Chapter 13: Interesting People
In the private room on the east side of the third floor of the Flower Pavilion, slender fingers slid over the strings, and the sound of the piano came to an abrupt halt when the flawless hands suddenly pressed the strings.
The sound of the piano burst into cracks in an instant, and then returned to silence in an instant, but the aftermath lingered, making people fascinated. It is like the lovesick person, although he is gone, but he seems to hear the whispering sound in his ears again.
Li Zhonghong had never heard such a beautiful piano sound, and he couldn't help but have an endless aftertaste and couldn't extricate himself.
After a long time, Li Zhonghong woke up from his intoxication, and there was a silence before he sighed: "Miss Luoqin's piano skills are really unparalleled in the world, and it is a blessing in my life to hear about it today." ”
Ye Luoqin stroked the guqin, it seemed that she couldn't put it down, she sighed: "If there is no this thousand-year-old guqin, no matter how high the skill of Luoqin is, it will not be able to play such a beautiful sound." ”
Then she got up and bowed to Li Zhonghong Yingying, and sincerely thanked: "Thank you Li Gongzi for the grace of the qin." ”
Li Zhonghong smiled and said: "This guqin can meet Miss Luoqin's confidant, it must be its luck." ”
Ye Luoqin plucked the strings again, and the guqin made a clear sound, and then the door was gently pushed open, and a little girl aged eleven or twelve walked in briskly.
"Ling'er, change a cup of tea for Li Gongzi."
Ling'er responded: "Yes." Immediately brewed a new cup of tea for Li Zhonghong.
Ye Luoqin saw that Ling'er's expression had been a little strange since she entered the house, and she seemed to have heard something interesting, and when she finished brewing tea, she couldn't help but ask, "Is there something interesting happening outside?" ”
That Ling'er was a person who couldn't hide his words, and when he saw Ye Luoqin asking, he immediately said with a smile: "There was really a strange thing that happened in our Flower Pavilion just now. ”
Ye Luoqin was stunned when she heard this: "Strange thing? I couldn't help but ask, "What strange happened?" ”
"The three aunts Cuinong, Dustshuang and Huafu have not accompanied guests for more than ten years, but just now three distinguished guests named them to accompany them. Sister Luoqin, don't you say it's strange? ”
Ye Luoqin thought for a while and said, "These three guests may be their past benefactors, and this time they are just here to reminisce about the old feelings." ”
Ling'er said with a smile: "The eldest of the three guests is only seventeen or eighteen years old, how can they be their benefactors." ”
Ye Luoqin couldn't help but be taken aback when she heard this, and her eyes were also full of doubts.
"Is there such a strange thing?" Li Zhonghong was also interested when he heard it.
Ling'er said: "These three guests are still drinking on the first floor at this time, and the three aunts of Cuinong, Chenshuang and Huafu are also still waiting by the side." And ......"
"And what?" Ye Luoqin asked.
Ling'er said with a smile: "Now that this strange thing has spread throughout the Flower Pavilion, everyone is so curious that they can't help but want to see what kind of people these three strange guests are." ”
Ye Luoqin couldn't help but be curious, and couldn't help but smile and say, "Then you must have seen it secretly, haven't you?" ”
Ye Luoqin smiled, just like a flower blooming, seeing Li Zhonghong's eyes straighten, he couldn't take his eyes off anymore.
Ling'er said: "The person headed by the three young sons is only sixteen years old, surnamed Shen, but the name is very strange, called Xunhuan, Xunhuan who is looking for fun. ”
"Shen Xunhuan?" Ye Luoqin shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this is not his real name." ”
Ling'er nodded: "Sister Qu, they think so too. However, that Shen Gongzi is extremely handsome, and at first glance he is a noble person, but for some reason he wants Aunt Cuinong to accompany him. ”
Ye Luoqin thought about it for a while, but obviously couldn't figure it out, so she shook her head helplessly.
Li Zhonghong originally got acquainted with Ye Luoqin because of the qin and had a good conversation, but now he was disturbed by this strange Shen Gongzi, and now Ye Luoqin's interest in this matter far exceeds that of the guqin.
Li Zhonghong was indignant in his heart, and couldn't help but sneer: "These three people are just grandstanding. ”
Na Ling'er didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in his tone, and continued: "But that Shen Gongzi doesn't seem to dislike Aunt Cui and them, and he talked with them very happily, and even toasted them several glasses of wine one after another. ”
Li Zhonghong snorted coldly, as if he felt that arguing with the little girl was a loss of identity, so he stopped talking.
"And this Shen Gongzi has an excellent mouth, which makes Aunt Cui and them smile." Speaking of this, Ling'er seemed to be a little emotional: "It's been a long time since I've heard Aunt Cui and her laugh so happily." ”
Ye Luoqin had never seen such a strange person, and his interest in this Shen Gongzi couldn't help but become stronger and stronger.
"That Shen Gongzi is so interesting?" Ye Luoqin couldn't help but show a hint of yearning.
Li Zhonghong was arrogant by nature, how could he bear such a coldness, naturally he couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly said to Ye Luoqin: "Miss Luoqin, I suddenly remembered that there is something important, so I will leave it alone today and come back to visit another day." ”
Ye Luoqin looked at him blankly, and then felt a little ashamed, hurriedly returned the salute, showed apologies, and said in a low voice: "Li Gongzi, today is Luoqin's poor hospitality, and he will be swept away at sunset." ”
Li Zhonghong finally felt a little more comfortable, and after saying goodbye to Ye Luoqin, he walked out of the room under the guidance of Ling'er.
Ling'er sent Li Zhonghong away and returned to the room again, and Ye Luoqin was sitting by the guqin in a daze.
"Li Gongzi went downstairs?"
Ling'er nodded: "I'm downstairs." ”
Ye Luoqin said lazily: "I want to thank that Shen Gongzi this time, if it weren't for him, I'm afraid that I would sink my face again to drive people away." ”
Ling'er said with a smile: "I saw that Li Gongzi was magnificent, literary and talented, and he also loved his sister, and gave my sister this thousand-year-old guqin, thinking that he would be favored by his sister." ”
Ye Luoqin stroked the strings, let out a soothing and pleasant sound, and said lightly: "Although this Li Gongzi is talented, he is actually no different from others, he just wants to have a night of happiness." ”
Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered the strange behavior of Shen Gongzi in Ling'er's mouth, and couldn't help laughing: "That Shen Gongzi is an interesting person. ”
At the mention of Su, the corners of Ling'er's mouth turned up slightly, and her eyebrows were full of smiles.
"That Shen Gongzi is really interesting, and he has already started to fight with Aunt Shuang at this time."
"Fighting?"
"Yes, Sister Yan'er told me just now that Shen Gongzi heard that Aunt Shuang's alcohol was very good, and he was very unconvinced, so he had to separate from Aunt Shuang, but Aunt Cui couldn't persuade him on the side. So that Shen Gongzi and Aunt Shuang are fighting hard now, and both of them have already drunk a pound of manna spring. ”
Ye Luoqin thought for a while, and then asked, "What are the other two sons doing?" ”
Ling'er pursed her lips, with some disdain in her eyes, and said, "The other two are far inferior to Shen Gongzi, they sit there like idiots, and they seem to look down on Aunt Cui." ”
