Chapter 2 The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix
Because I sprained my foot and had multiple abrasions on my body, Bao Yuan did not allow me to go back to the music workshop, and told Wang Zhaoyuan to go and greet Qin Niang, and since then I have been recuperating in his other courtyard with peace of mind.
Bao Yuan must come to see me every day, and ask Ming'er about my diet and medicine, which is very thoughtful and considerate. It's just that every time I face him, I will feel a little cramped and uneasy, so I often find some excuses to ask him not to come, and whenever this time he stares at me a little angrily, until I lower my head and dare not look at him again. Day after day, I actually started to avoid him again, and Ming'er couldn't see it, so I hugged him on the side.
I just hope to get better soon, to go back to the Fleur Corner as soon as possible, so that I don't have to see him every day, so that my heart will not fall into the mess like a cat all the time, and the more I struggle, the tighter it becomes.
I heard Wang Zhaoyuan say that the man who saved me that day was no longer in serious trouble, and Bao Yuan arranged for him to recuperate from his injuries in the "Juzhu Courtyard", I wanted to go and thank him in person, but Bao Yuan did not allow it, saying that I was injured and could not move around, so I had no choice but to give up.
Mr. Ling's medicine is surprisingly good, and within four or five days, I can help Ming'er get out of bed and walk around slowly. Today, I heard that Bao Yuan took Wang Zhaoyuan out, so I asked Ming'er to help me out of the house. After staying in the room for a few days, I only felt sleepy.
Stepping on the slanting sun, walking in this secluded path and winding railing, the cool air in early autumn is filled with the sweet fragrance of osmanthus flowers. When I looked up, I saw that the stone arch lintel in the courtyard was inscribed with three handsome characters of "Hanyan Zhai", and there was a Baoyuan seal next to it. This courtyard is very large, the pothos leans against the wall, the flowers and trees support the Su, but I saw Mr. Ling coming from the stone path.
"Where is the gentleman from?" I called out to him.
This Mr. Ling is about 30 years old, with a clear face. Seeing that I called him, he smiled and said, "Hello Miss Rui'er, it is okay to see the girl's expression, but you have to be careful when you walk." ”
"Thank you, Mr. for taking care of me these days, Rui'er is here to thank you." I saluted and thanked him, and he stretched out his hand to help him, saying that he didn't dare to do it.
I saw that he had a medical kit in his hand and asked, "Is the knight who saved me better?" ”
"It's fine, but the wound on my shoulder is very deep, and it will take some time to heal." said with an embarrassed face: "If the girl wants to visit, it is better to wait for the son to come back." "Oh, that's weird, do I have to ask others to agree to visit my benefactor? Just as I was wondering, I could hear Bao Yuan's warm and moist voice coming from behind me.
"I just went to see you, and the girl said that Ming'er helped you out......" He walked quickly to me, supported me and said with concern: "It's better, why don't you rest more, the autumn wind is cool and careful, and I'm sick again." ”
"Where did I become so delicate?" Although he liked his concern, he still said with disgust on his face: "Doesn't the son treat me as one of those celebrities and ladies, and I can't stand a little wind and frost." ”
He was robbed by me, his face was a little uncomfortable, let go of the hand that helped me and turned to leave, suddenly turned back to look at me, and said, "Since Rui'er doesn't want to go back to the room to rest, then follow me to a place." Saying that, it didn't matter whether I wanted it or not, I told Ming'er to help her, and then turned around and walked forward.
Ming'er helped me to follow him, through an elegant courtyard planted with green bamboo, and then walked through two stone arches, and then came to a pavilion built by the pond and on the water. Wang Zhaoyuan was already waiting by the pavilion, and there was a guqin on the stone table in the pavilion.
I looked at Bao Yuan with inquiring eyes, but I saw that he looked back at me with a solemn expression, and his eyes were very strange. Ban Yu Fang said: "I've always listened to Rui'er play and sing, I don't know if Rui'er is interested in listening to a song on the piano?" ”
"Okay, I would like to hear the sound of the child's piano." I helped Ming'er slowly into the pavilion, and saw Zhang Fuxi-style Yaoqin on the stone table, the body of the piano was purple and brown, the antlers were gray, and the abdomen of a small snake was broken. Golden emblem jade, round dragon pond, oblate phoenix swamp. Seeing that the Yaoqin was very simple, he guessed that it was an antiquity, and opened the bottom of the Yaoqin, and there was the word "Spring Thunder" engraved in cursive.
