Chapter 20 Painting on the Qing River
Xiao Yijun wants to eat the roast chicken in Yixing Building, but he eats it with the two brothers and sisters of Mu Linxia and Mu Yuyan? Xiao Yijun thought about it for a while, and felt that this Mu Linxia didn't know why, and he had been haunting her, and he didn't know whether he was friend or foe. So he made an excuse, saying that he wanted to prepare for tomorrow's interview, and refused Mu Linxia's invitation to have dinner together.
Leaving Yixing Building, Xiao Yijun looked at the painting boat on Qinghu, touched his hungry stomach, shook his fan, and said to Qiushuang: "Qiushuang, let's go to the painting boat on the lake to have a play?" Stop by for a meal. ”
Although it was rare for the young city lord to say where he wanted to play, Qiushuang felt that it was so late, it was not good to wander outside, and he went to a place like the painting boat. persuaded Xiao Yijun and said, "Young master, it's getting late, it's better to go back to the inn." ”
Xiao Yijun refused to go back, and when he saw Qiushuang's insistence, he left Qiushuang and left. Qiu Shuang saw that she didn't persuade Xiao Yijun, and Xiao Yijun refused to take her with her, so she secretly scolded herself for being stupid, made a few gestures, told the secret guards to disperse, and followed Xiao Yijun from a distance.
At night, the lake is quiet and charming, there are boats parked on the lake, on the boats, some of the girls are dancing, some are playing the piano, and a few have sailed far into the middle of the lake. Xiao Yijun approached the painting boat parked by the lake, and the girls on the painting boat saw that although Xiao Yijun was young, he was well-dressed and handsome, and they shouted one after another: "Son, come up to the painting boat of the slave family." "Childe, the dance of the slave family is a must in this Qinghu."
At first, it was still very normal to solicit business, but later, as soon as the words "Qinghu Yiju" came out, the girls in the surrounding painting boats began to quarrel, and some said: "You can't twist your waist, what else do you say Qinghu Yijue?!" The person who was said was not to be outdone, "How can it be dropped, is it difficult to achieve your appearance and still be a must-have in Qinghu?" Hehe, Qinghu is not necessarily ugly! ”
Xiao Yijun never expected to cause such an uproar, and he lost his direction for a while.
At this time, a familiar voice sounded from behind him, "Young City Lord! ”。
Although Xiao Yijun said that he didn't like to see this Mu Linxia, at this time, Mu Linxia's voice was as beautiful as the fairy in the nine heavens. "Mu Sikong!" Xiao Yijun's eyes flashed with joy, "Didn't you eat roast chicken in that Yixing Building?" How did you get to the edge of this clear lake? ”
"The private room is for the little sister, and when she goes in, I come out." Mu Linxia's eyes flashed, and he didn't say why he came to hang out on the edge of this clear lake.
As for why Mu Linxia appeared next to Xiao Yijun, it had to start with Mu Linxia sitting in the private room. The window of the box was facing Qinghu, and when Mu Linxia just sat in, he glanced at the window, and at this glance, he saw Xiao Yijun. I don't know what kind of demon I was in, Mu Linxia couldn't help but follow Xiao Yijun when he saw Xiao Yijun's declining figure alone. He comforted himself and said that it must be because his sister robbed her of the hairpin she liked today.
Mu Linxia's mind turned around for a thousand times, and saw that Xiao Yijun did not reply to his words, but made a gesture to leave. In a hurry, he said, "The young city lord should be the first time to come to Yicheng, why don't I take you for a walk?" ”
Xiao Yijun replied without thinking: "Don't bother with Mu Sikong, I'll just take a walk around by myself." ”
"Oh? Really? Then which boat is the young city lord going to get on this painting boat on Qinghu? Mu Linxia was rejected by Xiao Yijun, and she was not annoyed, and asked her with a smile which painting boat she was going to go on.
"Forehead ......" Xiao Yijun was speechless, entangled and hesitant in his heart.
At this time, Mu Linxia didn't give Xiao Yijun any chance to refuse, patted her on the shoulder, and took her to a painting boat in the west. As for Xiao Yijun, she didn't break free, nor did she refuse, she obediently followed Mu Linxia, because she really didn't know how to play this painting boat.
On the painting boat, a girl walked out, and Mu Linxia asked, "Does Luo Niang have any arrangements today?" ”
The girl replied respectfully: "Luo Niang knows that Gongzi has been in Yicheng recently, so naturally she didn't make an appointment with anyone, so she kept her free time for Gongzi." ”
"Let's go." Mu Linxia led Xiao Yijun to the second floor of the painting boat, and at this time, as soon as the girl who walked down before closed the door and closed the rope, the painting boat began to float towards the center of the lake.
When Xiao Yijun looked at everything in the painting boat curiously, Qiushuang was anxious, this was the first time that the young master had left her sight! And! It was with this Muskong that he went away. But after thinking about it, it doesn't seem to be dangerous to go with Mu Sikong.
On the second floor of the painting boat, there is a woman holding a pipa in her arms, dressed in a water-colored Luo skirt, which is beautiful to fall around in layers. Wearing a pair of jasper hairpins on his head, and a little powder on his face, he is even more beautiful and moving.
"Childe." The woman holding the pipa stood up and blessed Mu Linxia and Xiao Yijun respectively.
Mu Linxia saw that he often came, and when he saw this, he said to the woman: "Luo Niang, this is a good friend of mine, when you first come to Yicheng, you can just talk about a few good songs." With some side dishes, we haven't eaten yet. ”
Luo Niang bowed her head and said yes and retreated.
Xiao Yijun looked at Mu Linxia's words and deeds and saw that he had come to the painting boat many times, so he said, "It seems that Mu Sikong often comes here." ”
Mu Linxia didn't say yes or no, but said: "Young city lord, don't call me Mu Sikong, my word is Xin Ran, call me Xin Ran." ”
Xiao Yijun was as good as a stream, smiled and said, "I don't have a word yet, Xin Ran might as well call me Yijun." ”
The two chatted happily, and after a while, the wine and food were served, and Luo Niang was playing the piano behind a curtain.
"This song of the fallen mother is really good." After a song, Xiao Yijun admired it from the bottom of his heart.
"Luo Niang's full name is Luo Cuiwei, she was originally a young lady from the official eunuch family in Jiangzhou, but later because of the turmoil, the family was ruined, and there was really no way, so she made a painting boat girl." Mu Linxia took the wine glass, looked at Luo Niang behind the curtain, and sighed a little.
"Cuiwei, that's a good name. The sky is verdant, but it cares about the way it comes. Xiao Yijun tilted his head slightly and looked at Mu Linxia, and the focus was Mu Linxia's handsome face. Looking at it, it seemed that he suddenly noticed that he had been staring at a man, his face flushed, and he hurriedly lowered his head and took a sip of wine.
Mu Linxia seemed to notice Xiao Yijun's blush, but he didn't seem to notice it. smiled slightly, but was happy in my heart.
"Yijun is in the preliminary exam this time, what topic did you choose?" After chatting about Luo Niang's song, Mu Linxia began to ask Xiao Yijun about his studies.
"I chose pharmacy."
"Oh? There are very few candidates for this discipline, but Huang Lao is a well-known existence......"
