Chapter 40: Marry Me

At that glance, I wanted to see the depths of his eyes, and I heard that it was where a person's true soul resided.

It seemed that there was also a warm fire in his eyes, and at that time I thought I had the same wish as him.

In the blink of an eye, the beginning of life ushered in, and compared to the strangeness and anxiety of the first semester, I was much calmer.

And since the last incident with my sister-in-law, she doesn't seem to be bothering me anymore.

I am also happy to be quiet, there is no deep hatred between the two people, as if they can get along well, then get along well.

In the new semester, a female classmate was transferred, and when she introduced herself, she felt very introverted and a little gloomy.

The teacher glanced at the classroom and pointed to the empty seat next to me: "Sunai, you can sit next to Lingsheng." Also, you should cut your bangs and cover your eyes. ”

Sunai glanced at me through her bangs, and for some reason at such a distance, I saw a flash of horror in her eyes.

She shuddered. Standing on the podium, he didn't come for a long time.

Don't...... Can she see?!

I almost subconsciously glanced at the side, Mr. Chu didn't come out, so what was she afraid of?

It seemed like she struggled for a long time before she slowly walked to the seat next to me and sat down.

I smiled at her and wanted to show my friendliness.

"Hello, I'm Zhang Lingsheng."

She seemed surprised that someone would take the initiative to deal with her, so she turned her head to look at me, ignored me, and took out a new textbook.

He's a bit of a strange person, who doesn't seem to be sociable better than me.

After a few days at the same table, I found that her academic performance was very good, and she could easily solve even the most difficult questions.

"That...... Sunai, I would like to ask you how to do this question? Can you teach me? ”

She didn't seem to hear it, and I stopped being bored, and when I went back to do my homework, I found a small note in my math book.

What was written on it was the answer to the question I asked, and at first I thought it was Chu Nantang.

"Thank you Nantang, you bothered you to write down the process of answering on a note."

Chu Nantang raised his head from the book, stepped forward in surprise, took the note from my hand and said, "It's Sunai's handwriting." ”

"She?"

I couldn't believe it: "But she doesn't seem to want to pay attention to me." ”

Chu Nantang sighed lightly: "It's not that she doesn't want to ignore you, she doesn't want to pay attention to anyone." ”

"Why?"

"Well, you'll have to ask her personally. But ......"

Chu Nantang paused: "Maybe you have sensed the breath of death brought by her." ”

It turns out that the feeling of depression is the breath of death?

"It seems that there is a reason why she suddenly changed schools."

"Probably, she doesn't want to approach anyone, so she naturally has her reasons."

His implication is probably to tell me not to meddle in things.

I changed the subject: "It's been a few days since school started, why don't you see Xiaobai?" ”

Xiaobai's nickname is that I followed Chu Nantang to call Shunyu, and after calling Shun Kou, I couldn't change it again.

"Xiaobai is sick." Chu Nantang leisurely sat back in the sofa chair and continued to flip through the book in his hand.

"How do you know?" My hand on my homework paused, and I turned my head to ask him.

"While you're in class, go out and hang out for a while." Chu Nantang seemed to think of something, and added: "Do you miss him?" ”

I twitched the corners of my mouth: "What do I want him to do?" ”

"Also, Xiaobai is sometimes too noisy, and he doesn't feel much quieter." said. He sighed faintly.

It feels like Chu Nantang is a little lonely and bored.

So I added, "Why don't we go see him tomorrow?" ”

He smiled: "It's okay, after all, we know each other and have some friendship." ”

Sometimes I feel that Chu Nantang is very awkward, and it's not a shame to miss someone, right?

Mr. Shen is now my guardian, and I should always tell him where I am going, and get permission from others.

When I heard that I was going to see a sick friend, he asked me if I had enough pocket money and bought a fruit basket. He also asked Weber to accompany him.

I was a little frightened, so I simply looked at my sick friend and didn't have to go through such a big deal.

