Chapter 188: The Ancient Road (Finale)
It's late autumn again.
In the secluded place of Qishan, there are clear springs, wild trees, flowers, Chun Yu picked a branch of herbs and smelled it, put it in a bamboo basket, went down the mountain along the path, and came to a courtyard between the mountain passes. He was just about to push open the wooden door when a melodious sound of the piano wafted out.
"Ruoyun?" With a doting smile on his face, he stopped to listen until the sound of the piano stopped before pushing the door in.
Qihua said angrily: "I only thought about coming back after eating." โ
"Brother Chunyu is back, it's time to collect medicine." A quiet voice came from the back room.
"Look at her, she studied the piano in Chang'an, said she missed us, and ran over." Qihua said while setting up the bowls. Chun Yuji smiled and put down the bamboo basket.
"Who misses you?" At this moment, a clear laugh came from outside the door.
Qihua showed a surprised look on his face, quickly wiped his hands and ran to the door, exclaiming, "Why are you two here?" โ
"What? We weren't welcome, then we went. โ
"You dare." Qi Hua raised his hand and made a gesture to fight.
"Brother Chunyu, sister-in-law is so powerful, how do you endure it on weekdays." Qiu Qian craned his neck and jumped into the house.
Chun Yu was about to reply, but when he saw Qihua hugging Chanel and entering the house with a smile, he smiled and said, "Miss Xia is also here." โ
Chanel bowed his knees slightly, and said with a smile: "I have long wanted to come over to visit Brother Chunyu and Sister Qihua. โ
Qihua pretended to be displeased and said, "Then why don't you come over early?" โ
Ruoyun also came out of the back room at this time, took Chanel's hand affectionately, and said, "Sister Xia, I like the incense burner you made so much." โ
Chanel lightly tapped her Qiong's nose and said, "This kind of shape, this kind of glaze, you like it." โ
"It's so simple, so elegant, it's just what Sister Xia did." Ruoyun raised his face and said coquettishly.
Qiu Qian interjected on the side: "Now that the Pingding Kiln is on fire, the princes and nobles of Chang'an are waiting in line to ask for goods. The object made by Chanel is the palace pottery workshop, and it is also willing to bow down. He looked smug.
Chanel frowned and said, "If they want to line up, let them line up." โ
Qiu Qian was stunned for a moment, blinking his eyes, not knowing how to reply, so he had to smirk.
Seeing that he was embarrassed, Qihua changed the topic and said with a smile: "Ruoyun is learning the piano in Chang'an, which also bothers you." โ
"If Yun is so smart, why bother us. At the moment, her piano skills are not praised by those court musicians in Shangle Fang. Qiu Qian became active again, but only after saying a few words, he suddenly saw Chanel's cold eyes, his heart sank, and he quickly stopped.
Qi Hua looked at it and secretly laughed. She suddenly remembered something, tilted her head and said to Chun Yuji, "Aren't you going to give Ruoyun a gift, take it out quickly." โ
Chun Yu hesitated for a moment, and said, "I don't know if Ruoyun likes it or not." โ
Ruoyun smiled: "I like the gifts given to me by Brother Chunyu and Sister Qihua." โ
Chun Yu took out a long object carefully wrapped in brocade and handed it to Ruoyun.
Ruoyun took it and said with a smile: "But the guqin." "Put it on the desk and slowly open it, and sure enough, a guqin was revealed.
I saw that the lyre was black all over, faintly tinged with a faint green, like green vines wrapped around the ancient trees. Ruoyun couldn't help but exclaim: "This is the green Qiqin used by Sima Xiangru?" "Look up at Qihua, look at Chun Yuji, his eyes are clear.
Chun Yu smiled a few times and said nothing. Qihua stepped forward and hugged her gently.
Ruoyun wiped away her tears, looked solemn, walked to the window with Lu Qiqin in her arms, sat down, put the piano on her lap, gently stroked the body of the piano, and took a deep breath.
She was slightly possessed, plucked the strings with her right hand, pressed the note with her left hand, and as her fingers fluctuated, the clear and clear sound of the piano sounded euphemistically.
In the soft sound of the piano, it is like a small stream flowing slowly out of a deep valley. Before long, the broken leaves fell, startled the swimming fish, splashed on the shallows, stirred a few branches of orchids, swayed gently with the wind, and there were bursts of fragrance wafting.
Ruoyun lowered his head, twisted slowly, and immersed himself in the sound of the piano. At the end of the song, the aftermath lingers.
A room full of people was fascinated, and it took a long time to wake up.
Qiu Qian was surprised: "If Yunqin's skills are so good, I still have to learn the arts." โ
Ruoyun took a pale cyan Sujuan and covered it on the piano, and replied softly: "There is no end to knowledge." โ
Chanel stretched out his finger and pointed at Xia Qiuqian: "Listen, there is no end to knowledge." "Autumn Qian's face is red and his ears are red.
