Chapter 44: Beauty at Dusk
Not long after, Mu Chengxue came back alone, and she told Lin Muyao that Mu Chengshan had set off and asked her to say goodbye to the eldest lady.
The disturbers are gone, and the play continues to be rehearsed. Just when Miss Mu and Qin Gongzi were holding hands and snuggling, Lin Muyao played the opposite corner killing, first boasting a lot, and then sneering at Qin Gongzi, successfully destroying the romantic atmosphere completely.
I have to say that Lin Muyao's acting skills are much better than Qin Yan's. Qin Yan was just a little arrogant while being introverted, and Lin Muyao vividly embodied the arrogant and evil self-esteem and arrogance of the opposite corner, which made people can't help but want to pounce and bite her.
So when she asked Qin Gongzi to fight in the name of competition, Qin Gongzi agreed without saying a word. The two fought with swords, one was agile and light, the other was treacherous, and the gorgeous sword shadows exchanged in the air, dazzling to watch. This time, Qin Yan completely followed the routine recorded in "Jianghuai Sword Language", and with Lin Muyao's rhythm, the two fought heartily, and there was a pleasing beauty.
In the end, due to the setting in the sword book, it ended in a draw. After this battle, the honest and kind Qin Gongzi and the cunning and evil Lin Gongzi did not fight and did not know each other, but had a sense of sympathy. Of course, the honest Qin Gongzi couldn't imagine what evil thoughts Lin Gongzi's heart was turning. Lin Gongzi took the opportunity to stay by Miss Mu's side, and the three of them walked together, and soon encountered monsters.
Due to Lin Muyao's arrangement, the little boss of the monster is no longer concurrently served by Qin Gongzi, but is also played by a guard who is okay with fist and foot kung fu. He Zhongyi, who had been idle for a long time, also played a role here, responsible for the guidance of boxing. The plot developed smoothly, Lin Gongzi was so frightened by the monsters that he ran away in a panic, leaving Qin Gongzi to fight with the monsters alone, and won the victory desperately......
The next few scenes were rehearsed very well. By the time the sun set, the villains played by He Zhongyi had already appeared. There will be a long fight ahead, and Lin Muyao decided to save it for tomorrow to practice again, so that people can go back and rest first.
After the servants left, Lin Muyao let Qin Yan and Mu Chengxue stay. In the puzzled eyes of the two, she said: "I think the cooperation between the two of you is not very tacit, and occasionally there are some cowardices, although it is not obvious, but it is always a little unnatural." ”
"Maybe it's because I've only known Gongzi Qin for a short time. Mu Chengxue said and glanced at Qin Yan secretly, and quickly looked away, "I think it may be better tomorrow." ”
"You need to get to know each other better, don't put it off until tomorrow, start now!"
"Huh? this ...... How do you get started?"
Lin Muyao smiled slightly: "It's very simple, let's take a walk together." The scenery in the plum garden is so beautiful, shouldn't the handsome boy and the beautiful girl spend this beautiful dusk hand in hand? Even if I look back on it many years later, it will be a romantic and beautiful memory! Qin Gongzi, what are you still doing in a daze, do you want Miss Mu to invite you?"
"Ahh......h
Well, for the sake of your evil plan, Young Master Ben will reluctantly sacrifice it!
Mu Chengxue stared at Lin Muyao suspiciously: "Yao'er, I think you are so strange today, are you really stimulated in the morning?"
Lin Muyao didn't answer, but just pouted and wanted to kiss, so frightened that Mu Chengxue hurriedly shrank behind Qin Yan. Lin Muyao licked her lips in disappointment and said, "Young Master Qin, do you want Miss Ben to invite you or do you want Miss Mu to invite you?"
Qin Yan took a breath, turned around and said, "Miss Mu, it's still good today, why don't we go up the mountain for a walk?"
Mu Chengxue was silent for a long time, and nodded lightly.
The two walked side by side, along the petal-paved path to the top of the mountain. On the top of the hill is a bamboo forest, and there are also winding paths leading to seclusion. It was almost dusk, the red glow was late, and the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the mountains and forests with a layer of moist crimson, and Mu Chengxue's pretty and pink face revealed a faint red halo under the sunset, which became more and more delicate and charming.
The two walked silently with their heads down, unwilling to speak first, so they remained silent.
In the depths of the path, the evening breeze pierces through the forest, stirring the tips of the beauty's hair. Time passed calmly and silently. In this quiet and tranquil, the sunset sinks into the western mountains, a ray of light shines on the clouds, everything is unloaded with the splendor of the day, and the heaven and earth are all bleak.
Qin Yan turned his head quietly, and as far as his eyes could see, the bright and moving beautiful girl in the daytime was only a hazy shadow at this time. However, it was this hazy shadow without color that was far better than the colorful streamer, disturbing his calm heart and causing the slightest ripple.
If she is by her side in this life, it seems to be a good choice to spend such a peaceful time forever......
'No!' the depraved thought was quickly suppressed by him. If I indulge in short-lived beauty, then I will never be able to escape the torrent of fate in a few decades, and what is the difference between mediocre and mediocre people in the world?
The dream of this young master is to study the sea of stars, swim in the universe, face the North Sea and the twilight, go up and down the Yellow Spring, and seek the ultimate avenue. I'm looking for eternity, not ephemeral comfort. Just pink skeletons, how can they disturb my mind!
