jumped twice, and said to Ziqing: "This guy is like a girl, and he won't be touched." ”

Ziqing smiled embarrassedly: "He...... He really didn't like it very much. ”

Seeing Ziqing's expression, Li Hao leaned over to him and said softly, "You are with him...... Is it really ......"

"You're big!" Ziqing raised his head and knocked it Li Hao's head, and learned from Ah Ying just now, so he came to him and pretended to be vicious and said, "If you dare to mention this again, you are not welcome!" ”

After that, he snorted, turned his head and left.

Li Yu was stunned for a moment in place, and when he saw him walking away, he said: "When these two people get together, they twist and pinch, they really look like a small couple." ”
