Chapter 3 Who will, whispering
Xingyan heard Yun Zhongjun's sentence "The treasures in the world all have spiritual surnames", but his heart moved, and he said:
"What the old man said is very true, the boy has been taught. Today, I have something to ask my husband for advice. ”
After saying that, Xingyan presented the strange iron sword in his hand, which was still half-wrapped in a piece of linen, to Yun Zhongjun, and said:
"I want to teach my husband to know that this sword weapon was inadvertently picked up by me on the horseshoe mountain last night; this sword seems to be a little strange, and I ask my husband to take a look at it and make it clear!"
Yun Zhongjun saw that Xingyan was solemn, so he squinted his eyes and carefully studied the sword - in Xingyan's expectant gaze, he muttered for a while:
"It's like a sword. ”
"Huh?" said that...... Let's listen to the following.
"It seems to be, but it doesn't seem to be. A sword is a sword, a sword is not a sword, it is a paradox, it is only between two things--strange! This thing is so old that I can't understand it, and it seems that it should not be a vulgar thing--Wake up, you should keep it alive, maybe it will be of great use in the future. ”
Yun Zhongjun's vague evaluation sounded like he was in the clouds and mist for a long time, and he was a little confused. But fortunately, I also learned that this sword is not an ordinary thing - since Yun Zhongjun said so, it must be collected carefully!
It's just that Yun Zhongjun's next sigh is like pouring a scoop of cold water on the happy awakening words:
"No, no, it's a pity! Looking at the bright and bright appearance of this sword, it is not a divine weapon, but it is not a high-grade artifact -- you must know that the divine thing has a spirit, and it must know that it is self-obscure; look at this sharp state, but it can only be an ordinary sharp weapon......
At first glance, when I heard this turning point, I couldn't help but feel a little depressed. But after thinking about it, I was relieved, and even a little happy:
"Hey~ My husband's words are also a little incomprehensible - think about what other benefits this sword can have besides sharpness?!Retort bright and bright, haha!~ Not bad, yes!
Not to mention that the young man was secretly proud there, and said that Yun Zhongjun, after tasting it, he stuffed the sword into Xingyan's hand, and said, "I'll go~", and it was floating away......
-- Coming suddenly, going suddenly, a little bit of free and easy dust, Ling Ran on the surface of things.
It's just that behind his free and easy silence, there was a long angry call from the young man:
"Wait, old man, you forgot to tell me where you live!
- Actually, there is one thing that I really forgot: the old man and the young man only cared about chatting happily, and they all forgot to mention the name of the Lingyi'er - Yun Zhongjun forgot to say it, and he forgot to ask about it.
............
......
After saying goodbye to Yun Zhongjun, Xingyan continued to hurry, and walked towards the Huayue Tower.
All the way to nothing, he couldn't help but think back to what the strange Yun Zhongjun had just said—although all his boasts of becoming an immortal were tricky—and he said it irreverently, rather like the clichés of the old Dao Qinghe. But some of his other arguments are still quite novel to Xingyan, and they are worth savoring.
Just walking and thinking about it, suddenly, Xingyan seemed to suddenly think of something, and he couldn't help but cry out in his heart, and quickly ripped open the piece of linen wrapped in the sword in his hand again:
Sure enough, as the boy expected, the sword that was already shining brightly has now returned to its original state, and it has become a dull old ruler again!
What's worse is that no matter how reverently the awakening is called, the sword is just not revealed!
"That's it, I didn't expect this sword to have such self-esteem! Originally, I could have used it to chop bamboo, pears, and hide animals—this is good, but I can only use it as a stick in the future!" Xingyan couldn't help but lament.
"Alas, forget it, anyway, I picked it up for nothing......" The young man comforted himself all the way, and unconsciously returned to Huayue Tower.
............
......
After that, it was a little plain like water.
He had made up his mind to return the flute, but he no longer saw the girl come to ask for it. At that time, I forgot to ask where Yun Zhongjun's home was, and it was not easy to visit. But this is also good, although Xingyan because of his simple family education since childhood, he knows the truth that things that are not his own can not be taken in vain, so he made up his mind to return the flute, but in fact, he has been with this jade flute "Shenxue" for a long time, and now he is still a little reluctant.
When he was busy, he came to play music, and when he was free, he went to play, and the son passed away like this.
It's just that in these tranquil and calm days, unconsciously, there is a wisp of shadow, which breeds and spreads in the heart of Cheng Yuyou's awakening words, and finally it is like a bone in the throat......
This matter has to start with Ying'er. The lively little girl beside Rui Niang in Huayue Building can be described as a sounding board for awakening words. Although he is plain and doesn't pay much attention to the short and long ones in Huayue Building, he knows everything in detail, no matter what it is, he knows everything in his chest!