As soon as I thought about it, the turbulence in my chest gradually subsided. He lowered his eyes, silently recited the Taoist mantra of purifying his heart, and sank into a state of mind without sorrow or joy. Even though the faint girl's fragrance seeped into his nose, it only made him feel clear and comfortable, and there was no trace of nostalgia.
So he walked silently all the way, returned to the bottom of the mountain, and saw Lin Muyao still waiting in front of the slope from a distance. Seeing the two walking down side by side, she smiled and asked, "How was the chat, it's a good experience to accompany the beauty at dusk, right?"
Mu Chengxue raised her eyes and looked at Qin Yan, and stopped talking.
When Lin Muyao saw her like this, Qin Yan had a blank expression again, and the smile on her face gradually faded, and said, "You guys...... You can't say a word, do you?"
Mu Chengxue nodded lightly.
"I'm so angry!" Lin Muyao glanced at Qin Yan fiercely, "It's really not like wood! If he let He Lianshan know, he wouldn't be so angry that he vomited blood!"
Mu Chengxue gently pulled her: "Yao'er, Qin Gongzi's personality is more introverted, don't blame him." ”
"He's not introverted, he's stupid! Such a good opportunity, if I were a man, I would have swallowed Xue'er a long time ago, and this kid didn't even dare to speak...... Did I really choose the wrong person? Why don't you change the role back, what do you think, Cher?"
Mu Chengxue's cheeks were slightly red, and she shook her head and said, "The plot has been rehearsed for most of the time, and it's too late to replace people at this time." Moreover, although Qin Gongzi is a little sluggish, it is just right to take on this role. When I play against him, I will have a completely different feeling from Yao'er. ”
"Yo, I can't see that you still like this kid!Okay, since the heroine has said so, let's do it!" Lin Muyao said, her eyes swept over the faces of the two, and a strange light flashed in her eyes, "I still have an idea." In order to promote the tacit understanding between the two of you, let this kid go to the Cold Incense Pavilion tonight......"
"No, no, no!" Mu Chengxue shook her head repeatedly, "That's too much, if it gets out-"
"Don't worry, I won't keep him overnight, Miss Ben is still a girl who hasn't left the cabinet!" Lin Muyao grinned, "Just ask him to play a few tunes, and let him get out of the way, how about it?"
Mu Chengxue hesitated and did not say anything. So, the matter was decided.
Qin Yan had to obey Lin Muyao's call again, and followed the two eldest ladies to the Leng Xiang Pavilion together.
The cold incense pavilion is full of maids and maids. As a male, Qin Yan was only allowed to stay in the outer hall. Lin Muyao asked people to take the yaoqin and the jade flute and present them on the table respectively.
"Cher, you can show him first. After Lin Muyao finished speaking, she turned her head to Qin Yan and said, "Boy, this "Hua Yao" is Miss Mu's favorite song, and it is extremely difficult, you have to watch it carefully!"
Hearing her say this, Qin Yan didn't dare to slack off, and his eyes watched Mu Chengxue's movements for a moment.
Mu Chengxue first plucked the strings a few times at will, playing a string of smooth and cheerful notes, and the tactful sound of the piano was like flowing water. Then, she slowed down, and the sound of the piano became condensed and heavy, solemn and resentful, as if containing endless sorrow.
Qin Yan frowned, he didn't understand why Mu Chengxue obviously had superb musical skills, why did he play such an ugly tune?
Of course, he won't understand that since ancient times, the music has always been high and low, and the spring and white snow can only be appreciated by a few people. And a young man like him, who has not even stepped into the threshold of music theory, naturally cannot hear the rich emotions that the player can say in it.
The piano grew slower and slower, whimpering lowly. It was as if the spring sun had been worn out, and the attic was filled with a low depression, which ran through people's fragile hearts, like crying.
When Qin Yan listened to it, he felt as if a shadow had been cast on his heart, and his sadness and grief could not be eliminated. He was in no mood to watch Mu Chengxue's movements, so he slowly lowered his head and quietly clenched his fists.
Lin Muyao was also immersed in the sadness of the sound of the piano at this time, frowning, and didn't notice Qin Yan's small movements.
Qin Yan felt that his heart had also sunk into a dark world with the sound of the piano, unable to see the light and direction, empty and overwhelmed. Mu Chengxue did not use techniques such as illusion, but directly tugged at the soul of the audience with the music itself, which was enough to see her deep immersion in music.
Qin Yan is a good boy with dreams and pursuits, and he really can't understand the boring, empty and empty monotonous emotions in the song. He silently recited the heart-purifying mantra, isolating the sadness and sorrow in the sound of the piano, and secretly slandered in his heart: "Young Master Ben thought that the flute sound of Yu Hanyan was already a strange one-in-a-million, but I didn't expect that there was another one here that was comparable to her." These resentful women seem to be all the same, and Young Master Ben can't let them teach them badly!'
At this moment, the abrupt syllables stopped, and the hall fell silent. Mu Chengxue pressed her hands on the strings, Lin Muyao held her cheeks and pondered, both of them looked stupid and stupid, their eyes were misty, and they were silent for a long time.