Qihua hurriedly played a round and said, "You sit down for a while, and I'll go and prepare some wine and food." โ
Chanel said, "We also brought some food and drink. โ
Qihua smiled and stretched out his finger to point at her, quipping, "We, we." Chanel's face turned red suddenly, and he dragged Ruoyun into the kitchen.
Chun Yu beckoned Qiu Qian to drink water and asked, "Ling Zun is good." โ
"I'm very busy." Qiu Qian picked up the bowl and drank water, wiped the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand, and said.
"Still in Yizhou?" Chun Yuji asked.
"No, in Chang'an. He said he was too old to walk. The copper mines in Yizhou let me take care of them. โ
Chun Yuji smiled slightly when he heard this, and Qiu Qian hurriedly argued: "This is not my wish." Chun Yuji didn't speak, just looked at him meaningfully. Qiu Qian was a little embarrassed, laughed and laughed, and after a while, he sighed and said, "By the way, do you remember Uncle Song?" โ
"Of course I do." Chun Yu Yu.
"He was the last one to come that day, and he scared us out of a cold sweat." Qiu Qian recalled the scene at that time, and still had palpitations.
Chun Yuji smiled and said: "Jiren has his own natural appearance. โ
"Yes, too." Qiu Qian nodded in agreement and said, "Uncle Song originally wanted to return to Shuofang, but the shopkeeper of Shuiming Pavilion insisted on inviting him to teach calligraphy in the store, but he couldn't refuse, so he stayed in Chang'an. His granddaughter Song Niang was invited into the house by the little princess and accompanied her. In fact, the little girl wanted to learn dance, and she didn't want her grandfather to know, so she hid in the princess's mansion. As he spoke, he seemed to think it was incredible, so he shook his head.
Chun Yuji also didn't understand, and said: "Why do little girls like music and dance, isn't it good to learn some female celebrities." After saying that, he was also stunned, and subconsciously glanced at the inner room.
Qiu Qian grinned, leaned closer and said softly, "You still found such a good piano." โ
Chun Yuji spread his hands helplessly.
Qiu Qian suddenly chuckled, and Chun Yu looked at him suspiciously.
Qiu Qian said: "Zhang Xiaoyi, do you remember this person?" โ
"Guo Cong's disciple, what's wrong with him."
"He has now changed his name to Zhang Yi, and he has made meritorious contributions, and he is already a marquis of the Yulin Army."
"Isn't that great?"
"Huh." Qiu Qian seemed to remember something interesting, and laughed to himself.
"Did you have any entanglements with the little princess?" Chun Yuji was aroused by his curiosity, and he gossiped.
That day, the little princess and Zhang Xiaoyi were entangled in front of the Tingwei Mansion, and everyone saw it.
I don't know who scared him, saying that the little princess was going to clean him into the house, so he hid when he heard the little princess. But the little princess somehow wanted to pester him, and if she couldn't find it, she would find his master Guo Cong, Guo Cong had no choice, so she had to go to Shuofang to sell horses again. Hahaha. Qiu Qian couldn't help but laugh again. Chun Yuji couldn't help but smile.
Qiu Qian took a sip of water, and then said: "There is also Pang Meng, who also stayed in Chang'an, and was promoted to the rank of court lieutenant and supervisor, and his rank is a thousand stones. โ
Chun Yu recalled that when Pang Meng asked them to go to Chang'an by themselves, they felt like a world away, and couldn't help but sigh.
"I heard that you are also a meritorious escort, why don't you stay in Chang'an?" Qiu Qian asked puzzled.
Chun Yu was stunned for a few moments, and the scene of that day suddenly flashed in his mind. The bitterness of the remnants of the snow, the sorrowful roar of the broken branches, the terrifying cold light after the sword blade was torn, and the lingering smell of blood seemed to linger around him. He looked out the window, dazed.
At this time, there was a burst of laughter in the back room. Qihua leaned out and said, "The wine and food are ready, come in,"
"Okay." Qiu Qian answered, got up and entered the house.
Outside the window, the sunset smeared all over the mountains, but it was blue and red, and it was impossible to distinguish between heaven and earth.
Chun Yu slowly stood up with a few hands on the bookcase, and inadvertently touched the slip on the case. A roll of bamboo slips unfolded with a bang, he glanced at it casually, only to see the book "The autumn wind rises in the Han family mausoleum, looking back at the ancient road and the sun", suddenly, a sadness enveloped his heart.

(Finally finished the first novel, which is both a relief and a reluctance, thanks to the love of many book friends, and we are destined to meet.) Also, now I think that if the title of the book is "Chang'an Noon", it may be more charming. ๏ผ
