Chapter Twenty-Nine: Falling Flowers Are Intentional
The sound of the piano is like water, murmuring constantly, tactful and melodious, melodious. I saw a few green jade fingers gently twisting the strings, and the sound of the piano was graceful, stretching the song "Sunset Drum" like a picture. Chu He was obsessed with hearing this, and couldn't help but stop the fine work in his hand, and got up to tell the maid who was sweeping outside the door not to be noisy, for fear of disturbing this beautiful melody. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the heavenly music with all her heart, and she didn't even notice that Youhan had come in. The people who play in the house are qualitative, and the people who listen outside the house are in love, sometimes brisk, sometimes euphemistic, ups and downs, each with its own characteristics.
"Five ladies." Youhan saw Shaohua enjoying himself so much, and he couldn't bear to disturb him, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't see the music pause, and finally couldn't help but speak. Unexpectedly, this sound disturbed Shaohua, and he missed his hand and almost cut his fingers, so frightened that Chu He hurriedly ran forward.
turned around and scolded the weak-hearted Youhan: "Why don't you come in and say it first, it will scare people to make such a sudden noise." Seeing Shaohua shaking her head, she checked her fingers again to make sure that she was safe and sound, and the big stone in her heart settled.
Youhan was a little innocent, pouting, and depressed: she had already greeted Chuhe when she came in, but she listened too attentively and didn't notice it.
"What's the matter?" Shaohua looked up and asked.
"Young Master Yichen has been waiting in the courtyard for a long time, I want to come in and report, but Young Master Yichen didn't let me disturb." Youhan said softly.
Shaohua paused, how could Yichen come and listen to her playing the pipa silently in her courtyard? Shaohua handed the pipa to Chu He and hesitated for a moment, "How can Brother Yichen come in?" "Although it is the current trend that there is no requirement that the lady who has not left the cabinet cannot see a foreign man, it is not open enough to let people in casually.
When Chu He saw Shaohua looking over, he was shocked, and immediately shook his head and glared at Youhan. Youhan was thrown away by Chu He, and waved his hand in hindsight: "I, I don't know, please Wu Niangzi to find out, I have never interacted with the people in Yan Niangzi's courtyard again." Youhan was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground, and Chuhe also knelt down, but Shaohua was startled. She was just curious about how Yichen got into Biwuxuan, but they thought that Shaohua had reprimanded them for contacting outsiders, so they hurriedly begged for mercy.
"Get up, I don't blame you, I just wonder that the fourth brother hasn't entered Biwuxuan, how can Brother Yichen come in." The two glanced at each other, and saw that Shaohua's face was not displeased, and then they got up tremblingly.
Chu He bowed down and replied cautiously: "Biwu Xuan is a place for ladies to live, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter." The second lady gave birth to a lady in the house, and even the eldest lady never entered Biwuxuan, so the fourth young master naturally would not come. Hachiro had been here a few times, but he had his own residence and rarely came in. Maybe it was because Yan Niangzi moved in, so the eldest lady instructed the mother who guarded the door to let her in. ”
When Shaohua heard this, he nodded understandingly, "Then what is he doing here, Sister Yan Sui's yard is next door." That being said, Shaohua had already gotten up and asked Chu He to help sort out his clothes and makeup, and then he walked out of his dress.
Yichen was dressed in a neat blue robe, standing in the courtyard, with his hands behind his back, quite like a jade tree in the wind.
"Brother Yichen, ten thousand blessings." Shaohua lifted the corner of her skirt and walked over and saluted Yichen. I saw that his eyes were bright, looking at Shaohua, and his face did not hide a touch of joy. Shaohua frowned slightly, and said again: "Why did Brother Yichen have time to come today, is he here to find Sister Yansui?" ”
Seeing that Shaohua didn't want to invite him into the house at all, Yichen was a little stunned and said, "No, it's okay, it's just that I was fascinated by the sound of the fifth sister's piano, and I couldn't leave." His eyes swept the figures of Youhan Chuhe behind Shaohua and did not move, so he had to clear his throat and raised his voice: "I once read 'The big strings are noisy like torrential rain, and the small strings are cut like whispers. Noisy and staggered, big beads and small beads fall on the jade plate. I've heard of it before, so I don't think so, but now I think it's wonderful. ”
"Brother Yichen praised it falsely." Shaohua said lightly.
