CHAPTER XLIV
After a while, Liu Er came over with a bamboo basket, the bamboo basket is hollow, long barrel, tightly woven with thin bamboo strips up and down, left and right, intricately surrounded, take a closer look, it is not difficult to find that there are carved secret lines on the bamboo tube, this woven tube is also peculiar, the middle of the circle is slender and the tail end is oval, and there is a hole as big as a fist at the top. Because the bamboo is tall and delicate, the branches and leaves are swaying, and the heart is strong, it has attracted countless literati and ink writers to compete for recitation.
For example, "Poetry Weifeng Qiao" said: "Zhan Bi Qiao, green bamboo".
Another example is a generation of great calligrapher Wang Huizhi, who once sent people to live in empty houses temporarily, so that he could plant bamboo. Or why bother to stay temporarily? Xiao Yong for a long time, pointed directly at the bamboo and said: "How can there be no such king for a day!" "He loves bamboo all his life, and he can be regarded as a good bosom friend of bamboo.
Bamboo is high and bright, with tenacity and perseverance, which is exactly what I admire.
Seeing me looking at the bamboo tube with a smile on her face, Liu Er put the tube on the ground and said to me, "I knew that the bachelor would like it, and Mrs. made a special trip to let me bring it, and Mrs. also said that this bamboo tube can be used to put books and drawing paper, and can also be used as a vase, even if there is nothing in it, it looks good just by putting it on."
I smiled and said, "Madame is really thoughtful, thank Madame for me."
Liu Er walked on her front feet, followed by two soldiers carrying a brand new table, and then two maidservants, one carrying a new round stool into my room, and the other carrying a bunch of things in her arms, both bowed to me, and then began to work. I didn't bother much, and went into the inner room, where there were cubicles, and now there were more rooms. Unlike the previous one, there were only three rooms.
I walked around a few rooms, and when I came out, the hall was empty. I couldn't help but laugh when I saw it, this is what a bachelor's degree should look like.
There is a table next to the window, on which are placed a stack of copywriting, a stack of books, an inkstone, pens, paper and a wooden pen holder. The most eye-catching is the glazed tripod, with a wide mouth and a narrow bottom, a semicircular button in the middle, a raised rib line on the edge, and symmetrical ribs on both sides. It is a great ingenuity and has an extremely rich technological achievement. The face is detailed, its simple shape, elegant appearance, in the simplicity of the noble temperament. I've seen this kind of glaze at my uncle's house before, and it's an excellent display.
In private, I still asked Ai'er to call me sir, and the rest of the major generals also called me sir, which sounded pleasing to the ear.
As soon as Rourou entered the door, she first bowed her hand to me and said, "Say hello to Teach Grace."
I smiled and said, "Let's call back to the old name, I listen to it and don't twist my mouth."
Rourou smiled and nodded, and suddenly saw the woven bamboo tube resting on the ground, exclaimed, ran over and took the bamboo tube in her hand, and said, "Sir, this bamboo tube is so chic, how bad it is on the wet and cold ground."
I hurriedly said, "It was sent by Mrs. Mu, and I haven't picked it up yet." Looking at the bamboo tube, I said, "I don't know what to put in it, and Mrs. said that it is okay to put it as a decoration."
Jujudo "Yes, but it can't be put on the ground." She casually put her hand on the table, her eyes blinked, as if she had a sudden idea, and said to me, "Sir, you wait for me, I'll come when I go."
Before I could ask, she ran out of the yard.
After a while, I saw Rourou come in with a bouquet of lilies, inserted the lilies into the bamboo tube, and then matched them with blue-purple lover's grass, and then took out a few small golden fruits from the sleeve and put them on it.
Suddenly, a fresh fragrance came to the nostrils, and the lilies have always had a pure and elegant atmosphere. Lover's Grass, also known as Dancing Grass, can dance naturally with sound and light, but unfortunately it is winter, and you can see it dancing when the temperature is high.
It is said that this lover grass also has a function, which can prevent mosquito bites, and my skin is terrible, as long as I am bitten by mosquitoes for seven or eight days, it is difficult to be fine.
Looking at the bottle of fruit and flowers that Rourou arranged for me, I couldn't help but smile and said, "Rourou, I have a heart."
Rourou waved her hand at me, and said with a smile, "This is all sent to me by Azu, my place is too small, and I live with a few female guards, and I can see it in the room alone, they don't care, anyway, my temple is too small to accommodate such precious flowers, it is better to borrow flowers and offer Buddha to people who understand them."
Listening to Rourou's words, I was happy and unhappy, this time I borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and last time I borrowed a wooden figure to offer the Mid-Autumn Festival, she didn't care about Azu's good intentions at all, and again and again Azu's sincerity was trampled on the ground, but what can I say.
Although there are not many things, it still takes a lot of effort and effort to pick them up.
I returned to the original yard and stood. Looking at the footprints all over the courtyard, scraps of paper, strips of cloth, paper flowers, old exhibition cloths and other things were thrown everywhere, the ground was wet, dirty, messy, and messy, and my mood suddenly became very irritable.
It was the only place I had in White House, and I lived here for a whole year. In this courtyard, I shook the crickets with Xuanxuan, followed Xuanxuan to fool around and climb over the wall to pick dates, and fell on the fourteen young people. I cried and laughed with Ju'er, played hard, and even scolded her. From the stove room to here, Ju'er doesn't know how many times candy particles have been served for me, just because I like it, I serve it to my yard every day, at that time I even thought that Ju'er was a girl with solid eyes, there are so many delicious things in the stove room, but only candy particles are picked. Ju'er is gone, and now she can't even live in this yard.
