Chapter 17: The Feast of the Tang Gate (I)
The full house put down their cups and chopsticks and looked at the door.
Yu Xiaoyao only felt that the wine in his mouth was indifferent.
How did he get back?
Why did he come back at this time?
There was a sound of steady footsteps outside the door, Tang Yelin, the young master of the Tang Sect, walked in from outside the door in the night, although his clothes were no longer glamorous due to the hurry, but his person was still vibrant.
His vigorous steps, upright posture, and lightning-like eyes showed his pride everywhere, just like when Yu Xiaoyao saw him on Cuiwei Pavilion.
As Yu Xiaoyao said, Tang Yelin is really like a sword that has been unsheathed, dazzling and sharp.
Tang Yelin walked in front of Tang Yanzheng, dressed in his clothes, and fell to his knees on the ground, "The child meets his father and congratulates him on adding another son." ”
He is obviously just Tang Yanzheng's stepson, but he pronounces this word clearly and emphatically.
Tang Yanzheng bowed his head slightly and said, "Lin'er has worked hard all the way. Come on, give the young master a seat. ”
Tang Yanzheng also pronounced the three words of the young master clearly and heavily.
Tangjiabao's wet nurse walked out of the back hall with a small baby in her arms. Gu Dieyu took the child from her hand, held it in her arms and shook it gently, coaxing, the happiness on her face was self-evident.
But she didn't look at Tang Yelin from beginning to end.
"Yelin has seen her aunt. Tang Yelin stood up and saluted her.
Gu Dieyu's eyes never left the child, but nodded slightly, indicating that he had heard.
Tang Yelin said to Tang Yan again: "Father, the child also brought back a gift to his father. ”
"Oh?" Tang Yan said righteously, "What gift?"
Tang Yelin clapped his hands, and a person walked in from outside the door, a woman holding a guqin.
Yu Xiaoyao's eyes widened, and he forgot to breathe for a moment.
Su Qing walked by his side gently, as if he hadn't seen him at all. She walked into the hall and bowed.
"I've seen the Tang Sect Master. ”
"Who is this?" asked Tang Yanzheng.
Tang Yelin said: "The child knows that his father is good at Yale, and this is the Qin girl specially invited by the child from Yangzhou Interpretation Building. ”
"Is that the world-famous piano girl?" Tang Yan said righteously.
Tang Yelin nodded with a smile: "It's that Qin girl." ”
Yu Xiaoyao looked at the familiar shadow and reached out to hold the bamboo flute on his waist.
Su Qing was still in the White Emperor City with him a few days ago, and it was impossible for him to return to Yangzhou and rush to Shuzhong in such a short time.
How did Tang Yelin meet her, and what was his plan to invite her?
Yu Xiaoyao only felt that he was becoming more and more incomprehensible to all this.
"What song does the door master want to hear?" asked Su Qing.
"I wonder what kind of tunes Miss Qin can play?" Tang Yanzheng asked kindly.
Su Qing groaned: "A thousand gold is easy to get, but a confidant is hard to find. Today, the master of the Tang Sect has so many confidants and friends, which can be described as a joy. The little woman played a song for the doorman. ”
Tang Yanzheng said: "This song is very good. ”
Su Qing bowed his head, "That little woman is ugly." ”
Pluck the strings one time, and then pluck the wind into the loosening. Su Qing's slender jade fingers danced on the strings, like two butterflies staggering among the flowers, dancing gracefully on the strings.
The sound of the piano is like the wind whispering, like the pine singing, sometimes like the majestic mountains, sometimes like the murmuring of flowing water. For a moment, the guests forgot that they were still at the worldly banquet, but it was as if they were in the mountains and forests, beyond the mundane world.
A song of mountains and rivers made everyone at the table fascinated, until the sound of the piano gradually died out, and everyone was still immersed in the aftermath of the beam for a long time.
After a while, Tang Yanzheng came back to his senses, applauded and praised: "The ancients are cloudy, and when they hear the Tao, they can die at night." Today, the old man can hear the sound of the piano girl, which is enough to comfort the wish of his life. ”
Su Qing said softly: "The master of the door has praised it. ”
Tang Yanzheng said: "Miss Qin has come from afar and worked hard, come here, show Miss Qin a seat." ”
Su Qing said: "Thank you, but Su Qing still has a reluctant request, and I hope that the door master will agree." ”
Tang Yanzheng said indispensably: "Miss Qin, please speak." ”
Su Qing bowed and said: "I am willing to toast the door master before I dare to speak." ”
Tang Yanzheng nodded, and the little boy came over with a wine jug and a wine glass, and Su Qing poured wine. The boy took the full wine glass to Tang Yanzheng, and Tang Yanzheng raised his glass and drank it all, "Miss Qin can talk about it now, right?"
