Chapter 41 The jade flute, the rhyme is long
The next day, the floating jade building on the edge of the West Lake.
In the private room, a young man sat quietly in front of the window, looked at the lake outside the window, and took out the jade flute lying quietly on the table.
The sound of the flute is melodious, ethereal, like wisps of clouds wrapped around the mountains, not stained with dust, born by water, and dancing by the wind. It is like a silent night, when the moon is in the sky, accompanied by the stars, and suddenly there is a night spring surging, far away from the hustle and bustle, but it is like the sound of heaven, lingering and compassionate.
The young man wore a moon-white robe, wide sleeves, ink-dyed mane, and a forehead like mutton fat and white jade, even if he sat on the shore of Xizi Lake in spring, his gaze was as calm as autumn water, without a trace of waves. He sat there, as pale as the moon, the only color was an emerald hosta in a jet-black bun, but even so, his brilliance still filled the room.
An old man stood silently in the doorway, like a statue, motionless, as if he had been standing there for decades.
Huo Roufeng listened boredly to the conversation between her sister and Huo Zixing, one was an elder, aggressive, and the other was a soldier who would block him, and he would not give in.
Huo Roufeng yawned, it didn't matter how my sister and Huo Zixing talked, Huo Zixing lost all the games in this game.
My sister didn't care about the house in the long house and the second room, Huo Zixing also decided that my sister didn't dare to take back the house according to the contract, and the reason why Huo Roufeng came with her was that she was worried that her sister would let go.
In my previous life, my mother once said, "If you don't beat the water dog, the dog will be able to climb ashore as long as there is still a breath, and then it will bite you again." ”
She saw her sister take a sip of tea, and said to Huo Zixing calmly: "It's okay, if the second master's family can't find a suitable place to move out for a while, they can continue to live there, relatives, I don't want to force you too tightly, you live in the house first, and it's not too late to move when you have a place to live." ”
Huo Zixing choked on a sip of tea, giggled twice, raised his finger and pointed at Huo Rouyun's nose, and scolded: "Did you let the dog eat this girl's conscience?" You ......"
Huo Roufeng couldn't help laughing, and was greeted by a knife from her sister, she stuck out her tongue, jumped off the Taishi chair, and slipped out of the private room.
The floating jade building is the property of the Huo family's second room, no, strictly speaking, this is hers.
As early as three years ago, her father had just passed away, and she was kidnapped, and after her sister hung a dark red to find her, she separated the Fuyulou and more than 20 other shops in Jiangnan from Yongfeng, and gave them all to her.
Later, she learned that the long house was very tight at that time, and the family had loosened its mouth, and her sister was worried about changes over time, so she began to buy private property for her.
Parents are dead, and children can buy private property.
Therefore, the largest floating jade building in Hangzhou City is ostensibly the second room of the Huo family, but in fact it is Huo Roufeng's own private property.
It's just that she's still young, and all these businesses are taken care of by the big shopkeeper, and Ping Suri also reports to her sister, she is a hands-off shopkeeper, and she doesn't even know how much money she has, because she is too lazy to look at the account books.
She hummed a tune out of tune, asked Xiao Er to prepare a fishing rod and fishing tackle, and then thought of going fishing on the waterfront side of the floating jade building.
Scholars and scholars who came to visit the lake would often fish here by the fence and then hand over the fish they caught to the kitchen for cooking.
There are special people in Fuyulou to take care of the fish in the lake, and some fish fry will be put in every year.
Before Huo Roufeng could call Xiao Er over, he heard a flute sound.
She was stunned, hooked her fingers at Xiao Er, who had already run over, and asked in a low voice, "Is this still that person?" ”
Xiao Er also lowered his voice, and both the master and the servant didn't seem to want to disturb this beautiful flute sound: "That's right, Ninth Master, this is the son who came before." ”
A few months ago, Huo Roufeng had heard the second child of the floating jade building say that there was a son who played the flute here, and there happened to be a girl from the flower building on the opposite side of the boat, and when she heard the flute, the girls also showed their respective musical instruments, and they were in harmony, but the flute stopped abruptly, and the girls were not disappointed, and after returning to the shore, they sent the girls to the floating jade building to inquire, where the flute was sacred.
Xiao Er didn't understand silk and bamboo, and he just thought it sounded good, until the girls said that the flute was played well, so he talked about it to Jiu Ye as a joke.
Huo Roufeng became interested and asked, "What does that son look like?" Is it good-looking? ”
Xiao Er blinked, Jiu Ye said this, how can a man ask if another man is good-looking? He had no choice but to say: "Don't hide it from the ninth master, it's strange to say, this son has come twice, and no one in our whole Fuyulou has seen his appearance, just looking at his straight posture, like a young man." ”
Huo Roufeng's curiosity was completely aroused.
Xiao Er doesn't understand the rhythm, but she does.
This person's flute is not only played well, but also the musical instruments used are also very particular, this sound is not an ordinary flute can be blown out, the famous flute is the same as the famous qin, it is priceless.
Well, the ninth master is a rich man, and no matter how elegant he is, he must use money to reflect it.
She didn't go fishing anymore, so she simply sat on the bamboo chair of Xiangfei under the porch, and listened to the song quietly.
The old man standing in front of the door didn't seem to see her, his eyes were level, like a century-old pine.
At the end of the song, the surroundings seemed to be spelled, and even the wind by the lake was silent.
Huo Roufeng held her breath and waited for the flute to sound again, but after waiting for a while, there was still no sound in the private room where the flute sounded.
Huo Roufeng stood up, stretched his waist, and felt that it was better to go fishing, the chef in the Fuyu Mansion was so-so, and there were a few fish dishes that were still cooked well.
She glanced at the old man standing outside the door again, this person had never seen it, but this bearing looked like a high-ranking family, and the flute player inside the door did not know who it was.
Hangzhou City is a place of flowers, literati and ink writers from all over the world often gather, fighting literature and painting, and there are more sons of families from all over the world, falling in love with the beautiful scenery of Hangzhou, living on the shore of this West Lake for several months, chanting the wind and making the moon, singing and dancing; Even the famous actors are proud to be able to show their faces in the city of Hangzhou, so eight or nine out of ten the flutes in this door are not Hangzhou locals.
She touched the small bun on her head, which was combed for her by picking celery before going out, decorated with eight finger-sized southern pearls, and surrounded the two small buns like stars holding the moon, she looked in the mirror a few times, so that she looked tight.
But at this moment, the two doors opened silently, and the old man standing outside the door like an ancient tree immediately turned around.
Huo Roufeng also stopped, looking intently at the person who came out of the door.
She wanted to see what the flute player looked like.
