Chapter 112: Heading to Xiyi
Murong Ke galloped on the official road, walking, and suddenly stopped moving.
Su Yu also stopped and drove his horse to Murong Ke's side: "Lord Wang, what's wrong?" ”
Murong Ke looked back at the road he came, was silent for a while, and said, "It's nothing, let's go, drive!" ”
……
After Ye Lan'er returned to Yunhe Mountain, she fell seriously ill.
For several days, he had a high fever and babbled nonsense.
From her whispering, Jade Flying Kite knew what had happened.
"Lan'er, why are you doing this? Since my heart was pleased with him, I went to him. Since he is no longer in Jiangxi, he must have returned to the capital. Even if he is no longer in the capital now, sooner or later he will return to the Rui Wangfu. Why can't you find him? ”
Ye Lan'er shook her head weakly: "Sister, you don't understand." In my mind, going to him this time is like a bet. It's providence to bet on.
Originally, I thought that since Heaven was able to force me to find his existence, it was intended to fulfill me. However, then we missed it, isn't this a hint from God? ”
Yu Feiyuan chuckled and sighed: "Lan'er, do you believe what you said?" ”
Ye Lan'er pursed her lips and didn't speak.
"Silly boy, why do you deceive yourself. It's because you're timid and unconfident that you conjure up these so-called fates to numb yourself and want yourself to accept this result, right?
How can there be so many hints from God, the arrangement of God?
This time, it's just a coincidence.
If you really like him, don't care what royal power and wealth he has, what kind of lover Gu poison he is, you have to fight for it!
How could you be so sure that Murong Ke would care about your identity and the Gu poison on you? Why can't you think about it boldly, perhaps, Murong Ke will guard your sobriety and lack of desire for you for the rest of his life? ”
Ye Lan'er heard Yu Feiyuan say this, and laughed: "How can there be such a man in the world?" ”
Jade Kite: "How do you know if there is one?" ”
Speaking of this, she smiled herself: "I know, in fact, you understand these truths." A lot of the time, you know better than I do. It's just that someone else needs to say it for you.
Okay Lan'er, cheer up, take good care of your illness, and then go to the capital to find Murong Ke! ”
Ye Lan'er smiled: "No, let's go to Xiyi first." Sister, you also said it, Rui Wangfu is there, and the monk can't run the temple if he can run, it's mine, he can't run! ”
Yu Feiyuan smiled with some relief, she reached out and touched Ye Lan'er's head: "Lan'er, thank you." ”
"Sisters! Do you want to be so sensitive? It's just a sickness, come, Sister Lan'er, hurry up and drink your medicine! ”
Tian'er took a large bowl of bitter decoction medicine and handed it to Ye Lan'er's mouth.
Since Mao Xianzu went, Tian'er stopped combing the original ball-like hairstyle, and changed to the dress of an ordinary little boy.
I don't know if it's because of the change in hairstyle, he suddenly looks less tangled, and he has a faint sense of youth.
And, a more significant change is that even the way he speaks is no longer the cute and cute he used to be, but has become a little old.
Ye Lan'er even suspected that the previous Tian'er was just a Tian'er pretended to please Mao Ancestor, and the current Tian'er was the original himself.
If that's really the case, it's really embarrassing for this child, who can go to great lengths to please his relatives.
Ye Lan'er closed her eyes and drank all the decoction.
Tian'er took the empty bowl and shook her head: "Sister, you are such an adult, how can drinking medicine be the same as being punished?" Grandpa, please take care of me, but don't let me take care of you every day. Be strong and mature! ”
With that, he walked out with an empty bowl and sonorous steps.
Ye Lan'er was stunned: "Hey, this kid ...... Sister, did this child take some poison and change sex? You're starting to teach me a lesson? ”
Yu Feiyuan couldn't help laughing: "Tian'er grew up overnight." ”
Ye Lan'er wiped her mouth and sighed heavily: It's no longer the easy-to-knead dumpling it used to be.
After recuperating for three days, Ye Lan Eryu Flying Kite and Mao Shuntian embarked on the road to Xiyi.
Xiyi and the Great Xia Kingdom are incompatible, they don't even need to connect with Guan Wen, and the only way to enter Xiyi is to smuggle in.
So they chose a very desolate path.
Rolling mountains, barren land. In order to climb over this boundary mountain, they ate up the food that had been prepared for half a month, drank all the water, and each of them lost at least ten catties, and finally rushed to a border town in Xiyi country.
The costumes of the people here are very different from those of the Great Xia Kingdom in the Central Plains.
Especially women's hair accessories and jewelry.
In Ye Lan'er's opinion, they are like Xinjiang people in their previous lives, with small pigtails and various fancy headbands made of gold. Wearing long skirts and trousers, it is much more convenient to move than Central Plains women.
However, Ye Lan'er and the others still decided to dress up as men. Because, it's simpler this way.
But the way they are now, it's not good to swagger to the ready-to-wear store.
