Chapter 10: Kotohime
Chen Zhou, the three people on the left and the right stepped in. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Compared with Shouyang City, Chenzhou is obviously more prosperous.
Han Lingsha couldn't help but teasing: "Speaking of which, Chenzhou can be regarded as a real treasure on the bank of the Huai River~ Legend has it that the god Fuxi has set up an innate gossip array here, and no matter how powerful the demon is, he can't make trouble." Moreover, the imperial relatives of all dynasties have a special preference for this place, and the most famous is the Cao and Cao who are only a lot taller...... Cao Zijia? β
Zuo Xiaoyou and Liu Mengli laughed, the laughing Han Lingsha's face was flushed, and she looked at Zuo Xiaoyou angrily: "What are you laughing at, I just can't remember it clearly." β
Zuo Xiaoyou smiled and said, "Yes, what you said before has already proved that you are one bucket taller than Cao Zijian, who is only eight buckets taller." You are Han Lingsha, who is only nine buckets high. β
"That's pretty much it." Han Lingsha grinned, and then muttered: "It turns out that it is Cao Zijian...... who is only eight high."
Liu Mengli chuckled, looked at the prosperous Chenzhou City, and said: "It's the first time I've come to a town outside Shouyang, this Chenzhou is very lively, and it's even more prosperous than Shouyang." β
"Of course." Han Lingsha said: "It's rare to come to Chenzhou once, let's have a good time." β
Zuo Xiaoyou said: "Then you guys go play!" I'm going to find those two Qionghua faction people. β
"Aren't you together?" Han Lingsha was a little disappointed.
"I ......"
"Tianhe, let's go together!" Liu Mengli looked at him, her starry eyes full of anticipation.
Zuo Xiaoyou groaned slightly, and said with a smile: "Okay! I'm not in a hurry to find someone, since I'm here, it's better to get better. β
"That's pretty much it." Han Lingsha smiled, played with Liu Mengli's lotus root, and said, "Mengli, do you have anything you want to buy?" β
"Let's take a look first!"
β¦β¦
Accompanied the two girls in Chenzhou City for most of the day, listening to the chatter and laughter of the two girls all the way like yellow orioles, left and right looked at the miscellaneous things hanging on their bodies, and they didn't care.
"Huh?" A poignant and mournful sound of the piano came from afar, and the three of them all showed doubts when they heard the sound of the piano.
"There's someone playing the piano there." Han Lingsha's eyes lit up: "Mengli, Brother Yun, let's go over and have a look." β
When the three of them arrived, they saw a beautiful woman in Tsing Yi caressing the strings of the piano in the middle of a wide pavilion on the side of the road, her fingers like a dancing elf, playing strings of beautiful notes on the strings. It's just that although the sound of the piano is beautiful, it carries a hint of tactful sadness, which is heartwarming.
Unconsciously, at the end of the song, Zuo Xiaoyou couldn't help but clap his hands and praise: "The girl is really good at the piano." β
The woman in Tsing Yi bowed down decently, but when she saw that the three of them were all people with bows and swords, she couldn't help but feel a move in her heart: "The three are from the martial arts?" β
"Martial arts people?" Han Lingsha waved her hand: "We are not some martial arts people!" We are Sword Immortals! β
"Sword Immortal!?" The woman in Tsing Yi was very surprised.
"Lingsha, you're selling it again." Zuo Xiaoyou was very helpless: "Can't you keep a low profile?" The Sword Immortal never said that he was a Sword Immortal. β
Liu Mengli nodded: "Tianhe is right, a master will never say that he is a master. β
"Yes." Zuo Xiaoyou straightened his collar: "Look at when I said it." β
Liu Mengli: "......"
"Phew!" Han Lingsha said angrily: "You say it now." β
"Do I need to say it!" Zuo Xiaoyou said: "Look at my temperament, at first glance, I am a sword immortal." Then he gave the woman in Tsing Yi a discharged look: "Girl, right!" β
"......" The woman in Tsing Yi couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud: "Childe is really a funny person." β
Just laugh.
Zuo Xiaoyou knows that if a person is always immersed in sadness, there will definitely be psychological problems, and if he can smile often, it will be relieved a lot, obviously the woman in Tsing Yi in front of him has a psychological problem, and Zuo Xiaoyou will be so funny.
"The girl's piano is really brilliant." Zuo Xiaoyou said: "I have heard many people play the piano, but none of them can compare with the girl, but I don't know why the girl is so good at the piano, why is she selling here?" β
Why don't you go to an upscale place?