Seeing me looking at the piano, Bao Yuan's expression was a little gloomy, and he asked, "Can Rui'er recognize this piano?" ”
"Spring Thunder" Although I am not well versed in Yaoqin, but I still know a little bit about the Guqin, and after thinking about it, I said solemnly: "Tang Qin is the first to push Lei Gong, and the nine thunders in Shuzhong are dominant." Yaoqin has always regarded the Tang Qin as the most precious artifact. Among the Tang Qin, Lei Gongqin is the most. Among the nine thunders in Shu, Lei Wei has achieved the most. And among the pianos that Lei Wei has cut in his life, the 'Spring Thunder' is the most. Childe, Ruo Rui'er guessed correctly, and now it is the Spring Thunder Qin made by Lei Wei. ”
"Rui'er has good eyesight." Bao Yuanhan shook his head, and his face was a little more relaxed. He motioned for me to sit down, sat down next to the piano, pressed the strings with his left hand, plucked lightly with his right hand, and only heard the gentle and delicate sound of the piano gurgling from his fingertips......
I looked at the person stroking the qin in front of me, listening to the sound of the yaqin under the moonlight, and I was stunned.
"Do you know the name of this song?" Bao Yuan's clear voice pulled me back from the thoughts that flew out.
I shook my head and chuckled, and said, "Childe is good at the piano, but Rui'er is clumsy, although it sounds a little familiar, I can't remember it for a while." ”
Bao Yuan pushed the piano and got up, stared at me with a smile, and slowly chanted:
"The phoenix returns to its hometown and travels all over the world to seek its phoenix.
When I haven't met anything, I don't know what to do!
There are beautiful ladies in the boudoir, and the room is poisonous to my intestines.
What is the fate of the neck for the mandarin ducks, and the beards and cheeks soar together!
The phoenix and the phoenix are from me, and they have to be entrusted with the tail as a concubine.
Friendship and harmony, who knows each other in the middle and night?
The wings are flying high, and I don't feel that I think about the remaining sorrow. ”
My heart trembled, he, did he just chant Sima Xiangru's "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix"? He, is he showing love to me? I looked up in a panic, but it crashed straight into his eyes, and I was instantly overwhelmed by the deep gaze. No, no, how can I be fooled by him?! He, he's just missing his dead wife, who am I? I'm just a shadow of her! I inhaled deeply, rejecting the feeling in my heart, trying to admonish myself with reason.
I retracted my gaze, fixed my mind, got up and said with a smile: "Childe is so elegant, the "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" that I just played is really both physical and spiritual, touching and touching, and Rui'er admires it." ”
"What do you think of this song?" The corners of Bao Yuan's lips smiled, and there seemed to be two small flames dancing in his eyes.
"This Qu Gong plays very well, but Rui'er doesn't like it too much." I said such a terrible thing, and I still said something like that to him in the wrong way.
"If I say I play well, why don't I like it so much?" Bao Yuan raised his eyebrows and removed the smile from his face, "Isn't Miss Rui'er contradicting herself. ”
"Childe misunderstood, Rui'er doesn't dislike public playing, it's just that she never likes "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix"!"
"Why is that?"
I raised my hand and asked him to sit down, and Fang said slowly: "I want that Sima Xiangru, the song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" won Zhuo Wenjun's secret permission, and he eloped with him desperately, and he did not hesitate to sell wine just to stay with him. However, how did he know that he was disappointed by his infatuation, and wrote "Baitou Yin" in anger and broke off with him, and finally died of depression. "I have a clear sentence, but when I say it, my heart aches faintly, and when I say this, am I curing my anger with him?
"Oh, according to Rui'er's words, Sima Xiangru must be a ruthless and unrighteous villain, not worthy of Zhuo Wenjun's sacrifice and entrustment for life." The expression on Bao Yuan's face became more and more unnatural, and the hand on the table was also a little stiff.
"Exactly" Since I said it, I simply finished speaking, I got up and looked outside the pavilion, and said: "I was born in the music workshop, and I have heard a lot of men in the Qin Dusk Chu, and I am used to seeing benefactors who like the new and hate the old. I deeply feel that true love is rare in the red world, and true love is hard to find. ”
"Then girl, what kind of talent is worth entrusting?"
"I wish to have one heart, and my head will not be separated." The words came out loud, and I mustered up the courage to meet his gaze, but the moment my eyes met, I was stunned by the pain and entanglement in his eyes......
"Well, that's a good point." I don't know who clapped my hands and cheered, I suddenly turned around, only to see a man in green clothes standing in front of the pavilion, his eyes eager.
"Who? What a guts. Wang Zhaoyuan jumped out of the pavilion and grabbed the man.
