Chapter 30: The Past
Xiao Qingzhu felt as if she was walking on a country road on an intercity bus, surrounded by green rice fields, and her mother asked her to go on a blind date on the weekend, and she had to deal with it.
The bus was soon in town, and the stuffy air and loud noise of the city were all too familiar to her: this was what life should be. She hurried to the lab, intending to save the samples she had just taken. At this time, the call came again.
"Girl, my mother spoke badly just now, my mother made you chicken stewed mushrooms at night, you should come back and eat it when the time comes!"
"Oh, good!"
Hanging up the phone, Xiao Qingzhu let out a long sigh. She quickly took care of everything in the lab and walked out of the lab.
She felt very stuffy, as if there was a big rock pressing down on her chest, as if she hadn't done much. With her thoughts in turmoil, she walked to a teahouse and ordered a pot of cooked pu.
A waiter came over with a tea set and served a cup of scalding tea. When the tea touched his lips, Xiao Qingzhu was stunned: Why is it cold?
Looking closely at the teacup, I saw a cup of vermilion juice shaking in the cup, which tasted so familiar. Xiao Qingzhu raised his head and looked at the waiter, who had already turned around and left.
This juice also seems to be good.
Xiao Qingzhu did not refuse, and slowly drank the juice.
After drinking the juice, Xiao Qingzhu got up and went home. Mother was busy at home, and bursts of steam wafted out of the kitchen, and the gurgling sound was accompanied by bursts of chicken aroma, which made Xiao Qingzhu's index finger move.
It seems like I haven't eaten anything like this in a long time.
Xiao Qingzhu seemed to be unable to eat, and ate all the pots full of chicken as if the wind was whirlwind. After eating, her mother insisted on pulling her to try on clothes, saying that she had just bought them for her today.
"This style is popular this year, you wear it and see it, and you will definitely wear this on a blind date tomorrow!"
Xiao Qingzhu opened it and couldn't help but laugh dumbly: her mother bought her Hanfu, a set of azure long skirts.
Xiao Qingzhu was surprised but very satisfied, she put on this suit.
In the evening of the next day, Xiao Qingzhu went directly to the blind date. This is a luxurious restaurant, and in a seat next to the window, Xiao Qingzhu met her blind date.
She couldn't tell what it was, the man was like a dummy.
At this point, the food is served. The first dish surprised Xiao Qingzhu: it was a bowl of soup with a flower carved from cabbage floating on it.
"Boiling cabbage!"
A gentle voice rang in her ear: "Yes, you like this dish." ”
Xiao Qingzhu raised his head sharply to look at the waiter, only to see a face that was pouring all beings smiling warmly at her, Xiao Qingzhu instantly stood up from his seat: "Ah, you are ......"
The waiter pointed to his eyes: "Call my name!"
Xiao Qingzhu looked at him stunned, she only felt that this face had a lot to do with her, but she couldn't remember who he was. The waiter asked gently, "Zhu'er, is this the place you should come to?"
Bamboo?
Xiao Qingzhu's head was in chaos. The waiter smiled and said, "Silly girl!"
John doe!
Xiao Qingzhu blurted out at the waiter.
The waiter smiled in relief and shoved her out of the window. For a while, everything flew quickly in front of Xiao Qingzhu like a marquee, Xiao Qingzhu felt like she had fallen into an abyss, and she screamed.
Li ...... Four...... Plum...... Four ......"
Xiao Qingzhu muttered. Concubine Liu, who was feeding Xiao Qingzhu medicine, wiped her lips for her, and Dongfang Xun on the side frowned.
"What is she talking about?"
Concubine Liu said suspiciously: "It seems to be Zhang San, Li Siwang, and Ermazi or something." ”
Dongfang Xun shook his head helplessly: What kind of dream is this!
After feeding the medicine, the two left again. Xiao Qingzhu fell asleep deeply, and it was not until it was dark that Xiao Qingzhu suddenly woke up from his dream.
It's a dream!
Xiao Qingzhu sat up from the bed, and she looked at the environment around her: pale pink veils, carved windows, high-burning red candles, luxurious wooden utensils, and exquisite ornaments...... This is definitely not in the Liu Mansion.
