After listening to Baoqin's words, the waiter was furious, "How can Miss Eight be like this?!" If it weren't for our princess to help her, she wouldn't have to be a concubine for that Lord Wei now, and she still wanted to be a concubine for the prince after helping her, I really don't know what to do. โฎFull text without pop-up window reading .โฏ"
Baoqin looked left and right, quickly reached out to cover her mouth, and said in a low voice:
"You whisper to me, be careful to be heard by the princess."
The waiter said in the same low voice resentfully:
"I'm not angry, it's really worthless for our princess, like Miss Eight, I should let her go to Wei Mansion as a concubine without asking. Chapter 292: Lantern Festival"
"Alright, alright, don't be angry for now." Baoqin frowned and said embarrassedly: "Do you think I will tell the princess?" โ
The waiter looked at her with the eyes of a fool, "You are stupid, can you let the princess know about such a thing." โ
"That's not to tell." Hug the piano and said.
"Of course I can't tell you." The waiter answered her categorically.
Baoqin hesitated, "But, don't you tell the princess?" In her opinion, it was unwise for her to hide something from her master as a slave.
The waiter also understood what she meant, and she hesitated to replace her. But isn't being a slave and a maid just thinking about the master everywhere? She believed that the master would be angry when she heard Miss Eight's words, in this case, in order not to make the master angry. Although they are slaves and maids, they have to hide it from their masters.
Having made up his mind in his heart, the servant said decisively: "We must not tell the princess what Miss Eighth said." โ
Huqin no longer hesitated. He replied, "Okay." The two agreed men talked for a while and went into the house.
After dinner, she was about to hold the lamp, but was stopped by Xie Lingyun, she looked at the moonlight like water in the room, and sat silently in the dark, thinking about her thoughts. Chapter 292: Lantern Festival
Baoqin and the waiter looked at the master like this, and they were a little worried. I don't know what's wrong with my master, why does the expression on his face look so lonely......
Xie Lingyun quietly looked at the scenery outside the window, and for a moment she did feel a strong sense of loneliness. Look at the clearly visible pavilions and listen to the rustling of leaves in the wind. The light of the moon, the silence of the night. is so beautiful, but it makes Xie Lingyun feel sad in her heart, it has been two years since she came to ancient times in a blink of an eye, which means that she has left her relatives in modern times for two years, I don't know if my parents are doing well, do you think of her often......
"Hug Qin, I remember that the prince has a hole flute, you find it." Fear of loneliness, fear of thinking of parents. Fear of helplessness, and even more fear of the sourness when crying.
Huqin was stunned at the same time, not knowing what their master wanted to do with the dong flute? Is it blowing? But when did their master learn to blow the flute?
With the question in her heart, Baoqin quickly found the jade flute covered in a box, took it, and handed it to her master. "The princess, the cave flute is here."
Xie Lingyun took the hole flute and stroked it little by little, she hadn't played the hole flute for a long time. I remember the first time I saw Dong Xiao in this room, she was very excited, she felt very kind, and she wanted to play a song. But he didn't dare, he was afraid to think of everything in modern times, and he was even more worried about arousing the suspicion of Baoqin.
But now, at this moment, after accepting the remoteness of returning to the modern era day by day, in such a quiet night, at the moment of the new year, she wants to indulge, just to remember the past, just to give the future courage.
Slowly, the turquoise hole was brought to his lips...... A faint wail, a little bit of light, slipped down from the hole of the flute - quiet, long, like the wind blowing from ancient times, and like infinite thoughts in the narrative. The sound of the flute was ethereal, Xie Lingyun was silent in his thoughts, and time seemed to stand still.
At this moment, Xie Lingyun was so lonely, helpless, and sad in the eyes of the hug qin...... The sound of the flute is still blowing - euphemistic, poignant and pleasant, like water and silver, like a light and tranquil melting moonlight, flowing in the bottom of my heart. Although the few people who hold the qin don't understand the beauty of the flute, they only feel like a dream, a trance, a little sad and euphemistic, and a little soft and soft. The aftermath did not stop, and the sound of Xiao rose again, lingering and sliding down in every way - long, cool, ethereal...... The sound of the flute painted a slightly melancholy but suddenly dream-like picture.
