Chapter 21 Qingqing Zijin
Just as the three of them were going to the front hall, Liu Che'er inadvertently saw the painting Shu kneeling beside him, and immediately stopped in surprise, and couldn't help but marvel at his beautiful face, "You are the painting face, right?" Flat, let's all get up. ”
Only then did Hua Shu get up and salute respectfully, "Back to the prince, Hua Yan is the sister of the courtier, and the courtier's name is Hua Shu." ”
"It turned out to be Miss Painting, but I recognized the wrong person." It is not difficult to see that Liu Che'er's face seems to have a slightly disappointed look.
"Please forgive the prince, I just learned that the prince is coming, and I haven't had time to convene the whole house, the youngest daughter is painting her face in the back room, and now I'm afraid I don't know the arrival of the prince, so there is no her in the worship." Drawing Xia Shan leaned over and said.
"It's okay, let's discuss the matter first."
"Yes, lord, please."
This side of the painting Xia Shan introduced the king of Yidu into the hall, and the long talk of serving tea was not said for the time being, and it was said that there were a few more guests outside the door of the painting mansion.
It turned out that the shepherd mother learned that Huayan was going to the palace to perform, so she wanted to select a few dancers from the Forgotten Dust Building to help Huayan, and after getting permission to communicate with Huayan, she sent them to the painting house early in the morning.
According to the rules of the Forgotten Dust Building, the five girls went out to the street and covered them with veils, and the leader was Lin Yunrou.
It is not unusual for women to go out to cover their faces, but their clothing styles are different from those worn by ordinary people, and the new style of braiding hair has really attracted a lot of attention, which is also all from the hands of the painter.
Lin Yunrou automatically asked for help this time, and she really wanted to see with her own eyes the difference between the legendary Su Lao's new disciples. Although her family is in the middle of the road, a few months ago, she has always been the eldest lady of the Jin family who is high up and flattered. In Kyoto, she is also a famous talented woman, and she is also a figure that literati have to boast about when they talk about her, how can she be willing to become a dancer in a teahouse. This time she had the opportunity to enter the palace, of course she wanted to take the opportunity to perform well. Moreover, she heard rumors that the painting face was ugly and illiterate, and another purpose of coming to the painting house this time was to reveal the true face of the painting.
Lin Yunrou and others came to the door of the painting house to hand the worship post to the doorman, just by the passing Xin Qiao to see, seeing that it was the shepherd to come to the post, so he led the five people to walk towards the bath flower stream, of course, from the dust floor with the transfer of manpower, Mrs. Painting has already agreed.
Lin Yunrou followed behind Xinqiao, and followed all the way to the small pond near the bathing flower stream, and she had curiously looked at all the scenes she could see in the painting house. Let people spread the gods of the big people in the painting house, the place where they live is just like this, there are only a few ordinary houses, the house design and furnishings in the house, are less than half of the dust building, and it is not as good as her own mansion in the past.
"Qingqing Zijin, relax my heart. Even if I don't go, Zining won't make a sound? Qingqingzi Pei, I think about it. Even if I don't go, Zining won't come? Picky and embarrassed, in the city. Not seen for a day, like March. ”
Just as she and the others stopped, waiting for Xinqiao to go to the bathing flower stream to report the gap, they heard the sound of a woman playing the piano and saying words from a distance.
The beautiful sound of the piano, the moving singing voice, and the rhythmic lyrics combine into a beautiful music.
Lin Yunrou couldn't help but exclaim, "There are people in the world who can play such a beautiful piano sound and have such a good singing voice." ”
When Xin happened to come back, she heard it, so she led them to look in the direction she had guided, and replied with a smile: "There is really such a person in this world, and lo and behold, that is the second lady of my family." ”
It turned out that in the small pavilion on the other side of the pond, there was a woman in apricot clothes who was stroking the qin, and the sound of heaven just now came from her, just by seeing her back and her slender white jade-like fingers, she felt a fairy aura welcoming people.
And the apricot woman who stroked the qin was the painting face.
What she saw and heard today, Lin Yunrou had to admit that those rumors were not true, and she couldn't help but feel jealous.
Since Huayan returned home from the grass house that night, he has stopped for several days, and he doesn't want to go out of the house to play secretly, but only stays in the Taishou Mansion every day to play the piano and compose poems. This doesn't seem to look like the style of painting Yan, how can Mrs. Hua and her eldest sister watch very closely after returning home from visiting relatives, she has to pretend obediently.
"You can come with me to see my second lady, but don't make a sound when the meeting passes, my young lady doesn't like others to disturb when she plays the piano." After Xin Qiao's order, she led Lin Yunrou and the others to the small pavilion by the pond and asked them to wait outside the pavilion, while she slowly walked to the pavilion and whispered, "Miss, someone has been brought." ”
"Let them all go back." He didn't raise his head, but stroked the strings and said.
"But miss, don't you need them to dance?"
"No, I've made another arrangement."
"Yes, miss."
Huayan originally wanted to arrange a few backup dances for her performance program according to the advice of the shepherd, but she temporarily changed her mind, she has always disliked bells and whistles, and this time she decided to arrange it according to her own preferences.
It's good to play a song quietly, there are so many tricks, others look lively, and her ears can't stand it.