All this has to be attributed to this little girl Ying'er - as soon as there is something in this Huayue Building, this Ying'er with excessive curiosity must be inquiring in many ways, and after that, he will definitely be the first to come to find out what he has learned!
If it is changed to the past, it will inevitably be a little unbearable, but recently the little girl unintentionally mentioned something, but he kept it in mind.
It turned out that Ying'er told him that the master she was serving, Rui Niang, and her Hu Shi'an Hu Gongzi were already so good that they were blending oil in honey, and it seemed that they had reached the point where they were going to talk about marriage - because, recently, Ying'er found that Na Rui Niang had begun to use the money she had accumulated for that Hu Gongzi to spend. It seems that Rui Niang has made up her mind to be good with this Hu Gongzi.
When I started hearing the news, I didn't pay much attention to it. Because the Zhen Niang in the Huayue Building, the most famous Rui Niang in the "Four Queens of the Flower Moon", and the Hu Gongzi of Penglai, Shandong, know it up and down in the Huayue Building. Moreover, everyone says that this is a beautiful thing - you must know that there is a lot of attention now, and few benefactors have the heart to redeem themselves for the Qinglou woman.
This marriage that will be accomplished has also been passed down as a good story in Huayue Building, and has become the object of admiration and follow-up of the sisters.
Although he began to hear the news from Ying'er, Xingyan was still a little funny in his heart, saying that this little girl could talk about it, and this well-known thing could not find out what to say. But after listening to it a few more times, the awakening words are a little attentive.
The young man who used to be favored by Rui Niang began to feel a faint uneasiness.
Because, Xingyan knows that when almost all the funds obtained have to be handed over to the bustard, it is not easy for this Qinglou woman's personal money to accumulate. These hard-earned private money are all used for self-defense after they are old and decrepit. Therefore, if the Qinglou girl's own money is not used unless it is at a critical juncture, it will not be used.
To say, Rui Niang and that Hu Gongzi have reached the point of "punishing the curse in front of the gods and swearing an oath between flowers", and she is now handing over her own money to Hu Gongzi for use, but it is also reasonable for her, and there is nothing wrong with it.
It's just that the awakening words that often wander around the city can't help but give birth to a sense of unease-
Because, recently, he has often seen this young and wealthy Hu Shi'an Hu Gongzi, who is very elegant, and he frequently goes in and out of the happy gambling house!
Xingyan recalled the words from the little maid, and thought about the words and deeds of Hu Shi'an that he had seen in his ordinary life, and the doubts in his heart were getting bigger and bigger.
Xingyan usually had nothing to do, and in that large amount of leisure time, she couldn't help but think about it over and over again—the more she thought about it, the more strange she felt.
"Is it possible...... The so-called Shandong scholar Hu Shi'an is actually coaxing Rui Niang?"
Although this conclusion is rather cruel, with the wisdom of Sobering, and based on all kinds of observations, I really have to make such an inference - Xingyan is not as simple-minded as the little maid Ying'er, after all, he has been in the market for so long, and he has read poetry and books in the school, and his knowledge is not comparable to these ordinary women in Huayuelou.
What he pondered was this reason:
If Hu Shi'an, who came to Raozhou to study, really had the heart to redeem Rui Niang, he would never have to spend Rui Niang's own money. It seems that that Hu Gongzi is now running out of money at the head of the bed, and he is short of money at the head of the cane.
And it's not just about money.
Originally, there was a Jin generation, and it was difficult to get the approval of the elders in the clan when the children of this scholar married the daughter of the Qinglou, and it was difficult to get the approval of the elders in the clan about the dignity of the lintel. Even if the elders of Hu Shi'anmen were enlightened and agreed to this matter, but looking at the current situation of Hu Gongzi's money, if he wants to redeem Rui Niang, he must reach out to his family - so he can't hide the fact that he has exhausted his wealth in this green building. Obviously, his parents and elders must have thought that it must be the record of the Qinglou that tempted the child, and the original word "Ken" became unwilling.
Come to think of it, that Hu Shi'an Hu Gongzi, since he can win Rui Niang's favor, he is definitely not the kind of stupid Ganlu person - how can he not figure it out at such a critical juncture? !
Seeing that he was only wandering around Raozhou City, frequently in and out of the gambling house, he obviously didn't really want to be with Rui Niang at all!
really responded to the predecessor's sentence of "being too observant for others", and after waking up and figuring out this section, he was like a bone in his throat, and fell into a big heart - thinking that Na Rui Niang treated herself very well, and thinking that she was still there, dreaming of a good dream like a water and moon sky flower - this awakening heart is really like a hundred claws scratching the heart!