The quiet and melodious sound of the flute came from the east courtyard, slowly strolling through the backyard of the entire palace, the lady who was chanting the scriptures heard the sound of the flute, closed her eyes and listened for a moment, opened her eyes, and couldn't help asking:
"Who's doing this?"
Mama Xu, who was serving on the side, had already heard the sound of the flute, she thought for a while, bowed slightly and replied:
"The old slave heard this sound coming from the east courtyard, it should be the prince who is blowing the hole flute."
Mrs. Tai was stunned, listened quietly for a while, shook her head, and vetoed: "No, the fourth child's flute sound is not like this...... You listen to the sound of this flute, and the sound is lingering, which shows that the person who plays the music is Hui Zhilanxin, where can the fourth child play. โ
When Mama Xu heard this, she hurriedly walked to the door and asked the little maid to see who the person who was doing the was.
Mrs. Tai closed her eyes again, listened to the flute music, and felt that her heart was light, as if she was meditating in silence in the ancient temple, accompanied by green lights and yellow scrolls, smelling the wind of the distant bell, watching the moon move and the trees moving, and her heart was cold......
At this time, the little maid who was sent out to inquire ran back and replied softly: "Mrs. Tai, it is the princess who is giving a." โ
Mrs. Tai was moved when she heard this, she didn't expect Xie Lingyun to be able to blow the hole flute, which was very unexpected. Then I listened carefully to the sound of the flute, and then I only felt that the sound of the flute was a little desolate and helpless, but it was arrogant and free, as if I was feeling the vicissitudes of time. The sound of the flute blew into Mrs. Tai's heart, so that she couldn't help but follow the sound of the flute and moved, and couldn't help but look back on it, and the sweet, sour, bitter and salty suddenly came to her heart. Realizing that she was so affected, she couldn't help but be shocked, such a flute sound could be played by a fourteen-year-old Xie Lingyun......
Xie Lingyun didn't know the shock caused to Mrs. Tai, and the sound of the flute gradually fell silent. The last beautiful melody disappeared from her lips, and she slowly lowered her arms and slowly stroked the turquoise hole. Sexy lips opened slightly, a sigh, the ripples of the heart returned to calm, the past is the past after all, life must continue after all, since the lost cannot be recovered, then she has to work hard to grasp everything in the future.
Look up at the beautiful and peaceful night. whispered: "Listen to Xiao Qu with melancholy tears, play the infinite things in your heart, but no one can talk about it, the years are long, and your heart is murmuring......" was originally 'Acacia Teardrops Listen to Xiao Song', so she temporarily tampered with it to 'melancholy teardrops listen to Xiao Qu', just because there is no lovesick person in her heart, and it is true that she is full of melancholy.
Hug the qin a few times from the sound of the flute of the heavenly sound. They looked at each other, both with a faint concern.
Baoqin hesitated for a moment, and said cautiously:
"Princess, do you have something on your mind?"
Xie Lingyun exhaled, looked at her sideways, smiled silently, and asked:
"Huqin, do you want your own family?"
Hug Qin was stunned, could it be that his master missed his family? But isn't the little master in the palace? Could it be that you miss Aunt Feng? She guessed in her heart, thought of her family, smiled bitterly, and replied in a low voice:
"The slave was sold into the Xie Mansion as a maid by her father and mother since she was a child, and she didn't live with her family for a long time." Speaking of this, Jean let out another wry smile. "Every year, my father and mother come to see the slave and maid several times, but every time I come, I either ask the slave and maid for the monthly silver, or ask the slave and maid how long it will take for the monthly silver ......"
