Chapter 13: The First Sight of Life

Li Yanhuan pulled Yun Xuan to stop at the door. Yun Xuan looked over, the door was three steps away from the street, and the width of the two doors was open, and the edges were covered with pink curtains. A string of three big red lanterns are hung on both sides of the archway, and then there is a plaque with a red and yellow background on it, which reads "Yuehualou" three big characters. A half-aged and two beautiful women are greeting guests at the door.

Seeing Li Yanhuan standing at the bottom of the stairs, the half-old had sharp eyes and rolled her eyes: "Isn't this Li Gongzi, Li Gongzi hasn't been here for a while." Come on in. ”

Yun Xuan looked at Li Yanhuan strangely: "This guy is so young, when did he start liking this." ”

The half-old walked out, pulling the eager Li Yanhuan, Li Yanhuan pulled the twisting Yunxuan, and walked into the door like this.

There are two pairs of men and women hugging each other in the hall inside the door, entangled and walking towards the stairs, three thin and fat women standing together, their eyes looking forward to the flow, the silk scarf in the soft silk scarf gently swaggered towards Yun Xuan, and the sound of singing and laughter came from upstairs.

Yun Xuan looked at the three women in the hall, and felt a burst of fear in his heart for no reason, the teachings in life all this time made him instinctively want to leave.

He pulled Li Yanhuan and said, "Yanhuan, let's go." We're still young, I don't like it here, I think it's weird. ”

When the old bustard heard Yun Xuan's words, the whites of his eyes rolled, and his face was slightly annoyed, how could this guy block his own financial path, but he didn't say it.

Li Yanhuan looked at Yun Xuan's unnatural expression, suddenly understood, and said, "Don't worry, it's not what you think." ”

"Old bustard, is Miss Ru Yun introduced today. Li Yanhuan turned to the bustard and asked excitedly.

"Yes, Yun Meiren comes out once every five days, today, see you in the Yingchun Hall! If Li Gongzi wants to listen to Fang Yin, but this rule ...... Childe understands......" The old bustard smiled with a smile on his face, and then groaned slightly.

"This old bustard is relieved. ”

Then Yun Xuan saw Li Yanhuan take out two silver tickets of one hundred taels each from the placket of his clothes and stuff them into the hands of the old bustard.

The old bustard looked at it and smiled: "Oh, then congratulations to Li Gongzi for being able to get into the wonderful eyes of Yun Meiren and be the guest of the curtain." Come on, send the two sons to the Spring Festival. ”

Then a little servant came to lead the way.

"You are really willing, that's two hundred taels of silver. Yun Xuan couldn't understand.

Li Yanhuan listened to Yun Xuan's words, and his face suddenly showed a painful expression, it was the silver money he had accumulated for a month, and he suddenly raised his head, as if he remembered something wonderful, and said with a smile: "It's worth it, you won't be happy to keep it for a while." ”

Follow the little guy into the Spring Festival Hall, only to see that there are seven guests seated in the hall, three are young boys, chic and dignified, four are rich gentlemen, rich and blessed, in front of a slightly higher than the ground on the platform, there are two women in green yarn playing the pipa, clear sound around the wall beam.

The little servant led Yun Xuan and Li Yanhuan to sit down at a small square table, and then the little servant brought a few snacks and tea.

Yun Xuan didn't eat at noon, and he felt hungry, so he picked up an osmanthus cake and put it in his mouth, feeling very sweet. Only in August every year, when the osmanthus is fragrant, the mother will make some.

"Miss Yun just came to Yuehualou last month, and the first time she appeared in a piano sound, she shocked the whole building; I heard rumors that Miss Ru Yun's beauty is like heaven and earth, holy and beautiful, so that people dare not offend, and those who have seen Miss Yun will feel that there are no more beauties in Fallen Leaf City. Li Yanhuan looked yearning.

Yun Xuan asked, "Have you seen it?"

"No, it's just that a friend brought me to listen to Miss Yun's piano once last month. In retrospect, tsk. There was a wistful look on his face.

After sitting for half a while, the wonderful people on the stage sang or played or danced several rounds, and several guests came around.

To Yun Xuan's surprise, Nangong Shao, who was clashing with them on the street, also came in.

When passing by Yun Xuan's side, Nangong Shao paused for a moment, and looked at Yun Xuan and Li Yanhuan with disdain: "I didn't expect you to come in too, I really can see you." Li Baimian, you are too tasteless, a person with no status is also worth spending money to make friends?"