So the snitch Ye Lan'er showed her skills again, got into the private house, stole other people's clothes, and dressed up.
With a casual bunch of hair, a piece of forehead tied, and half-leather and half-cotton clothes, he looked a little heroic.
It's just that they don't have the tools to disguise themselves, so they have to paint their faces dirty to cover up their original appearances.
This small city is still thousands of miles away from the capital of Xiyi, and Yu Feikite finally inquired and spent a lot of money to buy a carriage from a family.
It's just that when he was staying in this family, Mao Shuntian found a maid holding a guqin passing by, so he made the child angry and had to ask for this qin.
Ye Lan'er pulled and persuaded this bear child: Go to someone's house to play, don't ask for the owner's things casually.
But Tian'er was like a ghost half of the body, and he actually sprinkled it, helplessly, the jade flying kite took out the gold again, and asked for the piano with a lot of gold.
Unexpectedly, the master was extremely happy this time, saying that the piano was just a beggar who bet it on him to beg for food. How can any of them here play this thing, isn't this just about to fall into the storehouse?
He very generously sold the piano to the jade flying kite, and also accepted the ingot of gold very unceremoniously.
Mao Tian'er immediately collected his tears after getting the qin, and even immediately accepted his child's appearance, turned into a deep teenager, and kept holding the qin in his arms.
After Yu Feiyuan and Ye Lan'er prepared the food and water they needed on the way, the three of them continued to hurry without stopping.
Ye Lan'er didn't know how to catch the car, so she sat in the carriage with Mao Tian'er.
She saw Mao Tian'er's eyes straight, holding the qin and not knowing what she was thinking, she stretched out her hand and shook it in front of him.
"Hey, little ghost, what are you thinking? Along the way, you are talking less and less day by day, becoming more and more dull day by day, and you are bored. ”
Mao Tian'er didn't answer immediately, she was silent for a long time, and asked, "Sister Lan'er, what did my grandfather tell you before he died?" ”
Ye Lan'er didn't expect him to ask this: "Hey, it's nothing, it's just that you gave me two very important piano scores." It's a pity that I can't play the piano, what a waste. How, you want? Sister, I see that you like the piano so much, why don't I give you the piano score? ”
The expression on Mao Tian'er's face was very serious, at least much more serious than Ye Lan'er: "Sister Lan'er, you must take good care of what your grandfather gave you." At the critical moment, these two piano scores are worth the lives of tens of millions of people. ”
The corners of Ye Lan'er's mouth twitched, and she reached out and slapped Mao Tian'er's head: "Can you not talk to me in an adult tone, I really can't adapt to it, right?" I know that Senior Mao is a left-handed magic qin, and I will definitely keep his piano scores.
However, for Mao's predecessors, the most important thing is not the piano score, but you. ”
Mao Tian'er sighed: "The most important thing for Tian'er is not grandpa." ”
Ye Lan'er sat beside Mao Tian'er and hugged his shoulders: "So, because you miss your grandfather, you have to buy this piano when you see it?" ”
Mao Tian'er took Ye Lan'er's hand off her shoulder and sat opposite her.
"No, the reason why I have to do this is because this is my grandfather's piano."
After that, Mao Tianer put the lyre on his lap, spread his arms, and stroked the strings with both hands.
In an instant, music like water flowed from his fingertips.
Ye Lan'er had never heard such beautiful music, she looked at Mao Tian'er's hands that were still dancing beautifully with baby fat, and she couldn't believe her eyes or ears.
At the end of the song, Ye Lan'er couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
She didn't even feel that the Jade Kite had already stopped the carriage.
She was sitting quietly outside the carriage door at the moment, with tears on her face.
After a long time, Ye Lan'er finally came back to her senses.
She looked at the eight-year-old boy in front of her in disbelief: "Was it taught to you by Senior Mao?" You're playing too well, aren't you? You're a musical prodigy, a contemporary Mozart! ”
Mao Tian'er shook his head: "Grandpa, he never taught me." ”
Ye Lan'er was short of breath: "Then how did you learn?" ”
"When I was young, my grandfather would always play the piano at night while I was asleep. The more I listened, the more I learned. ”
Ye Lan'er's eyes were about to bulge, and she said that this was more Mozart than Mozart.
"Actually, I heard everything Grandpa told you that day. You're going to send me to Helian in Xiyi, aren't you? ”
Ye Lan'er was stunned, she didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Actually, I know it all. I've known since I was a child that I have a pair of blue eyes, which is not what the people of Great Xia should be. And Xiyi's Helian Department is all blue-eyed.
Grandpa was afraid that when I grew up, I would be ungrateful, and I would bloody slaughter the people of Daxia like Gongsun He, the general who protected the country in Xiyi, so he never refused to teach me kung fu.
I understand my grandfather's worries, and I play a cute child who doesn't understand anything every day, just so that he can occasionally let go of his worries and not regret his choices back then.
Now that my grandfather is gone, I don't need to hide my original self.
I've long since grown up, I'm not a kid anymore. ”