"Mr. Shen, no need. Xiaobai and I don't see each other that much, I'll see that he'll come back. ”

"Then let the driver take you there."

This time, I really couldn't refuse him anymore, so I had to let Mr. Driver send it. Bought a fruit basket on the way.

According to the address given by Bai Yiqing before, the driver went around for a long time before he found his home.

When I saw the independent European-style bungalow in front of me, I blinked, the feeling is still the young master of the rich family??

"Miss Lingsheng, it should be here."

"Ah, thank you, I'll just go in by myself, Mr. Trouble will wait outside for a while."

"Okay."

I got out of the car with Chu Nantang, and rang the doorbell for a long time before someone came to open the door.

When he saw that it was us, he was surprised for a while and quickly invited us into the house.

Scratching a messy hair, he muttered in annoyance: "I thought it was a door-to-door salesman." ”

Chu Nantang calmly found a comfortable corner and sat down, and said playfully: "It seems that you are deeply troubled by this." ”

Bai Yiqing smiled awkwardly: "Grandpa Zu, you should say hello before you come, I should also clean up the house, and there is also my own image problem." ”

"Xiaobai, you don't have to see too much, anyway, what are you like, don't Nantang and I know it?"

Bai Yiqing sniffed, wanting to cry without tears: "My impression in your heart is so bad?" ”

Chu Nantang looked around the house and said absentmindedly: "It's a little ...... Your house is good, the Quartet accepts qi, and the spiritual side is a great help to health preservation, and it is a good location to prolong life. ”

Bai Yiqing seemed to have discovered a new world, and stepped forward and asked in disbelief: "Really?" ”

Chu Nantang smiled and didn't answer him again.

"Xiaobai, do you live alone?"

Bai Yiqing rubbed her blocked nose and was a little melancholy: "My parents are divorced." Left this house, and now I live alone. ”

I suddenly feel that the most extreme side of a person is actually some of the things he lacks the most.

"If you have any difficulties in the future, just talk to me and Nantang, maybe you can help!"

Bai Yiqing's eyes were red, he pursed his lips and nodded, squeezing out a big smile: "It's good to know you and Grandpa Zu, it's rare that I'm sick, and someone still remembers it." ”

"If you're sick, just go to bed and lie down. Lingsheng and I went first. ”

Bai Yiqing sent us to the door, and I told him to go back to the room and lie down.

Along the way, Chu Nantang seemed to be thinking about something, and he looked preoccupied.

"Nantang, what's wrong with you?"

"I just think it's a little weird."

"What's weird?"

Chu Nantang sighed secretly, thought for a while and said, "It seems that it makes sense, but it seems that everything looks strange." I only felt the breath of Xiaobai in that house, he said that his parents were divorced, even if they were once family, there should not be no trace left. ”

"Perhaps, this house has not been inhabited before. Was it handed over to him after his parents divorced? ”

Chu Nantang smiled and said, "Maybe I'm too sensitive." ”

"Hmm."

Although the doubts after this explanation are gone, it is always like leaving a small mark on the heart, and if you don't care, this mark will be quickly erased.

In the second year of high school, I was going to face a class assignment, and Chu Nantang said that my math grades were not satisfactory, so it was better to choose liberal arts.

I nodded and accepted his advice. And Chang Zhi doesn't seem to be interested in studying, she dresses herself up beautifully every day. said he wanted to be a big star.

Mr. Shen looked at her with a headache, so he gave Gu Xi and Wei Bo full authority.

Fortunately, Gu Xi and I look indifferent, and I am not such a mean person in my bones, and I treat Chang Zhi with one eye and one eye closed.

The days seem to be very peaceful, but under this calm, I always feel a strong sense of unease.

I don't know what this uneasiness is and where it comes from? All I know is that what can't be changed, it takes time to get used to.

For a long time, I didn't dream of the woman who wore a red cheongsam and always combed my hair behind my back.