The woman in Tsing Yi didn't answer immediately, but said softly: "Didn't ask the names of the three honorable people? β
"In the lower clouds of the heavenly river." Zuo Xiaoyou said: "These two are the fiancΓ©es of the subordinates." β
"Un......" The woman in Tsing Yi opened her eyes: "Yun Gongzi has two wives?" β
No wonder the woman in Tsing Yi was shocked, because although men in this era can accept a lot of concubines, there can only be one wife who is marrying Ming Media, unless it is an extremely noble person, there is a saying of three wives, but there is only one extremely noble person, that is, today's son, and the three wives are the main palace, the east palace and the west palace. For ordinary people, three wives are simply impossible.
Not to mention the third wife, the second wife is not supported by the provisions of the law, unless the woman is not named, and the man is also treated equally, although it is not recognized by the law, but in essence it is monogamy or monogamy. The woman in Tsing Yi in front of her had obviously never heard of or seen a man with two wives, so it was no wonder she was shocked.
"Don't listen to his nonsense!" Han Lingsha's face flushed and said, "Who ...... Who is his fiancΓ©e, I didn't agree. β
Liu Mengli: "......"
"Sooner or later." Zuo Xiaoyou looked at Han Lingsha and Liu Mengli, and said, "In this life and this life, I won't let go." β
Liu Mengli smiled shyly, although Han Lingsha said that she was happy in her heart, she still had a hard mouth: "I won't let you succeed!" β
Zuo Xiaoyou smiled slightly, turned his head to look at the woman in Tsing Yi, and said, "The girl is so good at the piano, can she sing?" β
The woman in Tsing Yi came back to her senses and nodded.
"Would you like to sing a song for us?" Zuo Xiaoyou said: "Girl, don't worry, there will be no shortage of money." β
The woman in Tsing Yi shook her head: "It's okay to sing a song for Yun Gongzi, it's just that the little girl doesn't want money, but she has a reluctant request." β
"Reluctantly?" Han Lingsha frowned, seeing that the woman in Tsing Yi was extraordinary, not much worse than herself, she couldn't help but be vigilant, and said, "Just singing?" Don't want money yet? I think this reluctant please must be troublesome......"
Seeing that Han Lingsha had the intention of shirking, the woman in Tsing Yi suddenly looked gloomy.
"......" Liu Mengli couldn't bear it when she saw it, and said: "Lingsha, I just listened to this girl caressing the qin, and the song was sad and sad, as if there was great pain." If we can, help her. All right? β
"This ......" Han Lingsha hesitated.
Seeing that hope reappeared, the woman in Tsing Yi said: "Two girls, and Yun Shaoxia, if you are willing to delay for a while, I will tell you all the causes and consequences......
Without waiting for Han Lingsha to speak, Liu Mengli preemptively said, "We are naturally willing to listen." β
Han Ling Shaxin said: This woman shouldn't have any special intentions, right? Forget it, she can't afford to turn over the wind and waves.
Cleaning up her mood, Han Lingsha said: "After talking about it for so long, I still don't know what to call this girl?" β
The woman in Tsing Yi saluted and said, "It's good for the three of you to call me "Qin Ji", I am already a wife, how dare I call myself a girl again." After a pause, she turned her head to look at Liu Mengli and said, "This Liu girl said that I was sad and painful in my heart, but I was serious...... In life, it is inevitable that there will be many delusions, and I have a wish that has not been fulfilled, and I am afraid that I will not be able to see through it until I die......"
"Wish?" Zuo Xiaoyou said: "What is it?" β
Kotohime said, "This has to start from the beginning. After sorting out her thoughts, Qin Ji said: "I have loved music since I was a child, but I admire the world's masters and knights. β
When Han Lingsha heard this, her eyes lit up, and she said in her heart: Isn't this similar to herself! I can't help but feel a little more good about Qin Ji: "I can't see it, you are actually a woman who hoes the strong and helps the weak!" β
Qin Ji shook her head: "What kind of woman, it's just nonsense when she was young...... Later, I became acquainted with the only son of the Qin family in Chenzhou because of the music rhythm, although he did not know martial arts and was very weak, but he was the best person I have ever met, and it didn't take long for him to marry me. β
Han Lingsha said: "That's good, I can be with the person I like." β
Kotohime was silent.
Liu Mengli looked at her and asked, "Could it be ...... Did he fail you? β
Qin Ji shook her head again and again: "No, he is very good to me, we studied the music together, and he also taught me to read and write...... It was really, the happiest time of my life. Pity...... No matter what I do, I can't be a well-informed lady and make my parents-in-law happy......"
"I see." Liu Mengli asked, "What about you?" Does he know these things? β
"Him?" Qin Ji smiled bitterly: "He is such a filial person, in order to marry me, he did not hesitate to disobey the will of the family...... But how can this kind of thing be done again and again...... Gradually, even with the company of his father-in-law, life became more and more difficult...... That's when I had the idea of coming back to the world...... Until one day, I made my mother-in-law unhappy again...... That time, even the prime minister blamed me for a few words, and I left a book in a rage and ran away......"