Lin Yunrou listened to the conversation between the two of them, and couldn't help but sink her heart, she finally had the opportunity to enter the palace, and maybe she could meet the emperor in person, but now she didn't even see the front of the painting, so she was dismissed, how could she stop there. She stepped forward and bowed her head and said, "Jin Yan has seen Miss Hua. Lin Yunrou learned that Miss Painting was going to the palace to perform in two days, and she was willing to make a modest contribution to Miss Painting. ”
Hua Yan finally put down his hand to play the piano and asked, "Wan Rou?" ”
Lin Yunrou saw that Miss Hua Er noticed her, and was about to take a step closer to answer with joy, but she heard Hua Yan say again.
"Miss Lin is the pillar of the Forgotten Dust Building, she doesn't stay in the Forgotten Dust Building, what are you doing here with me?"
Huayan was a little angry, the current business of Forget Dust Building finally stabilized, so she let go of her hand so easily and ignored Forget Dust Building. Miss Lin, who is arrogant on weekdays, is now rushing to come to the painting house just to be a backup dancer, I'm afraid she still wants to expose the ugly appearance of the painting. Moreover, she wanted to take this opportunity to further contact Liu Che'er, and it was not that she didn't know about her face, but she was not satisfied with her reputation by using her own momentum.
Listening to the tone of the painting was so heavy, it made Lin Yunrou, who met for the first time, a little confused, "Wanrou just came to help Miss Hua......"
Before Lin Yunrou finished speaking, Hua Yan replied coldly: "Miss Lin really regards herself as sacred?" I don't need your turn to help me yet, please come back. ”
Huayan never looked back at her from beginning to end.
Although Lin Yunrou is in the middle of the road, although her identity in front of everyone is not as respected as before, she has always been protected by the eighth master in the Forgotten Dust Building, no one dares to pour cold water on her like now, and in front of so many girls, Lin Yunrou, who is arrogant for a while, is not frustrated.
Xin Qiao saw that her young lady was starting to be a little annoyed, so she hurriedly walked away with the five people. Lin Yunrou, who was following behind, was still unwilling, and even hated, she didn't hate others, but resented herself for being reduced to the point of being humble. was also too emotional, Lin Yunrou's thin body couldn't support the trembling, and she was about to fall down after taking two steps, and the veil on her face fell off, and the most terrible thing was that the pond was next to Lin Yunrou.
"Miss Lin, are you okay?"
At this time, Liu Che'er rushed over from not far away, and he hurriedly stepped forward to put his arms around her shoulders, so that he was spared.
Lin Yunrou, who turned around, was already pale at this time, trembling so much that she couldn't even say a word.
It turned out that after Liu Che'er discussed the disaster with Hua Xia Shan, he suddenly smelled a burst of tulips and was very curious, so he was led by Hua Xia Shan to watch the osmanthus all the way. They also saw the piano and singing lyrics of Huayan just now, as well as the conversation with Lin Yunrou, but because the distance was a little far, and Huayan was facing away from them, they didn't see the true face of Huayan.
When Lin Yunrou saw the prince coming, she regained consciousness, and hurriedly tidied up her hair and clothes, cleaned up her face, and bowed tremblingly.
"Wan Rou has seen the prince." Lin Yunrou reluctantly gave a salute.
"Miss Wan, are you unwell? Let the king take you back to your residence and call the doctor for you to take a look? Liu Che'er asked with concern.
"Wouldn't that be too troublesome, the little girl is already feeling better." Having said that, Lin Yunrou's face showed a different look, but her body was already weak, and after this fright, the expression on her face was probably half true.
Seeing Lin Yunrou's weak appearance, Liu Che'er didn't pity her, "How can it be troublesome, hurry, prepare the car." ”
Hearing the instructions of King Yidu, he didn't dare to slack off, and personally went to the garage to arrange the car to wait at the door.
Liu Che'er helped Lin Yunrou into the carriage, and didn't care about saying anything to the others, so he ordered the coachman to drive away.
She got up and was about to walk towards the noisy place, but suddenly saw Liu Che'er suddenly appear from among the flowers, and immediately stopped her steps.
"How could he be here?! ......" Huayan couldn't help but exclaim, and quickly covered his face with his sleeves.
Huayan hurriedly exited the pavilion and walked towards the bath flower stream from another place.
When Huayan returned to the house to make sure that he hadn't attracted their attention, he put his mind at ease, if they really saw his face, and then connected himself to the eighth master, I don't know if he would notice anything. It's better to stay away, otherwise it will be in vain for her hard work to create the role of the eighth master, her industry is mainly based on the eighth master, if it is not feasible to break through as a woman after all, and if her father and mother know, then she will never want to step out of the door half a step.
On weekdays, the painting house has almost no contact with those high-ranking officials and nobles in the officialdom, and I don't know why Liu Che'er suddenly came here today. It wasn't until Xinqiao came back and explained the reason to her that she figured it out.
"Miss, I heard that the king of Yidu came today, firstly, to reward the emperor with imperial wine, and secondly, to discuss the Jiangling disaster."
"I see. But how could the emperor suddenly send the prince to do this? Painted Yan pondered.
"Since the king of Yidu is here, why hasn't anyone come to pay respects?"
"At that time, the prince came suddenly, and before the adults could summon him, the prince had already arrived at the door, so only the people in the front hall went to pay respects. Later, the prince had a good conversation with the adults, so he did not disturb anyone. Because when the prince arrived at the house, Sheng Lan was in front of him to deliver things to the eldest lady, so he didn't dare to leave without permission until now. ”
"Okay, I got it." Huayan thought about it for a while, and then pulled Xinqiao and said, "Qiao'er, you said he shouldn't have seen me, right?" ”
"I must not have seen it, I saw that it was so far away, and there were so many bushes in the way, it was not so easy to see."
Huayan exhaled lightly, "That's good." ”
