Chapter 47: I Have a Friend
"What do you play in the middle of the night?"
"I'm seeing off Ziyu. ”
Zhao Rong choked on a sip of wine.
"Wen Ruo, is it possible that as soon as the sound of your piano stops, five hundred knife axes will jump out of the water outside the Lake Center Pavilion, rushing in and cutting me into meat sauce?"
Lin Wenruo was stunned for a moment, raised his head, and smiled, the sound of the piano in the Huxin Pavilion was still the same, and the night outside the Huxin Pavilion was like ink. Ziyu said with a smile. ”
"The rain has stopped, isn't Ziyu ready to leave early in the morning. ”
"That's why you sleep in the middle of the night. ”
Lin Wenruo looked at the manor sleeping in the moonlight outside the pavilion and sighed. "Where is the sound of Qingchi's piano disturbing people's dreams, isn't it only Ziyu and you who found it in the end?"
"This is full of laypeople, only Ziyu understands me. ”
Zhao Rong looked serious. "I got up at night to relieve my hands, and I couldn't hold back the noise of your piano. ”
“......”
Lin Wenruo opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't ask him if he came out, and said angrily: "Then you still drink." ”
It's a good thing with lofty ambitions, but it's just vulgar by this guy in front of you.
Zhao Rong blinked, seeing that success had made Lin Wenruo break his work, he instantly felt less melancholy, looked at the extra guqin in the pavilion, walked over, and sat down to play the piano.
Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, although the guqin is the first of the four arts of Confucianism, but Zhao Rong is not proficient, only some basic notation, fingering and playing, mainly because he was not interested in this thing in the past, and felt that it was useless to govern the world, so he did not learn it seriously.
"It seems that Wen Ruo was waiting for me, knowing that I would get up in the middle of the night to relieve my hands. ”
Zhao Rong stroked the broken lines on the body of the qin, showing its age, the wooden body is simple and heavy, the whole body is black, faintly glowing green, the fingertips touch it, there is a cool feeling, and with a flick of the fingers, it actually made a crisp and delicate sound of jade collision, like a heavenly sound, there is a sense of coldness into the fairy. Zhao Rong's eyes lit up and sighed: "Good piano." ”
Lin Wenruo's expression was helpless. "Can Ziyu stop mentioning this mundane thing?"
"Who says mundane things. Zhao Rong saw that this guqin was so wonderful, Rao is he, a person who has just peeked into the way of the qin, can detect its extraordinary, can't help but love it, after hearing Lin Wenruo's words, he casually continued: "To relieve the matter, the heroes and heroes of the world have to bow their heads and pay tribute, and the chaste women in the world must be wide clothes and skirts." I don't think it's tacky at all. ”
Lin Wenruo shook his head with a smile, lowered his head and continued to play the piano, but after a while, he had no choice but to stop and look at the person who was "making trouble" on the side.
"Ziyu, can you not torture...... Can you stop playing, I was wrong, I shouldn't have taken this Mingyu out. ”
Zhao Rong's "Crazy Demon Qin Method" stopped abruptly, shrugged his shoulders, lifted the wine jug again, leaned back at will, leaned on the railing, and rested his right hand carrying the jug outside the pavilion, looking at the night in the distance a few times.
From here, you can enjoy the majestic mountain scenery in the distance, the outline of the mountain is clearly distinguished from the gray and dark sky, and in the unknown mountain, the mist is hazy, and occasionally a few star-like points of light are lit up, as if the pearl of the immortal fell into the world.
There is a high mountain among the mountains that is quite familiar, take a closer look, the appearance is square, at the moment is facing Zhao Rong's side, a pitch black, and above it, hang a bright moon, Zhao Rong slightly suddenly, it turned out to be the cliff stone carving, presumably if it is daylight, in the pavilion will be able to see the four words "quiet and inaction", I don't know at this time, there will be an old man in ancient clothes muttering under the cliff, lonely people.
Zhao Rong raised his right hand, his long sleeves slid down, the wine jug poured, and the sorrow had entered his throat.
"Wen Ruo. ”
"Yes. ”
Zhao Rong poured a sip of wine. "I have a friend who has a very difficult encounter...... He has a childhood sweetheart.,The kind of two little ones who don't guess.,I've always had a crush on him since I was a child.,But he didn't know.,And he also misunderstood that childhood sweetheart.。 ”
Zhao Rong paused, and saw Lin Wenruo sitting there listening quietly, so he continued:
"Then my friend did something very hurtful, so that the childhood sweetheart left, but that friend soon woke up, cleared up the misunderstanding, and he also found out...... I actually care about her. However, she had already gone to a far away place, and even if she had traveled thousands of miles to find her, she might not have forgiven my friend, because ...... It seems to be a little too deep. ”
"Wen Ruo, what should he do?"