There is nothing important in this awakening statement, and I always can't help but think of this troublesome thing in my spare time.
Thinking about it, this vicious young man couldn't help it, so he thought about it, and had to think of a way to tell Rui Niang about this bad reason. It's just that there is also a bit of a difficulty in this matter - that Rui Niang, who is infatuated upside down, now only has her lover in her eyes, and she almost stays at home - there is really no reason for this situation.
When he was bored, he saw the little girl who was Ying'er, and ran to him to talk about it.
As soon as I saw Ying'er, Xingyan was just like a light in my eyes, and suddenly remembered a way - I had no way to do it, but I could let this little girl in Rui Niang's room pass the word on his behalf!
"Uh~ This method is good, but let Ying'er talk to this girl...... I'm afraid there's still something wrong."
Xingyan looked at the girl in front of him who was talking endlessly, and he was a little forward-looking and hesitant in his heart:
"If I tell her these reasons as they were, wouldn't it make the entire Huayue Building boiling? ”
Listening to Ying'er's gossip there, Xingyan was not idle in his heart, he was just thinking hard there, thinking about what he could do to get the best of both worlds......
Huh?
I think that Rui Niang is the leader among the "Four Queens of the Flower Moon", and I heard that she is also quite literal and ink-why not write a few lines of poetry that Ying'er can't understand, and let her pass it on on her behalf? I want to read a few years of school classes with Mr. Ji Ji, and I know a lot about poetry and books, which is also well-known in this Huayue Building; I want to ask Rui Niang for advice on a new poem, but it is not very abrupt. By the way, you can also use the poem to convey your greetings -- ha! Kill two birds with one stone, wonderful!
-- The troubled things that have been troubled for a few days have been cracked once, and this awakening suddenly feels extremely relaxed in my heart!
Sent away Ying'er, Xingyan hurriedly returned to his own room, turned out a piece of paper with the old Dao Qinghe painting talisman, picked up a tube of Meng Tian's vein-and-off pen, grinded out some pine smoke ink, licked the tip of the brush on the tip of his tongue, and then pondered-
"What should I write? Rui Niang, Rui Niang ......"
......
...
"There it is!"
-- First, this young man is quite quick-witted, and secondly, he is a vigilant man anyway, but not so elegant;
I saw him waving the paper, the pen walking the dragon and snake, like a cloud of smoke, and wrote four sentences on the paper:
A message to the fair lady among the flowers
The face is beautiful and clear
The gourd leaves are embarrassed to be crossed
Liberation is not necessarily compassion
Although this poem is urgent, it is also quite meaningful.
In the first two sentences, the name of "Rui Niang" is secretly sent, and she is praised for her radiant and beautiful appearance - this is also quite tactful, and it seems that the last two sentences of exhortation are not so abrupt.
The third sentence is the exhortation. The gourd leaf is light and thin, and it is about the same as the word "Hu", and if you think about it, you will be able to read it with the wisdom of Rui Niang. In the end, "liberation may not be Cihang", it was born in front of Huayue Tower, and the couplet in the building is familiar to everyone:
"The same Cihang can be liberated, and the person in color clothes is white. ”
The boy had it at his fingertips, and it was quite appropriate to use it here. Everything is ready, and now it's time to ask that Rui Niang's maid to welcome the child and pass it on your behalf.
............
......
staring at the little maid in front of him who seemed to have words in her mouth and was looking at the poems over and over again, she couldn't help but sweat in her palms, and she was really nervous:
"Ying'er, this little girl, her mouth has never been closed tightly - don't let her guess the meaning of my sentence!"
After watching it for a long time, the little girl raised her head and asked a clear question:
"Brother Xingyan~ Don't lie to me - you really don't have a love poem?"
- The tone of the voice seemed to have been salted in the waters of doubt for years!
"Uh......"
At first hearing Ying'er's words, Xingyan seemed to be choked;
"Sister Ying'er, don't think about it! I just want to ask your family Rui Niang for advice......
"Okay, okay, okay! Sensei explains, I believe you!~~" The little maid interrupted the gambling curse of the awakening and swore awk:
"Ying'er has never seen you so polite - for the sake of this, I have to do it!"
Although this sound a little awkward, Xingyan listened to it, but he was relieved.
I only heard the little girl add another sentence:
"It's really not a love poem? Wake up brother, don't bully me for not being illiterate-just come and lie to me!"
"Hmm?!he~ How can that!"
After a long time, this little girl is illiterate!
Xingyan suddenly felt a big sigh of relief.;
