Chapter 52: Alone in the West Building without a Word
Under the gaze of the scholars, Meng Xiaoxi came to the front of the single room.
She lifted the beaded curtain, and after glancing at it, the man froze in place.
After a long time, I hurriedly put down the bead curtain.
"This is what you call handsome?" Meng Xiaoxi lowered his voice.
The maid was surprised, wasn't she?
Meng Xiaoxi glanced at her and began to tidy up her clothes and sideburns.
This can no longer be described as handsome.
She sorted it out, and after getting a proper answer from the maid, she raised the beaded curtain with a smile.
"Dare to ask Childe, did you write that sentence just now?" Meng Xiaoxi asked Gu Bai first.
Then he nodded to Xie Changan and Li Fuyou.
Xie Changan didn't blame her.
With Gu Bai, he can still greet them, Meng Xiaoxi is polite enough.
But Xie Changan was still a little unconvinced.
"Why can't I write it?" Xie Changan asked.
Meng Xiaoxi chuckled, "Gongzi Xie, you really know how to joke." ”
Xie Changan still had something to say, and was pulled aside by Li Fuyou.
"Knowing that you can't learn, don't keep reminding others. Li Fuyou asked him not to disturb the two of them talking.
Now Meng Xiaoxi's eyes are full of Gu Bai.
Xie Changan closed his mouth jealously.
"That fragment was not written by me, it is from "The Peony Pavilion", written by Mr. Tang Yiyi. ”
Gu Bai didn't forget to advertise again, "No, it's available in my bookstore." ”
Meng Xiaoxi nodded, "Mr. Tang is talented, the sentence is very good, but the words are also very good, just like his person." ”
"Squeak, squeak. Xie Changan gritted his teeth.
At first, he wanted to go upstairs but couldn't.
As soon as Gu Bai and Meng Xiaoxi met, she changed her method to praise Gu Bai.
Why is the gap between people so big?
The crowd looked back at him.
"What, he's hungry, you go on. ”
Li Fuyou lifted a chicken leg and stuffed it into Xie Chang'an's mouth.
As a person who doesn't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, Li Fuyou is happy to see Gu Bai and Meng Xiaoxi have a good story.
A talented man is matched with a beautiful woman, a beautiful woman is a gentleman, the two are a match made in heaven.
However, Gu Bai's words shattered his illusions.
Gu Bai corrected Meng Xiaoxi seriously, "Please don't insult me." My people are far more beautiful than my words. ”
"Ugh. ”
Meng Xiaoxi froze in place, looking at Gu Bai in astonishment.
Li Fuyou pulled the chicken leg out of Xie Changan's mouth and stuffed it into his mouth.
Benefactor, you won't be able to marry a daughter-in-law like this.
Meng Xiaoxi came back to his senses and chuckled, "Childe is right, your words are far worse than yours." ”
Gu Bai nodded, "That's right." ”
He rolled up his sleeves and "brought the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone." ”
Meng Xiaoxi stretched out his hand to take it from the maid's hand, put it beside Gu Bai, and pinched the inkstone with his white hand.
"Hey, I don't need you. ”
Gu Bai stopped her, "Let the hook come." ”
"Who is the hook?" Meng Xiaoxi wondered.
She is well-informed and knows that this name is very indecent in Shudi, and it means buttocks.
Then, she thought to herself, thinking that this Gu Gongzi would not have any love for hooks.
Hook stood up from behind Gu Bai at this time, "I'm Hook." ”
Meng Xiaoxi was startled, took a step back, and his face turned pale.
Fortunately, she was delicate and witty, and she quickly recovered, "Girl, she looks quite chic." ”
Seeing that the hook was grinding ink, Meng Xiaoxi was puzzled, "Then I..."
"Oh, I came to you for a case. Gu Bai turned around and greeted Wang Shouyi, "Old Wang?"
Wang Shouyi was stunned at this moment.
He had never seen such a good-looking girl, like a fairy.
Especially after comparing it with a hook.
"Old Wang?" the hook probed his face in front of Wang Shouyi under Gu Bai's signal.
"Mom!"
Wang Shouyi was frightened, and his chopsticks fell to the ground.
From heaven to hell, this gap is a bit big, and it almost flashed Wang Shouyi's waist.
"Let you ask about the case. ”
Hook rolled his eyes and returned to Gu Bai to continue grinding ink.
"Oh, yes. ”
Wang Shouyi hurriedly stood up and wiped his hands crampedly, "I, I, I am..."
He was speechless for a moment.
"Case?" Meng Xiaoxi wondered.