In the dark, although she couldn't see Huqin's expression too clearly, Xie Lingyun could feel Huqin's resentment and sadness. "Alas" everyone has helpless things in their hearts, she didn't want to make Baoqin uncomfortable, and hurriedly asked the waiter a few words:
"How many of you?"
The waiter had already been touched by the words of the piano and felt sad in his heart, and they all bowed their heads and were silent, and secretly wiped their tears when they entered the painting.
The atmosphere in the room became very dull because of this topic, Xie Lingyun felt uncomfortable in his heart, and secretly blamed himself for not mentioning his family, so he quickly said a light topic, "It will be the Lantern Festival in ten days, do you want to go out to see the lights?" โ
How could Baoqin not understand the kindness of the master, so they suppressed the pain in their hearts, and made fun of it, saying: "Of course the slave wants to see it, the slave and maid only saw the light when they were children......"
"Slaves and maids are also ......"
"The slave hasn't gone out to see it yet......"
For a while, the atmosphere in the house became cheerful, and they chattered about the Lantern Festival.
None of the master and servant expected that there was a figure outside, watching all this through the window.
Xue Renjie was attracted by the sound of the flute, listening to the sound of the flute that shocked him, and looked at the lonely figure in the window for a moment, his heartstrings were touched, and his cold eyes became hot, so he stared at her quietly......
Time flies by, and it's the Lantern Festival in a blink of an eye.
On this day, when it came to Shenshi, Xie Lingyun returned to the East Courtyard first, intending to rest for a while, but Xue Renjie came back.
"Are you tired today?"
Xie Lingyun felt sore, and she didn't want to move when she was tired, but she said with a smile: "It's okay." โ
Xue Renjie glanced at her deeply, looked at her somewhat thin face, a touch of distress flashed in his eyes, and said in a gentle voice:
"If you're too tired, you can ask your mother to help you, and you can ask Mama Xu to help you."
Why did this guy suddenly care about her, didn't he see that she was not capable enough, could it be that he was worried that she would mess up Prince Jane's Mansion?
"No need, the concubine is busy coming here." Xie Lingyun said with a smile, but she was slandered in her heart.
Xue Renjie frowned, but felt that she was not telling the truth, looking at her tired look, he was never verbose, and said another sentence rarely:
"If you feel embarrassed to ask your mother for help, let ...... Let the fifth sibling or Qiao's help. โ
Since the sixth lady came back from her mother's house, she didn't know what was going on, she said that she wouldn't manage affairs anymore, and in the end, there was no way, so she was put in charge of Xie Lingyun alone.
Xie Lingyun felt very tired, but when she heard him mention Qiao's, her phoenix eyes narrowed, and she said falsely:
"Thank you for your concern. If the concubine is too busy, she will definitely ask Qiao's help. โ
Xue Renjie nodded, after all, she didn't ask about the backyard, even if she wanted to find someone to replace her. But you can't ask again and again.
The two men talked for a while, and when they saw that it was getting dark, they went to Mrs. Tai's courtyard. Everyone has arrived. Even the people in the third room are there.
After all, it was the New Year, although the family did not gather - the old prince was missing, but the New Year, it was also lively, Mrs. Tai was a little sad in her heart, but she still smiled and let everyone go to the hall, and the family sat together. Set up a sumptuous dinner table and spend a Lantern Festival together.
Xie Lingyun was going to serve Mrs. Tai with food, but was stopped by Mrs. Tai, saying that she would let Qiao's take her to serve, she had been tired for more than half a month. Sit down and have a good meal with everyone.
Xie Lingyun didn't insist, so she did it beside the sixth lady, but her eyes glanced at Qiao's and Xue Renjie from time to time, suddenly, she felt that she would look at Qiao's, and Wei Jingxiang, who was waiting behind Xue Renjie, was a bit of an eyesore, if they didn't come, wouldn't it......