Following his memory, Xiao Qingzhu remembered that he was rescued by His Royal Highness the Prince, if he guessed correctly, this should be the East Palace.
Xiao Qingzhu got up and got out of bed, and the maid who served her was already kneeling beside the bed and falling asleep. Xiao Qingzhu bypassed the maid and quietly walked out of the door.
Outside was a very large garden, and Xiao Qingzhu walked into the depths of the garden with confidence. There was a squeaky sound not far away, and it seemed that someone was pulling the erhu. Xiao Qingzhu took a closer look and couldn't help but smile dumbly: I saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was unskillfully holding the erhu, pulling it in style.
It sounded like sawn wood.
Xiao Qingzhu stepped forward, gently picked up the erhu in Dongfang Xun's hand and sat down. She took a deep breath and pulled up calmly.
This is a song "Moonlit Night".
Dongfang Xun didn't speak, just listened to the music silently. The song is sometimes soothing, sometimes slightly sluggish, and seems to tell the infinite emotions in the heart. After a song, Dongfang Xun praised: "Sure enough, folk music has its own taste." ”
Xiao Qingzhu put down the erhu and said with a smile: "Seeing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince making erhu, I can't help but itch." If you are rude, you hope that Your Highness will not be strange. ”
Dongfang Xun raised his eyes, and he said leisurely: "When there are only you and me, just call me by my name, and call His Highness Taishengfen." ”
Xiao Qingzhu was stunned: "This ...... Not quite right, right?"
Dongfang Xun waved his hand: "Nothing inappropriate." There is no distinction between high and low music, and there is no distinction between high and low people. If you feel awkward, you can call me Xun Gongzi. ”
Xiao Qingzhu smiled: "Then I don't dare, it's better to call His Highness." ”
Dongfang Xun smiled helplessly, and had to leave it to her.
Xiao Qingzhu said sincerely: "Your Highness, thank you for saving your life that day. ”
Dongfang Xun said something: "Miss Liu Si is polite." Saving you is my share of the job, and I don't need to thank you. ”
Xiao Qingzhu understood. But she didn't dare to take this stubble, so she quickly changed the topic.
"How long did I sleep?"
Dongfang Xun sighed: "For three whole days, I almost didn't save it." ”
"It's been three days......" Xiao Qingzhu thought thoughtfully.
Dongfang Xun smiled: "You don't have to worry, I have already said hello to the Liu Mansion, you can stay here for as long as you want." ”
Xiao Qingzhu thanked: "Thank you, Your Highness, it's just that there are still a lot of chores at home, and besides, I'm a girl who hasn't been out of the cabinet, so it will inevitably be inconvenient to stay here, so I have to excuse Your Highness." Tomorrow morning, I have to hurry home. ”
Was this rejected? Dongfang Xun was not annoyed, he knew that a girl like Xiao Qingzhu was not easy to chase. Dongfang Xun smiled generously: "What Miss Liu Si said is reasonable, then early tomorrow morning, I will send a carriage to send you back." ”
Xiao Qingzhu bowed down: "Your Highness's life-saving grace, the little woman is unforgettable, and the little woman will be repaid in the future." ”
Dongfang Xun helped her up: "If you want to repay her, play me another song." Can you wear the flute I gave you?"
Xiao Qingzhu was stunned for a moment, then reached out and touched the cuffs, she cut the space and took out the purple bamboo flying flute.
Staring at this flute, Xiao Qingzhu sighed infinitely in his heart, although it was just an object, but for it, he was troubled, Liu Yuyao was framed everywhere, and the Zhang family was destroyed.
The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty.
Xiao Qingzhu slowly brought the flute to his mouth and played an old song "Plum Blossom Three Alleys" that he had heard back then.
The piece is somber and melancholy, and very different from the style of the previous time. After the purple bamboo flying flute was blown out, it blew out the twelve points of this mourning. Dongfang Xun felt a pang in his heart: Could it be that this girl already has a sweetheart?
Obviously, Xiao Qingzhu was tactfully telling him that her sweetheart was not him.
After a song, Xiao Qingzhu retired. Looking at her departing back, the affection in Dongfang Xun's eyes became stronger and stronger.
No matter who she has in mind, she will eventually fall in love with herself.
He has this self-confidence.