But every time I think about it, it always makes me sad for no reason.

Exquisite dice and red beans, do you know the lovesickness in the bones......

"Madam, aren't you lovesick?" Chu Nantang took the poems I wrote down one by one and 'appreciated' them for a long time.

My heart jumped, and I pounced to get it back, but he deflected and hugged me in his arms.

"Madame's love poem, I accepted it, and in return, Madame can also ask me for something."

I just felt my cheeks burn and pushed him away slightly: "You always like to tease me!" Why don't you play tricks on people? ”

He replied with a serious face: "I don't like other people, why do I play tricks on them?" ”

"You ......"

"Madam, the way you blush, it's beautiful."

"Chu Nantang, you are so annoying!"

He smiled lowly, "Well, even if you hate me so much now, I'll disappear, you do your homework." ”

"I'm not ......" bastard! Disappear so fast!

A few days after the start of school, he was targeted. That person was none other than Xiang He, who met Xiang He at the dinner that day.

"Lingsheng, please wait a minute."

Seeing that I was running around the road to avoid her, she chased after her, and seeing that she couldn't hide, I could only turn around and smile at her: "Teacher Xiang, is there something wrong?" ”

"One thing I mentioned to you a few years ago, I have a blood Tan Nanzheng there, I don't know if you have time today?"

"This ...... I'm busy with my schoolwork, so why don't I do it another day? ”

She covered her bright red lips and smiled: "You really don't want to take a look?" At least ......"

She suddenly leaned into my ear and said, "It's a very important thing for that person." ”

I looked up at her suddenly, "You...... Can you see it? ”

"Hehehe, yes, I can see it. Isn't he with you now? But you've been together for so long, and you're probably able to connect hearts. ”

After hesitating for a long time, his heart was already clear, and he said, "I'll accompany you on a trip." ”

"My car is over there, let's walk to the car."

"Okay."

He went to her piano shop, which was a very temperamental and elegant piano shop, the style was antique, and the decoration of the room was fine mahogany.

She sells musical instruments with Chinese characteristics, such as erhu, pipa, northern zheng, southern zheng, and gonghou...... Wait a minute.

In the center of the hall is a large screen. On the silk curtain of the screen is a picture of 'mountains and rivers in the clear autumn and bright moon'.

The style of painting is a little familiar, and the words are mentioned next to it, which is magnificent, and the pen is vigorous, which is very shocking.

"Is it pretty?"

I nodded: "Nice, who drew this?" ”

Xiang He said: "You guess. ”

I suddenly looked up at her: "Could it be ......?"

She smiled lightly, turned around and walked to the stairs: "I'll take you to see the southern zither." ”

I went up to the attic with her, and I liked the dΓ©cor so much that I wouldn't have been able to get this rich and elegant style if it weren't for my deep knowledge and study of Chinese culture.

Every instrument here looks very valuable and is very well preserved, especially the bloody sandalwood zither that sits in the center of the attic.

It's not just that the workmanship is excellent, but the material of blood sandalwood has long been extremely rare, and the totem carved on it should be a phoenix map, mentioning a few lines.

Life and death are broad, and Zicheng said.

Hold the hand of the son, and grow old with the son.

Yu is broad, not I live.

Yu Xun Xi, I don't believe it.

The handwriting is familiar. So I quickly thought that this line of words was probably engraved by Chu Nantang himself back then.

I looked at the piano, and many long-ago pictures came to my mind, the man was dressed in white like snow, accompanied by the breeze and the bright moon, composing a song of prosperity in troubled times, and burying the success or failure of a lifetime of fame.

Xiang He said suddenly: "I remember when I first saw him playing the qin, these lines were not mentioned on it, and these words were mentioned by him later." There are many legends, some people say that Chu Gongzi has a happy person. But he couldn't. Others say that his beloved is dead, so he is widowed and no longer wants to live......"

"Ah, that's how it was passed down in later generations?" Suddenly, an exclamation rang out from behind us.