"About a stable woman's daughter, her name is..."
When Gu Bai was waiting for the hook to sharpen the ink, he answered for Wang Shouyi, but she didn't know the name.
"Four. Wang Shouyi hurriedly said, "She only had such a nickname when she was in Sweetwater Lane." ”
As for the name of the Happy Building, he didn't know.
"She's your best friend. Wang Shouyi reminded her.
This is when Wen Po came to see her daughter in the Happy Building, she went back to tell the neighbors.
"Si'er?" Meng Xiaoxi moved, "You are asking about Si Si, the Si Si who was ransomed by Xian Yu." ”
"Yes, that's her. Wang Shouyi nodded.
"What's wrong with her?" Meng Xiaoxi wondered.
Gu Bai and the others looked at each other, and this question was interesting.
"She's dead. Gu Bai said.
"Oh. ”
Meng Xiaoxi responded.
The expression on her face seemed strange to Gu Bai and them.
She was not sad, but like hearing that someone she knew had died, she sighed at the transience of life.
"Aren't you good friends?" Gu Bai asked her.
"It used to be, but then it wasn't. Meng Xiaoxi smiled bitterly.
They are duckweed in the water, gathering and scattering, and some friends are lost everywhere.
"Later, when was it later?" Gu Bai also stopped selling Guanzi, "She died almost a year ago?"
Now it was Meng Xiaoxi's turn to be puzzled, "A year ago?"
She shook her head, "No, I saw her on the street half a year ago." ”
Although they rarely have contact after the redemption of the priest, there is still a friendship between them.
Until half a year ago.
In front of the silver fang, Meng Xiaoxi was going to play a hairpin.
When I got out of the carriage, I happened to meet the priest who came out of the shop and played with a small silver lock in his hand.
Seeing his friend, Meng Xiaoxi was very happy, took three steps and made two steps, and stepped forward to greet Si Si.
To her surprise, Si Si didn't know her at all, saying that she recognized the wrong person, and then staggered by, got into the carriage and left.
"I remember very clearly, it was at the beginning of spring half a year ago. ”
She looked up at a few people, "Why do you say she died a year ago?" ”
They couldn't give her an answer.
After a moment of silence, Wang Shouyi asked, "Are you sure that she was the secretary at that time?"
Meng Xiaoxi shook his head.
"Can't be wrong, my maid was also present at the time, and she also knew Sisi. ”
Meng Xiaoxi believes in his eyes, unless there is really a person in the world who is tall, looks the same as Si Si, and uses the same incense powder.
"Oh, yes. ”
Meng Xiaoxi remembered, "The carriage she got in at that time was also from the Xian family. ”
In order to show their identity, the Maison often hung their own logo on the carriage.
The logo of the Xian family is a fish.
Meng Xiaoxi clearly remembered the way the fish shook after Si Si entered the carriage and lowered the curtain without looking back.
So she was sure it was Sisi.
This is also the reason why she has just heard that Si Si is dead, and she is not too sad.
Now that Si Si has denied him, he has given up their friendship.
Then Meng Xiaoxi gradually stopped taking her to heart.
Meng Xiaoxi met Sisi half a year ago!
Now it was Wang Shouyi's turn to be puzzled.
"Could it be that you saw a ghost, so she didn't recognize you?" Wang Shouyi came up with a possibility.
"Si Si was already dead at that time?" Meng Xiaoxi was surprised.
Wang Shouyi nodded affirmatively, "Yes, she died. . . ”
"Si Si became a ghost after being killed by Xian Yu Niang, and he forgot what happened in his life, so he doesn't know you. ”
Wang Shouyi clapped his hands, "It seems that we have to find Sisi's ghost now, so that the truth will be revealed." ”
"Makes sense. Xie Changan nodded.
Li Fuyou was puzzled, "Why don't we just ask Xian Yu? Find Si Si's ghost, how troublesome." ”
Gu Bai didn't bother to pay attention to them.
Two scumbags with an illiterate half-literate person, if they can sort out this case, there will be ghosts.
The hook rolls its eyes. "I say, gentlemen, what you said, Si Si is dead, and he has forgotten what happened in his life. Now, even if you can find the ghost she turned into, if you can ask for the answer, you will be a ghost. ”
"It's not. "The hook woke up in time.
She couldn't speak now.
At this time, there was an uproar outside.
Guy Meng Xiaoxi has been in for a long time, and the scholars outside are either jealous or curious, and gradually become noisy.
"Ahem, what's the hurry, good poems and good words are never afraid to wait!"
After releasing another wild speech, Gu Bai picked up the pen and swayed it on the paper.