After saying it in one breath, Zhao Rong took another sip of wine and quietly looked at the listener in the pavilion.
There was a brief silence in the Pavilion in the middle of the lake.
Lin Wenruo nodded, took out a luminous glass from the side, and motioned to Zhao Rong, who threw the wine jug away, Lin Wenruo took it, and after filling the glass, he threw it back with his backhand.
Lin Wenruo took a sip lightly, looked at Zhao Rong's expectant eyes, and said leisurely:
"Are you talking about this friend?"
Zhao Rong: "......"
The young Confucian who was carrying the flask hurriedly shook his head.
Lin Wenruo shook his glow-in-the-dark wine glass. "You don't have to hide it, there's no one else here. ”
Zhao Rong sighed when he heard this, and said calmly: "Okay, I still can't hide it from you, in fact, the friend I'm talking about is ......."
"Su Xiaoxiao!"
He said seriously: "It's the one who walked with me, you've seen it, I have a good relationship with her, she has always regarded me as a gentle, considerate and handsome confidant big brother, and she rushes to confide in me everything, and I'm embarrassed to refuse, you know, I'm this shortcoming." So, I'd like to ask her, what should I do about this?"
Lin Wenruo's expression was suspicious, he glanced at the pair of black and white jade plates on the waist of the person in front of him, then his expression calmed down, and he said slowly: "Oh, this thing is easy to do." ”
Zhao Rong's face looked expectant.
The corners of Lin Wenruo's mouth hooked. "Don't go looking for her, why should you wronged yourself and humbly run to see her face?
Zhao Rong's face sank when he heard this, his eyes lowered, and he looked at his feet, even the personal pronoun in Lin Wenruo's words was "you", and he had no time to take care of it.
Lin Wenruo saw Zhao Rong's face, raised his eyebrows, and continued to guide: "Since the matter has come to this, then don't bother to redeem it, at least this will definitely maintain your dignity, after all, it is you who rejected her, it is you who don't want her, you are the superior party, you can always stand on a high place in the future, let her look up at you, and let her be humble and heartbroken when she thinks of this matter in the future." Between the two, you are the proud winner. ”
Zhao Rong's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, his lips pursed, and his eyes looked straight at his feet, as if he could penetrate the lake at the bottom of the pavilion.
Lin Wenruo stared at the silent young Confucian in front of him, smiled, and persuaded him step by step. "Ziyu, how can we men, especially our generation of Confucian students, fall into our hearts, even in terms of the relationship between men and women. Although this matter is a misunderstanding between the two parties, you may regret it in your heart now, but time will consume everything, and it will be a little regret at most when you think of her in the future. ”
Speaking of this, Lin Wenruo stopped, a trace of fireworks flashed in his eyes, but it was extinguished in an instant, Lin Wenruo immediately came back to his senses, sighed slightly, and said earnestly:
"Ziyu, there are thousands of women in this world, how can you be so entangled for one person, if you don't be ruthless, then when you meet other women in the future, won't you be even more tired? Like me now, I have received more than a dozen beautiful concubines, well, I forgot that it is more than a dozen, whatever, if I am like you now, I will devote my heart and soul to each of them, wouldn't I be tired to death, then how can I talk about helping the general of the South Kingdom Building?"
"My generation of Confucian scholars should focus on business, there can be wind and snow, but not the priority is reversed!"
"So, Ziyu, what do you think?
Moonlight is like water.
Quietly walk on the surface of the lake, the top of the pavilion, the pillars, the fence, the guqin, the stone slab, and the side face of a certain Confucian scholar.
The face was slightly emaciated, and in the silver glow of the bright moon, it solidified into a silent marble statue.
The eye that is not hidden in the darkness is obscure.
The lips were as black as a distant mountain.
A burning gaze was staring at him.
Two black and white jade plaques are hanging quietly around their waists, a few feet away, but they do not move at all, and they are facing each other in the air.
And there seems to be an ethereal Yi man in the distance, slowly waiting for his answer.
A lacquered flask carved with black patterns hovers beyond the railing, pinched by a hand covered in bruises from repeated exercises.
The combination of the cold black lacquer surface and the lukewarm skin scared away a large amount of blood.
Five slender fingers, the tips of which are blue and white.
The next second.
The palm of the hand is released and no longer clenched.
The flask fell, and the lake exploded.
The retreating blood slowly returned.
"Okay. He said.
His brows were slightly loose, although he was still a little hesitant, but he had an answer.
He exhaled lightly.
Look up, it's a rainstorm of starlight.