"What I said is true, I am used to listening to the piano and drums, but the first time I heard the pipa, it was like heaven." Yichen anxiously defended.
Shaohua glanced out of the courtyard, and suddenly looked forward to Wanhua or Jinhua passing by, and wondered what the purpose of his coming here was today, and considered whether it was better to close the door directly to send off the guests, or let a maid go out to move the rescuers. She didn't dislike Yichen, except for that one outing, most of the other times she met in a hurry and just gave up. It's not annoying, it's not good, anyway, she has already persuaded the Ling family, and she has put the marriage of the Liu family in her heart at all.
It's just that Yichen didn't know the mood of the beauty, and he still talked about it. There was no order in the clan, but he knew that if he was successful, he would be the prospective son-in-law of the Li family. Since he first saw the Shaohua sisters, he has been interested in them, and compared with Wanhua's generosity, he is more attracted to Shaohua's straightforwardness. It's just that his studies are tight, but the gentleman who is a boudoir is temporarily on leave and travels away, so he wants to take a detour, and he doesn't have the opportunity to see the beautiful woman.
Seeing that the scientific expedition was ahead, the master gave them a few days off, and Si Yan ran away early. He was sleepy when he read the book, and wanted to come out to relax, but unexpectedly he came all the way to Biwuxuan, and it was even more difficult for the mother who was guarding the door to be Liu's person, so she didn't stop him at all.
"In a few days, it will be autumn, Brother Yichen still focuses on his studies, and it is better to review more." Shaohua's patience is about to be polished.
Yi Chen listened to her cold tone, his face was a little unbearable, he suppressed the helplessness in his heart, and said cheekily: "What the fifth sister said is, it's just that the fifth sister promised to write us a word before. I'm about to take the exam.,I want to use my fifth sister's ink treasure to increase my luck.。 ”
Shaohua didn't expect him to find such a reason, and since she came back from going out, she had long forgotten about it. Now hearing Yichen say this, she is a little embarrassed. "I forgot about it. Why don't I finish writing it and let Yuhan send it over? ”
"If it's convenient, you can write it now." Seeing Shaohua smile, Yichen was a little nervous.
Youhan looked at Shaohua, his brows rose and fell, his face was heavy and calm, obviously he had no interest in Yichen. Thinking of the mistakes he had made before, Youhan strengthened his courage, stepped forward, and whispered to Shaohua: "Wu Niangzi, didn't you say that you want to invite Yan Niangzi over, or I will urge me now?" The volume was not loud, just enough for Yichen to hear.
Shaohua's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but be impressed by Youhan, so he pretended to be calm and said: "It's okay, by the way, tell Sister Yansui that Brother Yichen is here, let her come over quickly." When Youhan received the affirmation of his master, he immediately saluted them happily and left in a hurry. Stretched out his hand to summon Chu He, and asked her to move the four treasures of the study to the courtyard, and then said to Yichen: "Lonely men and widows, it is inconvenient to invite Brother Yichen into the house, and please forgive Brother Yichen." Since Brother Yichen doesn't dislike it, then I'll write in this courtyard, but I don't know what to write? ”
Between the words, there were already two little maids who brought out a Huanghuali chuck tenon book case, the tooth board wall was in the shape of a cirrus cloud, the four legs were strong and solid, and the texture was clearly recognizable. Chu He listed the pen, ink, paper and inkstone one by one, selected a piece of fragrant ink, and carefully studied it. Shaohua took the pen, dipped it in ink, and stopped at the desk to look at him.
"It's good to write anything." Yi Chen saw Shaohua holding the Zihao pen he gave him, and he was pleasantly surprised.