"Good go!" Han Lingsha said: "Instead of being angry at home, maybe you can be much more comfortable being a woman!" β
Qin Ji's eyes also had a little more brilliance, and said, "Isn't it just a woman?" Everyone who learns swords dreams of becoming a sword immortal in the heavens and the earth, and I am the same, after leaving home, I visited the famous mountains and rivers, and asked the immortals to ask......"
Han Lingsha blinked: "Then have you learned?" β
"I'm shallow in my fortune, but I've only learned some superficial swordsmanship." Qin Ji shook her head and said, "Maybe people's hearts are so dissatisfied, when I make great progress in swordsmanship, I often miss Xianggong, his body is not particularly good, I am very worried...... I found a lot of reasons for myself to come back to Chenzhou to see him......"
Liu Mengli asked, "What about later?" Did you see him? β
Qin Ji shook her head, her face full of sadness: "When I returned to Chenzhou, I learned that he had passed away for several months......"
"Huh!?" Han Lingsha exclaimed: "He, what's wrong with your father-in-law?!" How could it be ......? β
Qin Ji's expression became more and more gloomy: "I heard that Xianggong's health was even worse after I left, and my mother-in-law set a family affair for him, but not long after the bride passed the door, he still went...... I've thought about meeting him again a thousand times, and I'd rather he scold me and not forgive me, and I don't want to be like this......"
"......" Liu Mengli became more sympathetic to Qin Ji's plight and asked, "So, what can we do to help you?" β
Qin Ji said: "It's useless to regret it now, I don't know where the Qin family buried Xianggong, I just want to go to the Thousand Buddha Pagoda, put incense on the pillar in front of his tablet, and ask him to forgive me for my ignorance before......"
Han Lingsha said: "What's so difficult about lighting pillar incense? You can go if you want! β
Qin Ji shook her head: "Miss Han doesn't know, the Thousand Buddha Pagoda in Chenzhou has Buddhist holy relics, and there is holy light on the top of the tower, so not only in this city, but also many rich people have traveled thousands of miles to send the tablets of their relatives here, wanting their souls to be blessed by the Buddha." Of course, the Qin family is the same, they also donated money to repair the tower, and the abbot also has a good relationship, maybe the Qin family has informed something, those monks did not let me enter the tower at all, I also thought about going in at night, but in order to protect the holy relics, there are warrior monks guarding there at night...... I can see that you are very skilled, and I just want to ask you to help me and let me enter the tower to pay homage to my deceased husband. β
"I see." The three of them completely understood, but Han Lingsha was a little puzzled: "But, with your swordsmanship, you can't beat those monks?" β
Qin Ji said: "It's also a mistake, when I heard that Xianggong passed away, I was heartbroken, thinking that he didn't like me to dance and play with swords before his death, so he made a heavy vow never to use a martial art again, who would have expected that there would be so many twists and turns later...... Since then, I have been playing the piano on the streets of Chenzhou, trying to find someone with a kind heart and martial arts skills to help me. β
"I see." Liu Mengli became more and more sympathetic to this woman.
Han Lingsha said a little angrily: "Then the Qin family is too much, everyone is in the ground, and it won't be what happens if you worship." I've got you covered! β
Liu Mengli said: "In this case, do we need to enter the Thousand Buddha Pagoda tonight?" β
Seeing that the three of them were willing to help, Qin Ji said gratefully: "Thank you, I will remember your great kindness for the rest of my life. β
Liu Mengli shook her head: "You are too polite, I still want to hear you play the piano and sing, so it is not for nothing." β
Jean became more and more grateful: "Thank you." So, at the end of the day, I will be waiting for you under the Thousand Buddha Pagoda on the island in the middle of the lake. β
Liu Mengli nodded with a smile: "Well, a word is a certainty." β
After that, Kohime packed up her piano and left.
Looking at her back, Han Lingsha sighed lightly: "Hey, God is too good at playing tricks, right?" It's obviously a good marriage, but it turned out like this. β
Liu Mengli said: "I just hope we can help her put a stick of incense for her husband, then it will be fine." β
"Definitely." Zuo Xiaoright pressed his hand on Liu Mengli's white and soft fragrant shoulder, and said, "As long as we work together, nothing is impossible." β
Liu Mengli smiled slightly, looked at the sky, and said, "It's still early when we arrive, why don't we continue to look around the city." β
Han Lingsha said: "Okay, go shopping, it would be great if you could meet Huaishuo." β
Liu Mengli nodded with a smile: "Well, if you are tired, go to the inn to rest." β
"Then let's go!" Zuo Xiaoyou said: "Huaishuo didn't think about him in advance, today's task is to have fun in the city, and it's not over if you don't have fun!" β
"Hee-hee, then it's hard for you to continue to help us carry things." Han Lingsha said with a smile.
"Willing to serve the two ladies."
"Phew, who's your lady! Shameless. (To be continued.) )
