Chapter II Meetings
"The temple is high, and the drums are old.
Candles and tears are red, how many people are singing?"
In the distance, there was a singing sound in the courtyard, and the pedestrians' footsteps stopped, and they stood still. Listening to the singing in the air, people seem to be intoxicated. Gongzi Xin raised his head and saw the destination of this trip - Fireworks Alley.
Fireworks Alley is the name of the place, and the alley should be a small place that is not in the stream. But here is an exception, here is not to wait for idlers and not to enter, there are not many things here every day, but every one of them is a major event that can stir up the rivers and lakes. Because there is a woman here, known as the woman who is the first person in Fireworks Lane - Xue Yingying.
"My young lady is listening to the music, and I ask my son to wait for a while. The maid serving tea put three cups of tea in front of Gongzixin, and this time there were only two people who followed Gongzixin, one was laughing at Tianlang and the other was compassionate.
The sound of the flute and the piano is still coming from the inner courtyard, and the two words of Shicai are from the inner courtyard, although Gongzi Xin does not study the music very deeply, but the music is to the world, just like the sword is to the knight, if its edge is out, even the blind can also feel the light.
"I don't know who composed the music for Miss Xue?" Gongzi Xin took a sip of tea, suddenly felt a fragrance enter his throat, and asked.
The maid stood aside and said with a smile: "It is a famous musician in Jiangzhou who was invited before, one is good at blowing the flute, the other is good at dancing, and the young lady has worked hard to find two people, and these two people are worth a lot of money." ”
Gongzi Xin said again: "I listened to the two sentences in the music of Shicai, there is a trace of sadness, but it is the sorrow of heaven and earth, and it is difficult to find such a musician who can integrate the creation of heaven and earth." ”
What Childe said was that Xiaoyu also felt depressed when she heard it, and she just wanted to fly out of the sky and feel comfortable. The maid Xiaocui grinned and said. The music inside was nearing the end, and after a while, I saw a woman come out of the inner room, and it seemed that it was Xue Yingying. There were two other people who came out with him, Gongzi Xin looked at it, and was surprised, he had seen these two people, it was the black and white two people he saw in the canopy boat on the river yesterday.
"Mr. Song, Mr. Gao walks slowly, the little woman has something to do, and it is inconvenient to send more. Xue Yingying sent the two of them all the way to the door, and then said goodbye.
Song Li took his leave. The man in white prayed. But the man in black looked up to the sky and laughed when he came out of the courtyard, and he didn't know why he was happy, why was he happy?
The substitute brother said goodbye to Miss Xue. ”
"Sir, go slowly!"
Xue Yingying stood at the lintel, watching the two gradually walk away, and then turned around. The smile on her face had disappeared, and a maid had already moved a chair, Xue Yingying sat lazily on the chair, raised her arm, and called for a cup of tea. After taking a sip of tea, Xue Yingying stared at Gongzixin and said with a smile.
"Xin Gongzi thinks the tea here is delicious?"
Gongzixin looked at the woman in front of him again, the woman raised by the water in the south of the Yangtze River was really rare delicate and charming. But there are also more changes in water, the wisdom of water, if such a woman is born, she should have the talent to overwhelm the country and the city.
"Tea is good, but nothing is good. Gongzi Xin said.
Xue Yingying frowned and asked, "What is it?"
"Far away, close at hand. Gongzi Xin said with a smile, he was not talking about cups and devices, not famous landscape paintings. It's the beauty in front of you, and if the beauty is there, the shadow of whatever will be dimmed.
"You dare to laugh at me. Xue Yingying smiled brightly, and she didn't know whether she was angry or funny. The teacup in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.
"It's rude under it. Childe Xin said.
"That's it, the son's unintentional mistake, the slave family won't care. Xue Yingying smiled again and again, and said, "But since the son is here, do you know why he came?"
"Xin doesn't know. ”
"Childe take a look at this thing. Xue Yingying hooked her fingers, and a maid walked in with a tray. There is a golden box on the plate.
"Golden Dragon Box!"
Xiao Tianlang screamed in surprise.
Of course, Gongzixin recognized the box in front of him, but what surprised him was the box itself, it seemed that this was clearly the original appearance of the box back then, that is to say, Xue Yingying did not take out the map in the box at all, so the map taken out from here naturally could not be faked.
"What do you mean, girl?" Gongzi Xin asked in a deep voice.
Xue Yingying stroked the beaded bun on the side of her head, straightened her body lying on her side, and said four words in her mouth.
"Send it to Childe!"
Xiao Tianlang's heart moved, and compassion was even more joyful, no one could have imagined that it would take no effort to get it. looked at the golden dragon box within reach with compassion, and only felt that the treasure was already within reach.
"What does the girl mean?" Gongzi Xin smiled and asked in a deep voice.
"Dare to ask what Childe wants?"
"It's in the girl's hand. ”
"In this case, the gentleman has the beauty of taking advantage of others, and although the little woman is not a gentleman, she also admires the child. Just a small courtesy, He Cheng respects. ”
Having said that, Gongzixin didn't pick up the box, and the compassion around him was anxious for a while. I can't wait to go up and grab the box myself.
"Don't worry, Childe, I will never threaten Childe with anything, if Childe doesn't believe it, you can take this box away now, and I will never chase Childe. ”
"Is that true?"
"No jokes!"
After a long time, only the sound of drinking tea could be heard, and no one dared to speak.
Coming out of the fireworks alley, the sky has darkened, and the sunset in the distance hangs obliquely on the side of the river, and the glow is a little dazzling. Gongzixin walked all the way in a hurry, and returned to the inn where he stayed almost without stopping. He looked a little tired.
Xiao Tianlang and Compassion followed behind him, silent.
There are not many people in the inn now, and I heard that some famous women have come today, and they all go to see it, because it seems a little depressed and desolate. In such an empty room, Gongzi Xin stood in front of the window, as if he was thinking about something, but someone couldn't help but walk up.
"Why doesn't Childe want the Golden Dragon Box?" asked Compassion, he held his breath along the way, and finally spit out at this moment.
Gongzi Xin turned his head and asked, "Do you know Xue Yingying?"
Compassion was surprised by his question, but still replied: "The first person in Fireworks Alley, who used to be the owner of Yanyu Building, and then Yanyu Building was broken from time to time, so she hid in Fireworks Lane. ”
"Such a person knows that I came to pick up her things, but he still wants to give them to me with both hands, why do you say?"
"Childe, please speak. ”
"She's going to kill me!"