There was just a head in his heart, and Xie Lingyun was shocked in his heart. I felt a cold sweat on my back, what was wrong with her, why did she have such a terrible thought? Could it be because Xue Renjie has been resting in her house recently...... Realizing that she had abnormal thoughts in her heart, she immediately secretly warned herself not to have such thoughts, even if Xue Renjie only had herself in his heart. What can it be, isn't there still a third, fourth, and fifth ...... between her and Xue Renjie, maybe there will be more sisters in the future.
Xue Renjie is now living in her house, because among his wives and concubines, she has the best appearance, and she is the youngest, but in the future, it will be difficult for her to have no other more beautiful woman...... Therefore, only by loving yourself will you live a happier life, and how to love yourself is to keep your heart......
The meal was lively, and the children were noisy to go to the garden to see the lanterns after eating.
"I'm old, I can't compare to you little dolls, you can go and see if you want."
Brother Zu'er agreed loudly, "Yes, please rest assured grandmother." Then he ran out with a smile.
"Hurry up and send a few people to follow, don't let a few of them bump into each other." Mrs. Tai panicked.
Xie Lingyun hurriedly said: "Mother, don't worry, Mama Xu and Mama Qin will follow." โ
Mrs. Tai nodded, still not at ease, and after a few more words, she let the four big maids around her and Qiao's help go back to rest.
The sixth lady, the fifth lady, the third lady and others also went out, Wei Jingxiang wanted to stay, but was beaten away by Xue Renjie with a word.
Looking at Wei Jingxiang, who was unwilling to leave, Xie Lingyun covered her mouth and smiled.
"Laughing at what?" Xue Renjie walked up to her at this time.
"Uh......" Xie Lingyun smiled embarrassedly, snickering at his concubine, who was actually caught, she hurriedly said: "Didn't you laugh at anything, didn't you go to see the lights?" โ
Xue Renjie glanced at her, and didn't ask her what she was laughing at, anyway, seeing her smile, his heart was also happy, "There are a lot of lights hanging in our garden, you can go and see it later, and I'll go to the outer study for a while...... By the way, today is the Lantern Festival, Master Wu ......"
Xie Lingyun said with a smile: "Don't worry, the banquet and the reward, the concubine body has been sent over." โ
Xue Renjie nodded and went to the outer study.
After Xie Lingyun watched him leave, she arranged for the little maid to clean up the table, and when she saw Baoqin and the waiter beside her, she smiled and said:
"Let the two of you go to see the lights, you two have to go, there is nothing to do now, do you two go with me to see the lights in the garden, or go back to our garden to prepare melons and fruits or something to worship the moon?"
Baoqin and Shishu shook their heads in unison, saying that they would follow her to see the lights, and it would not be too late for the moon to wait for the lanterns to come back from the painting and Si Qi.
"Alright, let's go see the lights together." Xie Lingyun said with a smile.
The three of them walked towards the garden, the weather in the first month was still a little cold, Xie Lingyun put together her cloak, watched a full moon in the sky illuminate the surroundings of the courtyard, listened to the rustling of the wind, and looked at the lights around her, a festive and peaceful, but she felt lonely, from the depths of her soul.
Baoqin said: "We were still in Xie Mansion on the fifteenth day of last year, but this year we are in Prince Jian's Mansion, and the princess is also married to the prince, and the slave feels that all this is like a dream." โ
The waiter was amused by her words, "What you say, what you say, it's like a dream." Is it so unreal that our princess marries the prince? โ
Baoqin's eyes widened and explained:
"People don't mean that, people just think it...... I just think it......" she frowned, trying to express her inner feelings in an apt word.
"You think time flies too fast, right?" Xie Lingyun said for her.
Baoqin's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Yes." is the meaning of the princess, I just feel that time flies too fast, and a year has passed before I know it. โ
The three of them laughed and came into the garden. Because it was a festival, people could also come to see the lanterns, and the maids and ladies all saluted when they saw Xie Lingyun.
Xie Lingyun didn't want them to feel restrained, so she waved her hand to let them feel free, and she took the book and the piano to slowly go to a less crowded place to watch, which would not affect the mood of the subordinates to play, nor would it disturb their master and servant.