After that, he walked to the square table in front of him and sat down, looking at the two of them defiantly, after the confrontation on the street, he had already asked people to inquire about Yun Xuan's identity: just a child of Xiucai and his daughter.

Li Yanhuan was about to have a seizure, Yun Xuan raised his hand: "Don't pay attention to him, we'll look at ours." ”

Nangong Shao saw that the two ignored him, and he also felt bored.

After a while, the surrounding guests gradually quieted down.

At this time, a fresh girl walked out of the stage, followed by a small servant who moved out of the low table and put it on the side of the stage, and the girl said in a clear voice: "Distinguished guests, the next step is my young lady, please listen quietly." After saying that, he retreated.

From the side of the stage walked out a woman wearing a blue fairy dress, the pace was light and soothing, half holding a brown lyre in her arms, with a purple veil on her face, the lower left corner of the veil embroidered with a blue crescent, through the veil, vaguely see the beautiful face, look closely and blurred, slender eyebrows, a pair of quiet and clear eyes, the forehead skin is tender and white, the white beads are lightly pulled, the green silk falls to the back waist, and the quiet atmosphere surrounds her.

Everyone looked at the woman in the blue dress, as if they wanted to see the beauty in front of them, but they were afraid of breaking the quiet beauty, and no one spoke.

The woman hugged the piano, made a slight blessing, put the piano on the small table, sat down, closed her eyes and sat quietly, and her eyes slowly opened after a while.

The strings are plucked gently, and the sound is low and gentle at first, then smooth and clear. Yun Xuan felt that he was standing among the flowing clouds, hearing the sound of the wind, and it seemed that he had come to the mountains and wilderness, and there was a quiet sound in the forest, and the sound of the mountain spring water was dingdong, and the sound came from the sky...... His eyes closed unconsciously, and he saw himself rising into the sky, and a white mist appeared around him, and the sound of a harp came from the fog. Yun Xuan looked for the direction where the sound of the piano came from, walked out of the white mist, and saw four beautiful dancing girls with long sleeves fluttering and clanging rings dancing on the white jade floor. Dancing Ji Yingying walked towards him, fluttering wide sleeves, whirling around him, every time she passed in front of him, she bloomed with a beautiful smile, and Yun Xuan was fascinated by it.

Suddenly, the sound of "ang-" came, Yun Xuan was startled, the clouds, dancing girls, and piano sounds disappeared in front of him, he opened his eyes and saw that the guests around him all closed their eyes quietly, the expressions on their faces were some joyful, some melancholy, and the Ru Yun girl on the stage was playing the piano lightly with ten fingers, and her eyes were looking calmly ahead.

When Yun Xuan opened her eyes, she turned her eyes over, took them back, and continued to play.

Yun Xuan looked around and felt a little strange, so he didn't make a sound, sat at the table and listened quietly, and didn't enter the scene just now.

The sound of the piano stopped, Ru Yun got up and gently picked up the lyre, turned around, walked to the side of the stage, glanced back at Yun Xuan, with doubts in his eyes, and disappeared into the side curtain.

Slowly, Li Yanhuan and the guests opened their eyes one after another, some sighed on their faces, some were silent, and some laughed......

Li Yanhuan was still immersed in joy at this time, and gradually became annoyed again, "Hey!" he sighed.

Yun Xuan wondered: "Why did you suddenly sigh?"

"Then there will be a second scene: rich sons and rich businessmen can pay 1,000 taels of silver, enter the inner hall, and then compete with each other to show their talents, if they can get the approval of Miss Yun, they can go in and meet her. Yan Huan said regretfully.

"Then we don't have enough money and can't get in?" Yun Xuan asked, in fact, he really wanted to meet.

"Well, I've got two taels left. More than a month of accumulation, gone. He said miserably.

"When Miss Yun first came, there was no need to pay money for the second scene, and then there were too many people, and everyone wanted to see the beauty, so the old bustard set this rule. I regret that I didn't come earlier" Yan Huan regretted and missed the opportunity.

Yun Xuan also felt sorry in his heart.

At this time, the fresh girl from before walked out: "Miss has passed the word: the rules of today's second scene have changed." The sound of the piano just played contains her thoughts, and if the things you see in the sound of the piano can match the thoughts of the young lady, you can enter the room to meet the young lady. ”

"Wow" The guests in the hall were happy, this time they didn't have to pay money, maybe they were in line with Miss Yun's mind, and they could see their faces.

The girl waited for everyone to calm down, and said, "Everyone, please write down what you see on a piece of paper, and I will show it to the young lady." ”

Then a little guy took the prepared paper, pen and ink and put it on the small table on the stage. The guests lined up to write down what they saw on a blank sheet of paper.