Shaohua paused, didn't ask any more, picked up the pen, and worked hard to write. Holding a pen in one hand and holding a sleeve in the other, his slender and white wrist is slightly exposed, and the flowing clouds are very beautiful. Yi Chen looked at her delicate face with calm and solemn eyes, her eyes were like torches, and her people were as light as chrysanthemums, and she couldn't help but feel a little distracted.
Shaohua wrote a total of two pairs, respectively to Si Yan and Yi Chen, both of which imply high ascension, regardless of priority. simply wrote a pair for Wanhua, Yan Sui, and Jinhua, and when people next to her asked, they wouldn't think that she was losing her manners.
Seeing Shaohua engrossed in writing, Yichen stepped forward, took the fragrant ink from Chu He's hand, and sharpened the ink for her.
"Good calligraphy!" Yichen praised from the bottom of his heart.
At this time, Shaohua realized that he was so close to him, the words had been written, and he didn't have time to stop writing, so after a pause, a drop of ink fell, ruining a copybook. Seeing that Shaohua looked displeased and was about to rub it off, Yichen hurriedly stopped him and said, "Fifth sister, don't throw it, just give me this one." ”
"This one is invalid." Shaohua said puzzledly, "What is Brother Yichen going to do?" ”
"Today, it is rare to hear that the cloud scroll is rare, and it is difficult to buy a single stroke, not to mention that it was written by the fifth sister, even if it is graffiti, it is precious." Yi Chen took the calligraphy as if it were a treasure, and sighed: "I heard someone say in Yueyuan Teahouse before, Yan Guards want to use their daughter to find Mrs. Xuan's "Dizang Sutra", and the fifth sister is afraid that this method is not too much to be true. ”
"What did you say?" Shaohua was stunned for a moment and asked urgently.
Yi Chen was frightened by her hurried tone, thought he was displeased, and defended: "I don't mean anything else, I just think that the word Fifth Sister is written very beautifully." ”
"No, I'm asking you the last question." Shaohua was a little nervous.
"Even graffiti?" Yichen was confused, it shouldn't be this sentence.
"No, no, you just said that Yan Guard? Yan Kaizhi? What's wrong with him, have you seen him? The pink fists in his sleeves were clenched, his face bloomed with a bright demeanor, and a pair of bright autumn pupils were dazzling, looking straight at Yi Chen.
Yi Chen was a little surprised by her eager and enthusiastic eyes, and the deer in his heart was smashed, he opened his eyes awkwardly, and nodded, "I've met a few times, but I haven't talked to each other, just drinking tea together." "Strictly speaking, it's just a passing by.
But this kind of information was enough for Shaohua to make her excited, it turned out that she was so close to Yan Kaizhi, she was a little overwhelmed with excitement. As everyone knows, the appearance of excitement and happiness falls into the eyes of others, which is almost fascinating.
"Then I, if I help copy a copy of the "Dizang Sutra", can Brother Yichen help me hand it over to him?" Suddenly, Shaohua felt that Yichen looked very kind, and spoke to him much softer, "I heard that Mrs. Xingyong is also good at pipa, and she has always been yearning for it, so she can't see him." If I can copy the Jizo Sutra for my wife, I will be willing. Shaohua smiled softly, his cheeks were slightly fluttering, his teeth were white and his lips were red, which was like a national color.
Shaohua's far-fetched rhetoric was the truth for Yi Chen, and he couldn't bear to say no to her bright eyes and bright teeth.
"Then I can't go out until I'm done with the exam." Yichen was stared at by her big eyes full of expectation, and he didn't dare to face it. "Otherwise, the fifth sister will copy it first, and then take you out after I finish the exam."
"Really? Brother Yichen, you're so good. Shaohua swept away Fang Cai's coldness and gloom, and almost jumped up happily.
Yi Chen didn't care about what she said at all, but felt that Shaohua's smile was bright, so bright that it made him feel uneasy.