Su Qingbai fell to the ground and said, "The little woman wants to ask for a pill of antidote." ”
Tang Yanzheng nodded: "It turned out that I came here to ask for medicine, I don't know what kind of antidote to poison Miss Qin wants?"
Su Qing said: "The Heavenly Poison Pill that can detoxify the Heavenly Poison Palm." ”
When he said this, it was not only unexpected by Yu Yaoyao, but it was also reasonable. That day, Su Qing drugged him and Tang Qi to bewitch him, just to ask for a pill of Heavenly Poison Pill for Mrs. Xue, but he didn't expect to be intervened by Yang Tianci, and finally returned empty-handed, Yu Xiaoyao had long expected that she would come to Tangmen to ask for medicine, but she didn't expect her to say it so openly.
Tang Yanzheng was very surprised: "Who is Miss Qin asking for medicine for?"
"For one of my deceased people. ”
"Then Miss Qin can go back. Tang Yanzheng said lightly.
Su Qing raised his head, "Isn't the Tang Sect Lord unwilling to give medicine?"
Tang Yelin stepped forward and said: "It turns out that Miss Qin is willing to come back with Tang for this matter, Miss Qin doesn't know, my Tang Sect's Heavenly Poison Palm only seeks to control the enemy, not to kill the enemy, so even if you are hit by the Heavenly Poison Palm, you only need to cultivate for a few days to recover, and you can't use the Heavenly Poison Pill." ”
Su Qing was surprised: "That day the poison pill?"
Tang Yelin said with a smile: "This is not a secret in Shu, and it doesn't hurt to tell the girl, the first twenty-three styles of the Heavenly Poison Palm are all for injuring the enemy and controlling the enemy, so there is no need for an antidote, only the twenty-fourth style that has been lost, the white bones are exposed in the wild, it is a deadly move, and the Heavenly Poison Pill is also specially prepared for this style." ”
Su Qing groaned: "What if I say that my old man, after being hit by that palm, has not receded from the black handprint on his chest for a whole month?"
"What did you say?!" Tang Yanzheng's eyes widened and he stood up suddenly.
Su Qing repeated what he had just said again.
"Father?" said Tang Yelin.
Tang Yanzheng's face was cloudy, and after a while, he said slowly: "In this case, please go to the back hall to rest for a while." ”
Tang Yan is so out of shape, it is rare, but since he is unwilling to say it in front of people, it is difficult for the guests present to ask each other, for fear of committing a taboo.
Yu Xiaoyao knew the reason for this. Tang Qi once said to him that if he wanted to practice the twenty-fourth form of the Heavenly Poison Palm, he had to have the Jade Butterfly Cup, and it was no wonder that Tang Yanzheng was so out of shape.
Tang Yanyi stood up from the seat, and the second elder of the Tang Sect actually sent Su Qing to the back hall in person.
Tang Yanzheng was still calm, sat back down, and laughed with everyone in the banquet.
Gu Dieyu seemed to be tired, said something in Tang Yanzheng's ear, and turned to the back hall with the child in her arms, but Yu Xiaoyao noticed that she took a deep look in the direction of Tang Yelin before leaving.
Yu Xiaoyao saw that Tang Yelin was surrounded by a group of Tang disciples and couldn't get out, Tang Yanzheng refused to look at him, drank all the wine in the cup, got up and left the banquet.
"Do you want to go back to your room to rest?" Several servants were sitting under the porch drinking and chatting, and when they saw him come out, one of them hurried over.
"Go ahead and get busy, I know the way. Yu Xiaoyao said.
The servant wished that he would not work himself, so he quickly answered yes and slipped back to drink.
Yu Xiaoyao turned to the side of the hall, saw that there was no one around, and jumped up, jumping up more than one person high, he toe a little on the wall, and jumped up with strength, his right hand was gently stretched, and it had hooked the eaves, and the whole person turned over on the roof.
He couldn't rest assured that Su Qing still wanted to take a look.
He went to the roof of the back hall and uncovered a piece of tiles to look at.
There were two lights lit in the empty room, but Su Qing and Tang Yanyi were not there.
Yu Xiaoyao thought about it for a while, and it was already clear, thinking that Tang Yanyi felt that this matter was too secretive, and took Su Qing to a safer place.
But where did they go?
Tangjiabao in the night, lit up with lights, like a falling star in the sky, the shadows of countless roofs spread all over the courtyard, to find these two people, it is really more difficult than climbing to the sky.
Yu Xiaoyao shook his head, he had to press the thought in his heart, he was about to return the same way, but he heard a squeak from below.
Tang Yelin pushed open the door and walked in.
Yu Xiaoyao was shocked in his heart, could it be that he found out that he was gone?
But Tang Yelin didn't come to him. He looked around the room as if he were looking for someone, but the person was not in the room, and he walked out through the side door.