Nangong Shao wrote "The Position of the Patriarch", Li Yanhuan wrote "BMW Flying Eagle", Yun Xuan just wanted to write "Dancing Queen" when he put pen to paper, but it was not appropriate to think about it, and wrote "Spring Water", others wrote "Wanguan Family Wealth", and even some people wrote "Ru Yun Girl" and so on, more than a dozen different things.

That Nangong Shao saw Yun Xuan write "spring water" and sneered: "How could Miss Ru Yun think about spring water." You are really a dirt bun who has never seen the world, you can only see water, and you are full of water. I dare to write it out and show it to her, and I don't have any self-knowledge at all. ”

Many people laughed.

"I think Miss Yun is an elegant person, maybe she likes elegant things. After Yun Xuan finished speaking, he sat back at the original table and ignored the crowd.

The waiting time was the most difficult, everyone whispered, their faces were happy and disappointed, imagining that they were in line with Miss Yun's wishes, imagining the scene of meeting, and worried that they would not meet the requirements and miss the opportunity.

After a while, the girl walked out, holding a folded white piece of paper in her hand.

Everyone stared at the girl, reluctant to leave, wondering if they were the lucky one.

"Miss has already chosen, and what is written on this blank piece of paper is Miss Miss's mind. The girl said, and she slowly opened the folded paper.

"Spring, it's spring. The guest was stunned, and looked at Yun Xuan with a look of disbelief.

"How can it be spring water, how can Miss Yun like spring water, Xiaolian, are you mistaken. Nangong Shao asked the girl.

"There's nothing wrong with that, there's the signature of the young lady on the white paper. The girl named Xiaolian said.

A few guests ran over: "It's really Miss Yun's signature." ”

"Please come out of the guest who wrote about the spring. Others can continue to eat snacks, and turn left out of Yingchun Hall, and Mom can arrange for your favorite beauties to accompany you. Xiaolian said as she looked at Yun Xuan.

Nangong Shao squinted at Yun Xuan, flicked his sleeves, and walked out angrily.

Yun Xuan was very excited at this time, originally he was hopeless, but he didn't expect that his mind would be in line with Miss Yun's heart and win the lottery.

Li Yanhuan held Yun Xuan's hand: "Yun Xuan, when you see Miss Yun's appearance, you must come back and describe her appearance to me, remember, remember?"

"Remember, remember. "He was shaken and swayed.

Yun Xuan walked to the stage.

"Young man, please come with me. After Xiaolian finished speaking, she put down the blank paper.

"Sign it to me. ”

"I want, I want. ”

Several guests are scrambling.

Yun Xuan followed Xiaolian down the corridor of the courtyard, a little excited and a little apprehensive in his heart.

Walking to the door of a room, Xiaolian said, "Miss is inside, you can go in by yourself." ”

Yun Xuan knocked on the door.

A calm voice came from inside: "Come in." ”

Yun Xuan walked in, it was a small hall, neat and clean, without any complicated and luxurious decorations, and there was a faint girl's body fragrance in the air. There was a round table in the middle of the hall, two round stools, a beaded curtain on the left, a window on the right, and a slender figure in a white robe stood in front of the window and quietly looked at the scenery in the courtyard, still wearing a purple crescent veil on his face.

"Sit down and pour your own tea. The girl's cold voice came, "What do you call Childe?"

"I, my surname is Liu, and my name is Liu Yunxuan. Yun Xuan replied mechanically.

"Miss Yun, please sit down too. It was the first time for Yun Xuan to be alone with a strange woman, he thought for a while, didn't know what to say, and burst out with this sentence.

"Do you think what you see in the piano is in line with my heart?" asked the cold female voice.

"Actually, I didn't have hope at first, but I didn't expect to be selected, and I was very happy to be in line with Miss Yun's heart. Yun Xuan took a sip of tea and said with a little joy.

"Even if you write something else, I'll let you in. The woman said, "I'm just wondering, why can you wake up while listening to the sound of the piano and get out of my Qingyin illusion?" The woman turned around and walked over, sat down facing Yun Xuan, and a faint fragrance reached Yun Xuan's nose, and her voice was a little gentle.

"Is that called a Qingyin Illusion? Actually, it's nothing, I just suddenly heard a loud voice in my ears in the illusion. Then I woke up. Yun Xuan looked into Ru Yun's eyes and said, he really wanted to see the face under the veil.

