Chapter 50: Her name is Aunt Yun
Chapter 50
Her name is Yun Gu
————————————————
......
Last night, the wind and rain suddenly rose, and the cold window was not chilling on a cold night.
In the late autumn season, when the rainy season was prosperous, the bluestone slabs on the streets of Chang'an were always wet. The sound of horses' hooves passed, and the splashes of water splashed from time to time, so that the people on the side of the road could not avoid, and the same thing was the smell of sugar water emanating from the sugar water shop of the lady named Yun Gu.
The bowl of sugar water entered the intestines, making the whole person rise a trace of warmth in this slightly cold late autumn.
......
For Yun Gu, such a life is enough.
Maybe she won't be rich in her life, she won't be able to enjoy the wealth and prosperity of Qionglou Yuyu, and she won't be able to feel the glamorous sound of the wind and snow moon building. But watching the bowls of sugar water being satisfied by every guest, she felt that it was enough.
At least in this world, she didn't spend her life so simply. Although she is not as proud as those majestic cultivators who walk in this world, it is not difficult to maintain the mind of an ordinary person like her. Especially for the people of Nanqi Prefecture -
They live in the most prosperous city in Nanqi Prefecture, and it is also the city where cultivators haunt the most. Here they are not talking about trivial folk matters, but more about the stories of cultivators who happened around them.
Even though they live in the same city as those practitioners, their lives are so different that they can only look at their stories from afar.
It's like the new champion who has been in the limelight recently-
"He's not as simple as a literary champion!"
A regular customer of the sugar water shop said: "It's still Wu Zhuangyuan." ”
"Not only that......" Another guest said, "It's still a refiner, and it's an alchemist, I heard that it's a few grades? Anyway, it's a very high-level one, and it's completely top-notch ....... in our place."
"You have forgotten the main thing!" said a passing scholar, "and the champion is still a musician." When will that song be a beautiful woman, and another song of bright moon...... They are all famous songs sung back then. I even wrote a good poem......"
The guests talked very attentively, and Yun Gu also threw herself into the sugar water she had boiled.
Faced with such a girl who was only interested in sugar water, the scholar asked curiously: "Aunt Yun, do you like boiling sugar water so much? Don't like anything else?"
Yun Gu looked up at the scholar, and then shook her head: "I don't know either!"
When I looked back again, I found that the fire at the bottom of the pot had been extinguished, and the sugar water in the pot had been boiled.
She scooped up a spoonful and tasted it, the taste was just right, sweet but not greasy, it was her favorite taste.
"I'm afraid I can't even make it taste like this myself......"
Yun Gu raised her head and subconsciously looked around, but there was only the empty air. This kind of thing has happened many times recently, and she always has the feeling that there is a person standing next to her, a person who knows her mind better than herself.
Her feeling is right, but the only thing that is wrong is that she is not standing next to a person, but a ghost who can't appear, or a ghost king.
The sugar water was laid down, and the ghost king's bones were not cold, and he stood there silently.
watched everything about Yun Gu, from morning to night, she stayed by her side every step of the way, cherishing every opportunity to stay by her side.
On the streets of Chang'an, the rain fell again......
The guests took advantage of the fact that the rain had not yet rained, paid the money, and hurried away. Yun Gu silently put away the bowl and spoon in front of her, she was not in a hurry, because the rain had always fallen on her recently, as if there was an invisible force blocking the sky above the sugar water shop, blocking all the rain.
Yun Gu silently put away the dishes and spoons, turned around and put them in the basin, just as she was about to clean these bowls and spoons. She felt a figure approaching behind her, turned to look outside the sugar water shop, and saw a young man in rags and beggar-like appearance enter the sugar water shop, and it was not difficult to see that his feet were lame.
The lame man, she didn't seem to have seen it for the first time, as if she had met one not long ago. It's just that it's a young man, and the two people in front of him look a little similar.
The beggar kept his head down in front of her, making it difficult for Yun Gu to see the beggar's face clearly.
When the beggar finally raised his head, he found that the beggar had a lot of gray marks on his face, and he couldn't tell what his face was.
"Do you want to drink sugar water?"
That Yun Gu took the initiative to ask.
The beggar stood in front of the sugar shop, hesitating, standing there embarrassed, and finally shook his head, turned and prepared to leave. That Yun Gu hurriedly stopped him: "A bowl of sugar water, no money!"
The beggar looked at Yun Gu suspiciously, and Yun Gu pointed to a musical instrument tied to the beggar's back and asked, "What is this?"
"Erhu!" replied the beggar, "It's a musical instrument!"
That Yun Gu said: "It's better to play a song for me, how about I give you a bowl of sugar water?"
The beggar nodded and walked into the candy shop.
Yun Gu turned around to serve sugar water to the beggar, she subconsciously looked at the beggar who looked like she was struggling in the cold wind, and finally found a large bowl under the counter that was rarely used, ten times the size of the usual bowl, and filled a large bowl of sugar water in front of the beggar's eyes.
The beggar stared at the big bowl of sugar water in disbelief: "It's a little too much!"
"It's not much!" Yun Gu said, "When you finish drinking, it shouldn't be cold." It should sound better when you play the tune that way......"
The beggar looked at the girl, nodded silently, picked up the big bowl of sugar water, and drank it all.
Yun Gu smiled: "Why do you drink sugar water like drinking wine!"
The beggar was silent, silently ripped off the erhu hanging behind his back, the slender fingers held on the bow, and the bowstring fell gently on the barrel.
As the bowstring slowly pulled, the poignant sound sounded faintly under the seemingly simple instrument......
The sound is delicate and affectionate, and the few sounds are not only musical, but also like the continuous love that has been praised throughout the ages, the impermanence of the world, the encounter and the separation......
"On the next page, the parting you wrote by yourself, I can't refuse, we are in too much hurry on this road
, embracing unreal desires, can't wait to look back and admire, Magnolia can't hide the injury
No longer look at the light of the sun in the sky through the clouds, no longer look for the agreed heaven, no longer sigh at the impermanence of the world you said, the three inches of daylight that cannot be borrowed, no longer look at the light of the sun in the sky through the clouds......"
At the end of that note.
That Yun Gu's face had already hung two lines, and she didn't know when, and somehow shed two lines of tears.
She looked up at the street where the rain had stopped, and realized that it was not only herself who was completely immersed in the music as she was, but also the passers-by.
The beggar got up and nodded gratefully at Yun Gu.
That Yun Gu couldn't help but ask, "What's the name of this song?"
The beggar replied, "Three inches of heaven!"
Turning around, he nodded silently behind Yun Gu.
Then he left......
"Three-inch Heaven ......" Yun Gu stood there stupidly, and what she didn't know was that there was another seemingly ruthless, but also stupid figure standing beside her.