Meng Xiaoxi came back to his senses, approached Gu Bai, and watched the changes between his eyebrows when he wrote, and his heart fluttered.
Oops, that's the feeling of liking.
"I heard that Miss Xiaoxi will be going to Huiji County soon? This poem is just for you, so that when you miss your hometown, you will moan without illness. ”
Gu Bai said as he wrote.
Li Fuyou supported his forehead, this pair was together, he couldn't see it.
Xie Changan was very pleased.
It seems that God is still fair, and while giving Gu Bai a good skin, he also gave him an unsympathetic head.
It's just that after seeing Meng Xiaoxi's appearance, Xie Changan's teeth itched with jealousy - Meng Xiaoxi didn't hear what Gu Bai said at all, she was smiling, looking at Gu Bai carefully, and didn't let go of any part.
The bridge of his nose, his eyebrows, his forehead, and his seductive lips.
The more Meng Xiaoxi looked at it, the more he liked it.
Gu Bai quickly stopped writing.
"When I say it's all jokes, it must be all jokes. ”
He handed the note to Meng Xiaoxi, "Miss Xiaoxi, you read it to them." ”
"Oh. ”
Meng Xiaoxi took the note, glanced at Gu Bai reluctantly, and then looked at the paper in his hand, and read it absentmindedly.
"Hello, Li Yu. ”
Meng Xiaoxi's maid stood at the bead curtain at this time, and after listening to Meng Xiaoxi sing a sentence, the voice was passed to the maid outside.
The maids outside were not far away, passing each other, and these five words soon sounded one after another in the Happy Building.
"Go up to the west building alone without a word, the moon is like a hook..."
Meng Xiaoxi stopped.
Gu Bai's shadow that was shaking in front of her eyes was broken in an instant, turning into a west building, and the moon was like a hook.
She raised her head and looked at Gu Bai in surprise.
After the maid passed these two sentences, she also tasted it.
These two sentences are very powerful.
It's not just them.
The scholars, who were still noisy just now, listened to the transmission of these two sentences one after another in the building, and also quieted down.
They were frightened.
These two sentences were full of sorrow, and for a while the scholars could not find poems that could match them.
The loneliness and sorrow are vividly reflected in just a few words.
"Quatrain. ”
Some scholars couldn't help but admire.
Meng Xiaoxi stopped, and so did the maid.
Some scholars were shocked to hear this, and they couldn't wait for the next article, but there was no follow-up.
"Where's the back!"
"Hurry up. ”
"I'm in a hurry. ”
Some scholars were anxiously urging.
They are like touching a mountain treasure, only smelling it, and being itchy by greed.
Meng Xiaoxi couldn't wait.
She lowered her head and continued reading.
"The lonely Wutong deep courtyard locks Qingqiu, cuts constantly, and the reason is messy, it is sorrowful, not the general taste...... in the heart. ”
After Meng Xiaoxi read the last three words, he was already stupid.
She clung to the paper in her palm, fearing that it would escape, and she was immersed in the sorrow of the words.
The building is also silent, and the needle drop can be heard.
Some scholars were immersed in the words, and some scholars were shocked.
They never imagined that Gu Bai, who was talking wildly, would actually make this poem that has never been written before, and it is difficult for anyone to come after.
This poem, don't talk about them, even if it is placed in the academy on the bank of the Qinhuai River, it will also shock the master's jaw.
Compare that to the word.
The scholars felt that what Gu Bai said was right, they were indeed all jokes.
"Shhh ”
Gu Bai greeted Li Fuyou and Xie Changan.
Now that I have eaten, I have drunk, and the case has been investigated, and Meng Xiaoxi has also seen it.
They need to go home and sleep now.
Xie Changan and the others were awakened by Gu Bai,
Gu Bai said goodbye to Meng Xiaoxi, Meng Xiaoxi was all focused on the paper, and nodded carelessly.
"This poem is from a book of poems in my bookstore, if you like it, remember to buy it when the time comes. ”
After Gu Bai came out of the beaded curtain, he advertised for his bookstore.
No one paid any attention to him.
All the scholars were still immersed in the shock of that poem.
Gu Bai didn't care, led a few people downstairs, and left straight away when the scholars were immersed in the words.
My grandmother said that it is not a good child to spend midnight without sleeping.
After a long time.
"This word..."
Meng Xiaoxi raised his head, only to be surprised to find that Gu Bai and the others were no longer there.
The scholars also came back to their senses one after another.
"What a word. ”
"Bow down, compared to that word, it's a joke for me. ”
They were impressed.