"It looks like someone is using soul transmission, or mil transmission. Ru Yun thought for a moment, and then said, "The one who can get out of my Qingyin illusion by himself is either with a strong will and a strong soul, or someone else awakens." I don't think the soul of the son is obvious, it should be protected by a master behind him. ”

"Superior protection? Yun Xuan looked at Ru Yun Gujing's unwavering eyes, as if the other party was saying: I don't believe it. patted his chest and said, "Really, no, do you look at my dress, like someone watching behind my back?"

Ru Yun's bland eyes were noncommittal.

"Won't Miss Yun take off her veil?" Yun Xuan suddenly said boldly.

"Childe wants me to take off my veil?" Ru Yun's voice suddenly became cold again.

"Uh...... I have a friend who, when I came in, asked me to write down the girl's beauty and tell him later. Yun Xuan suddenly felt embarrassed, how could he say what was in his heart.

"I'm afraid it won't be as Yunxuan Gongzi wishes. I, a formal female disciple of Qingyin Valley, will not take off her veil in front of a man before the age of eighteen unless I meet my beloved. Ru Yun's nice but cold voice came slowly.

"Qingyin Valley, is Qingyin Valley a sect?" Yun Xuan asked strangely.

"Hmm. Ru Yun replied quietly.

"Since Miss Yun has difficulties, she doesn't have to take it off. Yun Xuan looked at the quiet woman at this time, and didn't want to be abrupt, "I wonder if I can be friends with the girl?"

Ru Yun's eyes suddenly darkened: "Does Childe like to make friends? For so many years, in addition to cultivation, I only have a master and a junior sister who are good with me, and it is the first time that someone has said that they want to make friends with me." ”

"Girl must have met some people here, they didn't make friends with you?" Yun Xuan asked.

"They, they just thought it was the Wind and Moon Field, and as long as I plucked the piano, they walked out of the door satisfied. Ru Yun's eyes quickly returned to coldness.

"Then, can I have the honor of being your friend?" Yun Xuan looked forward to.

Ru Yun was silent for a while and did not answer.

"Childe can go. ”

Ru Yun's calm voice came, which surprised Yun Xuan, and he couldn't think of a reason to insist on staying for a while. I had to get up and make a gesture, and reluctantly said: "I think the girl is tired, I won't bother, let's leave, please have a good rest." Yun Xuan felt a faint sense of loss in his heart and walked to the door.

When Yun Xuan walked to the door, Ru Yun's thin voice came from behind: "My surname is Zhou, and my name is Zhou Ruyun." ”

Yun Xuan turned around, only to see the Bingqing woman sitting in plain white clothes dodging her eyes and lowering her head.

Yun Xuan walked out of the door, "Her surname is Zhou, and her name is Zhou Ruyun." "My heart rejoices.

returned to Yingchun Hall, only to see Li Yanhuan drinking stuffy tea at the table alone.

Yun Xuan walked over and asked strangely, "Everyone else has called a girl to accompany you, why are you drinking stuffy tea alone." ”

"You have gone over to accompany the fairy in my heart, I still have a mind, besides, there are still two taels of silver left, I dare not call it." Li Yanhuan said depressedly: "See, what does it look like." ”

"See, it's beautiful. Yun Xuan said.

"What the hell is it like?" Li Yanhuan was anxious.

"It's just beautiful, I can't describe it in words. Yun Xuan didn't want to say that the other party hadn't even taken off the veil, so it would be too embarrassing for him, so let Li Yanhuan imagine it for himself.

"Young Master Yunxuan. A voice came from behind, it was Xiaolian, holding a thing with a tray in her hand.

"Master Yunxuan, my young lady said that you were her first friend, and she gave a face towel as a souvenir. Xiaolian said.

Yun Xuan took the folded veil, the fresh fragrance came, and a round of crescent moon embroidered on the surface of the towel. Yun Xuan touched his body and found that he had nothing but clothes, and he was annoyed in his heart: "I have nothing else on me, so I can't give it back to Miss Yun." ”

"Childe doesn't have to be polite. Xiaolian said.

"I wonder if I still have a chance to meet Miss Yun?" Yun Xuan asked expectantly.

"My young lady is from the clouds, and it may be difficult for my son to see each other in the future, so please take care. Xiaolian turned around and left.

Yun Xuan pondered in his heart.

"Miss Yun's gift! Li Yanhuan snatched the silk scarf.

Yun Xuan immediately grabbed it: "This is a gift for me." He hurriedly hid the silk scarf in his arms.

"You two must have a story in it, right, right, tell it quickly. Li Yanhuan was pestering and grabbing. Yun Xuan hurriedly ran out: "No, no." ”