Xiang He and I subconsciously turned our heads to look, not knowing when Chu Nantang came over.

He stepped forward, caressed the strings lovingly, and suddenly owed to He: "To Gongzi Chu, greetings." ”

Chu Nantang raised his eyelids and said casually: "I died early in the morning, so this set is avoided." ”

"You're still the same, don't look at people properly."

Xiang He's enchanting and charming body was pasted up, and Chu Nantang blocked it without a trace: "It's not suitable for children, or don't want it?" ”

"Hehehehe...... Chu Gongzi spoke with a lot of humor. ”

He pretended to sigh, and stroked the strings with his fingertips: "Old antiques are easy to dislike, and they should keep pace with the times." ”

"By the way, we were talking about it just now, I don't know what these lines of words you mentioned on the qin, I don't know what they mean?"

Chu Nantang stared at the zither with warm eyes, and coughed lightly: "Is it very important?" ”

"Actually, it's not very important, but people's inferior nature, after all, they like to get to the bottom of it."

Chu Nantang really recalled it with a serious face, and said: "I drank wine that day, I was drunk, and I didn't know how to scratch a mark on my piano, I was distressed for a long time, so in order to cover up this mark, I mentioned a line of words." At that time, I didn't know what to mention, but I was seeing the poetry on the case, a casual thing. ”

"Oh, it turns out that Young Master Chu will also have a time when he is drunk?" Xiang He smiled meaningfully at him.

"Don't you know me well? How do you know I won't get drunk? ”

Xiang He smiled bitterly: "How can you talk about understanding?" Young Master Chu, your status was honorable back then, and I could only look at you from afar. Just look at the way you look, not like an indulgent person. ”

"No matter how honorable it is, after a hundred years, it will only be an embryo of loess."

"Why should Young Master Chu be arrogant? How can a man like you be compared to the worldly things? A hundred years later, Chu Gongzi is still the same as he was back then. ”

Chu Nantang couldn't cry or laugh: "What is a vulgar thing? How can he who is born in the world be spared from the world? You've thought too highly of me, and now I'm just a lonely soul. ”

"In Ah He's eyes, no matter what Gongzi Chu becomes, it is the dream I have been chasing all my life."

I secretly took a deep breath, Chu Nantang was confessed by a crazy secret admirer?

Chu Nantang's indifferent appearance seems to have received confessions often and is used to it.

It's just that those bright and bright eyes looked at the guzheng and said, "Thank you Miss Ahe for guarding this piano for me for so many years, you can say the conditions." ”

"Ah He didn't ask for anything else, just asked Chu Gongzi to play another song for Ah He. Aha asked for nothing more. ”

"Is that all?"

Xiang He smiled with relief: "That's it, for me, I have returned my long-cherished wish in this life." ”

Chu Nantang began to think about it at this time, but he really couldn't remember this person for a while, so he asked: "I really can't remember, where have I seen you, I'm sorry." ”

Xiang He didn't care: "Of course you don't remember me, I was only seven or eight years old at the time, and you were just a young boy." At that time, you still had braids. ”

Chu Nantang sighed: "It has indeed been many, many years. ”

Xiang He said again: "The family was flooded at that time, and my father and mother sold me to Yihong Courtyard in order to live.

At that time, Chu Gongzi was on the way back from the disaster relief with your grandfather, you found me, took me in for the night, and saw that I was afraid, so you played a tune for me, I don't remember that tune very well, but I have been pursuing it all my life. ”

"I seem, somewhat impressed. But I don't quite remember what I played for you at that time, and even if we were fated, then I would play another song for you, but your long-cherished wish was fulfilled. ”

"Thank you, Master Chu."

The dim sum word burned incense, the green smoke curled up, Chu Nantang sat in front of the piano case with his eyes down, and his slender ten fingers plucked the strings leisurely.

