Chapter 59: Xia Wan

Zi Ning turned her head in a daze, and asked in amazement: "You are a high-grade concubine, you actually remember that my name is Zi Ning!" This is really unusual, she has met Xia Wan a few times in total, and she has no deep friendship, but Xia Wan seems to inquire about her clearly.

Xia Wan bowed her head slightly, and said with a smile: "Zi Ning's outstanding appearance, it is difficult for people not to remember, since I entered Qingshuang Garden, I will remember your name." ”

Zi Ning was silent, thinking, "Does she want to know herself and her opponent and win all battles?" She knows everything about me, but I don't know anything about her. I'll go, isn't that a loss!"

Xia Wan stepped forward and pulled her sleeve, pointed to the handwriting engraved on the bamboo trunk and said, "What kind of strength did Master Su use to write such a free and heroic calligraphy." If it is written by me, I am afraid that it will be a decadent appearance of weak willows and wind. Zi Ning, you may hate Lord Su, but I am impressed by him in my heart, how can he be a mediocre person with such a flying wave-like handwriting. ”

Seeing that Xia Wan persuaded herself, Zi Ning was a little impatient, and said: "It doesn't matter if he is a mediocre person, what does it have to do with me? ”

Xia Wan put the glazed palace lamp on the stone, sat down slowly, and asked, "Have you read Uncle Ji's famous chapter? Then he turned his eyes to look into the distance, as if in reverie.

Zi Ning saw her face like a peach blossom in the dim light, her eyes flashed, and her complexion was crystal clear, and she couldn't help but sigh secretly: "It's a pity, it's a pity, such a beautiful flower is actually inserted in the old cow dung of Master Su!"

After thinking for a while, Zi Ning's face was slightly red, she cleared her throat, and said, "I know Uncle Ji, he is Ji Kang, I have read a few sentences of his famous articles." Seeing the return to Hong, waving the five strings in his hand. Pitching is self-satisfied, and the heart is too mysterious. Ji Kang is a character that I admire very much, his poetry is free from nature, and his calligraphy is also very charming. ”

Fortunately, she read and memorized this article by heart, and she didn't expect Xia Wan to like Ji Kang, so she had to make a random comment.

Xia Wan's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had found a bosom friend, and said with a smile: "Uncle Ji's poems and books are all brilliant and bright, every time I see his cursive handwriting, there is always a feeling of holding the piano and half drunk, singing and sleeping, all the birds are gathered, and the birds are scattered." ”

For cursive appreciation and the like, Zi Ning is not good at it, afraid of saying the wrong thing and embarrassing people, listening to Xia Wan talk endlessly, her scalp suddenly numb, and she thought: "What are the birds and birds, I don't feel it at all, there are too many birds gathered together, and they are chattering and arguing, isn't it a mess!"

Hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Ji Kang's poetry and calligraphy are just that, birds are the same whether they are birds or not." I really like his piano sound, it's really the best in the world!" she had read a book "The World Speaks New Words" before, which told the allusions of Ji Kang playing the piano, but she still had some impressions.

Turning his eyes to Xia Wan, Zi Ning continued: "Ji Kang's song "Guangling San", that sadness is really gloomy. Now we are disgusted by the blinded Lord Su, just like Guangling has been untouched for thousands of years. Xia Wan, Lord Su is to you, it is the scenery of burning the qin. Don't worry, one day, that old cow dung will regret it!"

Seeing that she was incoherent, Xia Wan didn't care to refute her, only smiled slightly, and suddenly asked, "Have you heard of Ji's four lanes?" Zi Ning was slightly stunned, and thought: "What are the four, do you make four times, who is idle and has nothing to do, what are you doing with?"

I only heard Xia Wan say in a leisurely voice: "Shu Ye once composed four piano pieces of "Changqing", "Short Qing", "Long Side" and "Short Side", and cooperated with 'Ji's Four Alleys', which can be called outstanding and no one can imitate. ”

Zi Ning vaguely remembered which book she had read the introduction of "Ji's Four Alleys", and thought: "Ji Kang is boring enough, he really made four tricky tunes, and he didn't let others imitate them." He plays the piano four times in Ji's four lanes, and others play the piano four times to make!"

Shaking his head, he looked at Xia Wan and said, "I used to be a rough maid in the dining room, and I have never heard these high-end tunes. You know how to play the sheng flute, do you know how to play this...... What four lanes?"

Zi Ning is no stranger to qin music, because she likes to listen to the qin since she was a child, and always feels that the guqin has a rich and long timbre, which is more meaningful and longer than other musical instruments. But she is very disgusted with the way she plays the piano and music, blindly imitating the ancients, but she can't even learn the scum of the ancients.

Xia Wan's expression suddenly darkened, sighed deeply, shook her head and said: "This Ji family's four alleys have a heroic generosity, and women can't play the charm in it." Although there are many men in the world who know the piano, they have never seen anyone play the sound of Uncle Ye's heart. I heard that Master Su knows the piano, if Xia Wan can be lucky enough to hear the true sound of Ji's four lanes, she will have no regrets in this life. The voice is faint, as if pouring out the pain of lovesickness.

Zi Ning suddenly understood, it turned out that the person Xia Wan was thinking about was still Lord Su, and she turned her eyes and smiled: "How can Master Su be compared with Ji Kang, a free and easy character like Ji Kang, who is so graceful and hearty, where to find it now? You don't have to be sad, you see that I am a woman on the outside, but I am a good man on the inside, when I learn to play that, I will definitely do it for you, but your wishes." ”

Xia Wan smiled "poof", seeing that what she said was very interesting, she couldn't help but be attracted, and tilted her head to look at her without turning her eyes.

Zi Ning also tilted her head to look back at her, and sighed: "Xia Wan, you are such a talented and beautiful woman, if I were a man, I would definitely compete with Master Su for favor!" Xia Wan listened, and smiled again, and the faint worry in her heart had already dissipated.

Zi Ning suddenly remembered that Master Su had rewarded the sheng flute, and then smiled: "The sheng flute is originally two different musical instruments, it seems very difficult to learn, you are proficient in all of them, it is indeed rare." Looking down, I saw that Xia Wan had a long turquoise flute tied around her waist, and a string of tassels with two-color green and gold threads hung on it, which was indeed the one that Master Su rewarded.

Xia Wan untied the long flute, raised her hand, put it to her mouth, and said slowly: "It's not very difficult. I have a long time of leisure, blowing a little every day, and slowly becoming proficient. Putting his lips to the air hole at one end of the long flute, a melodious and intoxicating flute sound suddenly rose slowly, lingering in the bamboo forest.

The high-pitched and desolate sound of the flute swayed out of the bamboo forest, and a bird of a tree suddenly flew in the darkness.