And in the house, in order to prove my innocence, I stabbed myself in front of Bai Xiaoqiu, Bai Xiaoqiu picked me up, and cried heartbreakingly and called me Feifei. For Chu Lianwei, she even beat me, and she also kissed me because of Ju'er's death, and we tore and wrestled together, torturing each other.
At the wedding, he abandoned me and became someone else's groom and someone else's daddy without hesitation. I was so miserable about this that I kept drinking, thinking that if I was drunk, it wouldn't hurt, but I didn't expect that I couldn't get drunk at all.
For Chu Lianwei, he also smiled at me and begged me to accept the purple roses sent by Chu Lianwei, as long as I accepted these purple roses, he forgave Chu Lianwei for being rude and even wronged me for stealing hairpins.
The innocence I paid for with my life was easily erased by a few pots of flowers and a fake fall, coupled with Bai Xiaoqiu's faint smile. Isn't it unfair?
Ai'er was tidying up in the room, and from time to time she stuck her head out of the window and asked me, "Sir, do you want to bring the wooden basin over, and do you want the shelves to pass?" I was upset and yelled, "Take them all away, and not one of them will be left behind."
Ai'er shrunk her neck in fright, and didn't dare to ask any more, so she hurried to pick it up.
After all, I still miss the old very much, I walked around the yard and the house, looked around, looked at the eyes hot, I wanted to cry, Ai'er said, "If Mr. is reluctant, you can come back often to see, they are all in the White Mansion, and they are far from going."
I sighed, and that's all I had to say.
When Ai'er found it, he told her to take the things first, and then she would arrive.
Walking around to see if anything had fallen, I looked around several rooms, and suddenly I saw the guqin wrapped in a spread. I probably used an old cloth bag, so I thought it was something I didn't want. The guqin lay quietly in the corner, buried in the dust.
I walked over and opened the cloth, because the piano inside the package was not stained with dust at all, my eyebrows stretched, my heart moved, I sat cross-legged on the spot, my hands slightly raised on the strings, half-gripped, fingertips hooked the strings, and suddenly the sound of the piano was leisurely.
I hadn't touched the piano for a long time, and I closed my eyes and was alone in the sound of the piano, song after song. I didn't even hear anyone come in.
The person who came also sat cross-legged, I could smell the faint smell of his body, it was a taste that I could never forget in my life, and there was a faint smell of tobacco in it, which was the sachet I used to make, which was packed with angelica, Chuanxiong, Qincao and herb and ground into powder and wrapped in the sachet, and he put it close to him.
As soon as I opened my eyes, my body shook slightly, and I hurriedly moved to the side.
Bai Xiaoqiu put his hands on the strings and stroked it gently, which was very natural and smooth, and the sound of the piano was completely different from mine.
I've always been curious, he didn't know how to play the piano before, I taught him, but he laughed at me, saying that a major general who galloped on the field didn't study tactics well and hid at home all day to play the piano, which was simply not doing his job. He has always refused to learn, and I don't want to be reluctant to stop teaching him. I don't know when he learned this technique. If Chu Lianwei liked it, he learned it.
Last time during the Mid-Autumn Festival, when I was in a dilemma and in an awkward situation, he was the one who stroked the piano for me.
I opened my mouth to say something, but I couldn't say a word.
He just stroked the piano, I listened carefully, or the song played at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, which is "Ten Miles Home" that I am familiar with, last time he changed it slightly, this time it is the original. Passing by the scenery of half a life, getting a good reputation and fame, they can't reach ordinary people's homes, small bridges and flowing water, accompanied by tea.
I also echoed him, and the two of them went from being fast and slow at the beginning, or fast and slow, to the same movements, the same pace, and uniformity.
After the song, neither of us spoke, only the gasps of each other, and the room was quite quiet. After a while, he turned to look at me, his eyes flickering, and said softly, "Lucky enough to be able to dance for me?" ”
I chuckled and said, "Of course, you have to stroke the piano for me".
"That's nature," he laughs.
It's still the song "Ten Miles Home", but I danced a different dance, sometimes happy, sometimes melancholy, sometimes hopeful, and suddenly at a loss, I don't know what the future will be.
I think that at this time I am no longer a butterfly with wings spread high, I am probably a bird, full of horror, and my heart has no fixed place, so my heart is always flying, and I can't find a place to dock.
Your ruthlessness made me completely understand what a dead heart is, and I was so sad that I had a complete epiphany after experiencing betrayal, and I understood both people and things, you and I can't be together after all.
It seems that the more sober he is, the more heartache he feels, his toes rub on the ground until it hurts, and his body turns fast, just afraid that if he is not careful, he will be thrown out of the window.
I don't know exactly how long I've been dancing, but as long as he keeps playing, I won't stop.
Finally, the sound finally stopped, and I was out of breath and staggered against the wall.
Bai Xiaoqiu raised his head and said to me with a smile, "The bits and pieces of my husband's past are in this mansion, no matter how unhappy and entangled you and I have been, since we move out of this mansion, we will write off a fortune, and I hope that Mr. Su can get rid of his previous suspicions and turn his hostility into a jade silk." From now on, you will be a bachelor of Huide taught by the Holy Lord, teaching people to read and paint, I am the young general of the imperial court, and we will serve the country together."
I chuckled lightly, and then said lightly, "Okay, Su Feifei remembered, Major General take care."