He enjoyed the process very much, as if he had no external objects, and entered a world in which only the sound of the piano accompanied him.

Such a Chu Nantang is close in front of him but unreachable, unattainable. The light of your eyes flows, and you inadvertently gently caress the strings in your heart.

A light smile at the corner of his lips stained his eyebrows. It's flawless. I seem to be able to understand why that song will make a woman remember it for more than 100 years.

The aftermath dissipated leisurely, and the song came to an end, and Chu Nantang returned from his world to this mundane matter.

Satisfied, he hugged the love object in front of him, and nodded to Xiang He: "Miss Ahe, thank you." ”

Xiang He came back to his senses from the loss and smiled in disappointment: "Young Master Chu, can I ask you one last question?" ”

Chu Nantang looked embarrassed. Touching the piano in his arms, he seemed to be a little reluctant, so he agreed: "Miss Ahe, please ask." ”

"What kind of woman does Gongzi Chu like?"

Chu Nantang was stunned for a while for this question, the corners of his eyebrows were slightly raised, and he turned his head to look at me.

At that moment, my heart missed a beat, he, why did he suddenly look at me?

Then, I heard Chu Nantang say: "I don't have high requirements, that is, I am smart and stupid, that is, sophisticated and sincere, and I can only do it if I am vulgar." ”

Xiang He pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled: "This ...... It's a little confusing. ”

Chu Nantang laughed lowly: "If the water is too clear, there will be no fish, and if people are too tight, there will be no wisdom." It's not good to be too thorough about things in the world, and it's best when it's vague. ”

"Okay, Master Chu, I'll serve you." It was equivalent to asking in vain, but he did answer seriously.

"Thank you, farewell." Chu Nantang held the piano. Pull me along and turn away.

Xiang He chased after him again: "Young Master Chu, don't you ask anything else?" ”

Chu Nantang ignored it and quickened his pace until he walked far out of the piano shop. Thinking about these things is very strange, and it is extremely scary to think about it.

"Nantang, if this Xiang He has been alive, isn't she more than a hundred years old? And he looks like he is in his thirties, how can he really have immortality? ”

"Immortality, violating the reincarnation of heaven, will be repulsed and cursed. It doesn't end well. And there is no elixir of immortality in this world, but there is indeed a secret method of immortality. ”

My eyes widened in surprise: "Secret method? ”

"It's sorcery, it's better to stay away from this kind of thing. Even if you damage your own yin virtue, the harm to your descendants is really worth the loss. ”

I took a deep breath and whispered, "There is nothing wrong with obeying birth, old age, sickness and death." Immortal people always feel that what kind of loneliness should it be to see that the relatives and friends around you are far away from you one by one, and the world is no longer the world you know? ”

Chu Nantang smiled: "Madam is very right! In the end, it is a person who understands. ”

When he said this, my face was hot, and I didn't know if he was really complimenting me or making fun of me again.

"Nantang, will you teach me to play the guzheng in the future?"

"Madame wants to learn?"

"I kind of want to ......" Seeing the way he played the guzheng, I suddenly wanted to learn, like him, and play such a tune.

"Just think about it." Chu Nantang said with a serious face.

I was speechless for a while, and some eagerly stepped forward and pulled him by: "Yes...... I really want to learn, you teach me. ”

Chu Nantang looked at me helplessly: "It's not that I don't want to teach you, if you want to learn spells to collect ghosts and eliminate demons, I can teach you, this kind of 'wind and snow' thing makes me a little embarrassed." ”

"Difficult, embarrassed??" I blinked: "Why are you embarrassed?" ”

"Qin Se is harmonious, Luan Feng is harmonious, the years are quiet, if you are surrounded by the person you love, what a beautiful thing it should be?"

"You call me Madame......" I muttered unconvinced.

"Will you marry me in the future?" He asked suddenly, it was so sudden that I could only look at him blankly for a while, but I forgot to answer......

I do, a thousand, ten thousand, I do.