"Stop." Bao Yuan drank Zhaoyuan, looked at the people carefully, and then said proudly: "It turned out to be Zhao Gongzi, why did you come here?" ”
The man in Tsing Yi pushed Wang Zhaoyuan away, strode forward and clasped his fists and said loudly: "It's really a sin to inadvertently disturb the son and the young lady's Yaxing. ”
"Zhao Gongzi is a distinguished guest, what a crime." Bao Yuan had returned to his usual detached and calm expression at this moment, and pointed to the man in green clothes and said to me: "Rui'er, this is Zhao Gongzi who saved you, you come to see you." ”
When I heard this, I hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute and thanked: "Little girl Fei Rui'er, thank you for sacrificing your life to save me a few days ago, please accept the little girl's worship." As he spoke, he turned down and bowed.
That Zhao Gongzi hurriedly stretched out his hand to block me, and said, "Girl, don't be like this, it's really tormented." ”
I still want to insist, but I was supported by Bao Yuan from behind, and I heard him whisper in his ear: "Rui'er, you have an injury on your foot, and it is really inconvenient to salute and thank you, so let's invite Zhao Gongzi to sit in the pavilion." With that, he took me back to the pavilion with half a support and half a hug.
I was about to speak, but I heard Bao Yuan say: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the sun, since Zhao Gongzi is here, I will arrange a banquet, first, to thank Zhao Gongzi for saving his life, and second, to wish Ruier and Zhao Gongzi physical recovery." As he spoke, he ignored the opinions of others, and ordered Wang Zhao to go to Zhang Luo.
After a short time, a small banquet was set up in the pavilion. Bao Yuan raised his glass and smiled: "Zhao Gongzi saved Rui'er, I am grateful, this cup should have been personally honored by Rui'er to Gongzi, but because she was injured and inconvenient to drink, she was drunk by the next generation." As he spoke, he raised his head and took a drink, and raised his eyes to look at the man in Tsing Yi.
Seeing this, Zhao Gongzi hurriedly raised his glass and drank it all.
I looked at his appearance carefully, about eighteen or nineteen years old, tall, square face, wide forehead, bright eyes under thick eyebrows, and some youthful air on his face, but his speech and demeanor were very bold, and there was a vague style of a general.
Thinking of the situation when he rescued him that day, and in order to deal with Bao Yuan, he ignored Bao Yuan's statement that he didn't let me drink, raised his glass and smiled at Zhao Gongzi: "Rui'er thank you for saving your life, and use this water and wine to show your respect." Saying that, he didn't care that Bao Yuan glared at me, and went straight to work, but he didn't want the wine to be too strong, so that I coughed and choked on tears.
"Okay, I'll drink." The man in Tsing Yi raised his glass and drank it all, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect the woman in Shuzhong to be so bold, I have never seen a woman like the girl." ”
"The son has won the award, please ask for the name of the public husband."
"Girl, don't be polite, my surname is Zhao Kuangyin, and I am a martial artist. It was just a coincidence that the girl was saved that day, so the girl should not be too worried. As he spoke, he reached out and scratched his head, revealing a smile that only a young man would have.
Zhao Kuangyin, this person has the same name as Song Taizu, I was stunned and surprised..... there was no language to express my mood at the moment for a while, would they be the same person? No, no, Zhao Kuangyin is a person from the Central Plains, how could it be, it shouldn't be, I tried my best to suppress the pounding heart, subconsciously picked up the wine in front of me, and drank it again.
"Rui'er......" Bao Yuan grabbed my hand, and his face was a little angry with unreasonable inquiry.
"Miss Rui'er, this wine is very strong, you should drink less." Zhao Kuangyin also spoke out to persuade him.
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay." I already felt that the whole person was a little drunk, but the mood became extremely good for no reason, and I ignored Bao Yuanhei's calm face, turned his head to look at Zhao Kuangyin and smiled sweetly: "Son's life-saving grace, Rui'er really can't repay it, so let's sing a song to cheer up the two sons, okay?" As he spoke, he took off the jade hairpin on his head, tapped the wine glass and sang:
The head of the White Emperor City is born in spring, and the Shujiang River is clear under the White Salt Mountain. The southerners came up to sing a song, and the northerners did not move their hometown.
The mountain rosette is full of flowers. The spring water of the Shu River beats the river. The bonus is easy to decay like Langyi, and the water flow is infinite like nong's sorrow.
Spring on the river comes with new rain and sunshine, and the spring water in Xiangxi is full of patterns. The east of the bridge and the west of the bridge are good willows, and people come and go to sing.
The willows are green and the river is horizontal, and the sound of singing on the shore is heard. The sun rises in the east and rains in the west, and the road is sunny but sunny.
A good bonus is easy to decay like Langyi, and the water flow is infinitely like nong's sorrow, but what do you say, "The sun rises in the east and rains in the west, and the road is sunny but sunny", hehe, hehe, hehe...... I tilted my head and drank another glass, and suddenly I only felt Bao Yuan's face shaking in front of my eyes, I reached out to caress it, but I felt that my hands and feet were no longer my own, and I seemed to murmur something to him, and then I didn't know anything in front of me......