As Xue Renjie said. There are really a lot of colorful lanterns in the garden, different patterns, different shapes, there are really countless, and the most attractive one is the marquee. It turned out to be a rotation, with various patterns drawn inside, or characters in the play, under the light of the lit candles, slowly turning, and the picture was continuous, which was very beautiful.
"In the old days, the Lantern Festival,
The beautiful scenery of the good day is intoxicating.
It's a pity that the prosperous world has become yesterday,
The old style is gone.
Imakoshi has Matsumoto.
The lighting can be retro.
There are thousands of kinds of dazzling varieties,
People can get drunk in the lamp"
Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of her, Xie Lingyun couldn't help but have this poem in her mind, and murmured softly, but heard someone behind her calling her mother.
"Mother, mother." At this time, Zu Ge'er ran over. followed by Xie Pingfan, as well as Mama Xu and Mama Qin.
Xie Lingyun stood still, turned around and looked at him running in front of him, and said with a smile: "Don't run so fast, be careful of falling." โ
"Yes." Brother Zu responded, and then happily pointed to the marquee in front of him and said, "Mother, look, this marquee is so beautiful." โ
Xie Lingyun glanced at Fan Fan with a smile, then lowered his head and stroked Brother Zu'er's head, and asked gently:
"What, you like it?"
Zu Ge'er nodded obediently and pouted: "I like it, but I can't guess what this lantern riddle is?" โ
Xie Lingyun noticed that there was a small note under these marquees, and she couldn't help but take a closer look, and it read "Thousands of years are closely connected"
And when she saw the handwriting on it, she was a little surprised, she didn't expect it to be written by Xue Renjie, but she didn't expect him to be so elegant, and she actually remembered the riddle.
The corners of Xie Lingyun's mouth curled up in a good-looking arc, it was really hard to imagine that Xue Renjie would write this. When he looked down again, he saw that Brother Zu liked to look at the marquee, so he said to Baoqin:
"The fourth young master likes this marquee, take it off and play with it!"
At this time, Lian'er said with a face full of embarrassment: "The princess, the prince said, if the fourth young master can't find out the mystery, he can't take it back to play, slave maid, slave maid ......"
Brother Zu glared at her angrily, and shouted: "Mother said okay, what's the matter with you, talk more, get up." Then he said to Baoqin: "You take it down for me, my mother just said it to me." โ
As soon as Xie Lingyun heard that these were deliberately tested by Xue Renjie, then he couldn't break Xue Renjie's rules, so he had to say patiently to Brother Zu'er:
"Brother Zu, since your father said so, we can't foul the law, let's guess the riddle together, okay?"
When Brother Zu heard this, he clapped his little hands happily, immediately smiled, and said happily:
"Okay, okay, let's guess together, and my uncle will come and guess too." As he spoke, he pulled Xie Pingfan and asked him to think of the answer quickly.
Xie Lingyun intended to test the ordinary, so he looked at him and said, "Ordinary, Brother Zu really wants this marquee, then it's up to you." โ
Xie Pingfan's mouth pursed, nodded solemnly, and then looked at the riddle seriously, and muttered in his mouth: "Thousands of times are closely connected, type"
Everyone was silent, silently waiting for Xie Pingfan to give an answer.
After a while, ordinary eyes lit up, looked at Xie Lingyun and said, "Sister, is this a 'tongue' word." โ
Before Xie Lingyun could say anything, Lian'er clapped her hands and smiled: "Young Master Cousin is so smart, it's exactly this word." โ
Xie Lingyun was very pleased, nodded, and said to Huqin: "Hurry up and take off this lantern." โ
Heilan muttered "The heart has made a decision, it should not be too late"..."She thought about it, still a little unsure, but still said: "Isn't it a 'fast' word?" โrq๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ โฎYan Moxuan no pop-up adsโฏ .