Could it be that he went to find Tang Yanzheng and Su Qing?
Yu Xiaoyao's heart moved, and he quietly followed.
Tang Yelin walked out of the back hall and walked straight in one direction. Fortunately, Tangjiabao was full of big trees, and Yu Yao jumped over the roof of the treetops, falling far behind Tang Yelin.
Tang Yelin came to a small room, looked around, and made sure that there was no one around, so he pushed the door and walked in.
Jade leaned over to the roof and lifted the tiles to look inside.
The room was like the servant's quarters, and the room was laid out in a very simple way, except for a bed, a table, and a chair, on which a man was sitting.
This person is not Tang Yanyi, nor is it Su Qing.
It's Gu Dieyu!
"You still know to come back. Gu Dieyu's tone was full of resentment.
Tang Yelin walked over, gently held his aunt's hand, and said affectionately, "I came back this time for you." ”
Gu Dieyu shook off his hand and sneered, "Young Sect Master, aren't you afraid that your father will find out now?"
Tang Yelin said: "Now that I'm back, I'm not afraid of him." ”
Gu Die said: "Then you also brought him a delicate beauty back, you obviously know his temperament, not to please him, but what you want to do." ”
Tang Yelin sneered: "What I gave him today, I will double it back in the future!"
Gu Dieyu said coldly: "You have to wait for him to die before claiming it back, I'm afraid it will take a few years." ”
Tang Yelin said: "In a few years, after tomorrow, he will definitely die." ”
"Jade Xiaoyao?" Gu Dieyu frowned, "He and you are still in the middle of each other, and you can't help your father, let alone him." ”
"He's not my father!" Tang Yelin said indignantly, "He and I are not related by blood. ”
He stretched out his hand and gently stroked Gu Dieyu's cheek, and his tone turned to pain again, "What's more, when he took you away from me, I no longer regarded him as a father." ”
Gu Dieyu reached out and grabbed his hand, but her tone softened, "How can you be sure that Yu Xiaoyao will definitely win?"
Tang Yelin looked at her lovingly: "You don't have to know the details. You just need to know that all this I do is for you. ”
"For me?" Gu Dieyu's tears flowed down, and she said sadly, "When you gave me my hands, why didn't you say it was for me?"
"Butterfly language. Tang Yelin called her name softly, "At that time, I was not strong enough to protect you. But now that I'm capable, I'm not going to let anyone else take you away from me anymore. ”
He gently hugged Gu Dieyu and kissed her forehead, "Don't worry, I'm strong enough now, I will protect you." ”
Gu Dieyu lay in his arms, sobbing softly.
After a while, Tang Yelin and Gu Dieyu separated, "What about the child?" ”
"Fall asleep in bed. Gu Die said.
Tang Yelin walked to the side of the bed and stared at the little baby on the bed, "It's like, it's like it." ”
"Like me or like you?" Gu Die said.
"The eyes are like you, and the mouth is like mine. Tang Yelin reached out and hugged her waist.
Yu left quietly, he had seen too much and heard too much.
There are some things that he has never figured out, and at this time, he gradually has an eyebrow.
Tonight's Tang Yelin is an amorous person and a pitiful person.
Some people are angry at the crown, and some people are martyred, isn't there too much grievances and grievances in this world, which arise because of love and end up with love.
But what Yu Xiaoyao couldn't understand was why Tang Yelin was sure that he would definitely win.
What exactly is his plot?
Does this conspiracy have anything to do with Su Qing?
The night wind blew, and Yu Xiaoyao suddenly stopped.
For a man was standing before him.
Tang Yelin's eyes sparkled in the dark night, "Did you see that?"
Without waiting for Yu Xiaoyao to answer, he said affirmatively: "You saw it." ”
Yu Xiaoyao said lightly: "I didn't want to see it." ”
Tang Yelin sighed: "But you still saw it, didn't you." ”
Yu Xiaoyao closed her mouth.
"Even if you see it, it doesn't matter. Tang Yelin stared at him with burning eyes, "Because you must not dare to say it." ”
The shadows of Feng Lilong and Lu Qiao'er flashed in front of Yu Xiaoyao's eyes, and he said, "There is enough trouble, why should I make trouble myself." ”
"Good. Tang Yelin nodded.
He just stood quietly, quietly watching Yu Xiaoyao, and he didn't mean to get out of the way.
Yu Xiaoyao sighed: "Although I like to blow the wind in high places, I also like to drink some wine to warm up when the wind is blowing. ”
Tang Yelin nodded: "Okay, then let's find a place where there is wine to drink." ”
Tang Yelin led the way. Yu Xiaoyao smiled bitterly, but he had to follow, and the wind blew in his face, blowing through his clothes and cooling his chest.
The night is dark.
