The Romance of the West Chamber: The Bells are Ringing

Tian Hongniang screamed in fright, turned around and hugged the piano boy Zongdan tightly, buried her head in his chest, closed her eyes tightly, and her beauty turned pale.

Zongdan, the piano boy, said pitifully: "Matchmaker, it's my fault. I'm scaring you. There are no ghosts, they are all living people!"

Tian Hongniang didn't believe it. After a while, she opened her eyes slightly. When she saw that there was no movement around, she breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but raise her fist to knock on the piano boy.

Zongdan, the piano boy, didn't dodge. Ren Tianhong Niang's little hand hit him on the head. He suddenly grinned and said, "Ah, it hurts!"

Tian Hongniang hurriedly stopped her hand and said hurriedly: "Zong Dan, what's wrong? Did I hit you on the old injury that Zhang Gong used to slap with the folding fan? Does it hurt? Let me help you rub it."

Qin boy Zongdan reached out and grabbed Tian Hongniang's arm. Tian Hongniang gasped. Qin boy Zongdan lifted her sleeves and saw bruises on her tiny arms. He couldn't help but his eyes turned red and he said angrily: "God damn this." Cui Yingying!"

He grabbed Tian Hongniang's waist with both hands, gently lifted Tian Hongniang off the horse, turned around, and put her back on the horse.

Tian Hongniang was shocked and had no time to react. She found that she was actually facing the piano boy Zongdan. The piano boy Zongdan was looking down at her eagerly. Her warm breath rushed to her face, which was full of manly breath. Unconsciously, her face was One red.

Looking up, he saw Qintong Zongdan's eyes were red and he said anxiously: "Zongdan, what's wrong with you?"

"Hong Niang, it's okay," Qintong Zongdan said, "Both of my parents died when I was young, and I have been all alone. Only you, Hong Niang, can pity me and care about me."

Tian Hongniang's heart felt hot, and she raised her head unconsciously, put her red lips on Zongdan's lips, and murmured: "Zongdan, from now on, Matchmaker will always pity you, care about you, and love you."

Qintong Zongdan hugged Tian Hongniang tightly, their bodies pressed tightly together, and their heartbeats seemed to become a beautiful melody at this moment. The matchmaker lowered her eyelashes, a faint blush appeared on her face, and her hands gently rested on the piano boy's shoulders, tenderly and shyly.

Zongdan, the piano boy, lowered his head, his eyes were deep and hot, as if he wanted to melt Tian Hongniang's heart. Their faces were so close that Tian Hongniang could feel the warmth of Zongdan's breath on her face.

Qintong Zongdan's lips came close and gently landed on Tian Hongniang's lips, dancing like a butterfly. This kiss was like the spring breeze blowing, awakening two hearts that had been silent for a long time.

Tian Hongniang felt Qintong's enthusiasm, and her heartbeat seemed to speed up with the melody. She responded proactively, her lips soft and warm, and their breaths blended into a sweet song in the kiss.

Qintong Zongdan's eyes sparkled with passion, and he kissed Tian Hongniang passionately. Their lips touched each other and their tongues intertwined, as if telling their deep love.

Tian Hongniang closed her eyes and was immersed in this passionate emotion. Her arms were wrapped around Zongdan's neck, her fingers threaded through Qintong Zongdan's hair, and she held his shoulders tightly.

Their breaths intertwined, and their heartbeats gradually synchronized. The kiss seemed like an eternity, it was full of emotion, full of passion, full of love.

After a long kiss, the eyes of Qintong Zongdan and Tian Hongniang met, and each other's pupils reflected each other's shadow. Qintong Zongdan looked at Tian Hongniang affectionately, his eyes full of love for her. Tian Hongniang also stared at Qintong Zongdan, her eyes full of dependence.

Neither of them spoke, but their eyes said it all. Their voices are conveyed in each other's eyes, and their emotions flow in each other's gaze.

Qintong Zongdan gently caressed Tian Hongniang's cheek, and his fingers gently slid on her skin, as if he were stroking a precious work of art. Tian Hongniang closed her eyes and enjoyed the gentle touch, with a happy smile on her face.

Zongdan, the piano boy, reached out and took off the blindfold that had just covered the white horse's eyes. He lifted the reins and the horse neighed and galloped forward.

Tian Hongniang rested her head on Qintong's generous chest and said softly: "Zong Dan, how are we going to make a living here?"

Qintong Zongdan said: "My grandpa has held so many official positions, and the most useful one is that of salt and iron envoy. Do you know that selling salt is very profitable. I gave you the golden hairpin because I accompanied Zhang Gong all the way." On the road to Beijing, it’s earned by going low and going high.”

Tian Hongniang exclaimed: "Wow, it's so easy to make money! This golden hairpin is extremely exquisite, and it's not cheap!"

With that said, he took out the golden hairpin from his arms and looked at it carefully.

Zongdan, the piano boy, said: "Come on, matchmaker, I'll help you take it!"

"Okay!" Tian Hongniang said happily.

Qintong Zongdan took the gold hairpin from Tian Matchmaker's hand, carefully inserted it into her bun, looked around and said, "Well, my matchmaker is really beautiful!"

Tian Hongniang blushed with embarrassment and quickly interrupted: "Then we are going to sell smuggled salt now?"

"Yes!" Qintong Zongdan said, "We will go east to Caozhou and make the salt gang our business."

Tian Hongniang said softly: "Zongdan, you said your surname is your mother's surname, what is it?"

"My surname is Huang!" Qintong Zongdan galloped on his horse and replied: "My name is Huang Zongdan!"

Tian Hongniang nodded and said, "Huang Zongdan! Okay, Zongdan, I've written it down!"

After thinking for a while, he added: "Zong Dan, tell me, if we have a child in the future, what will it be called?"

At this time, Huang Zongdan had already ridden his horse away from the tens of thousands of soldiers who had fallen to the ground. At this moment, he heard the long ringing of bells from the Pujiu Temple in the distance behind him.

Huang Zongdan reined in the reins, turned the horse's head, and stood facing Pujiu Temple.

Tian Hongniang couldn't help but turn around and look at the tall bell tower with Huang Zongdan.

Huang Zongdan looked into the distance, listening to the bells echoing in his ears, and said: "Matchmaker, you and I have had no parents and no home since we were young. What I have always wanted is to leave the master who oppressed me and have a home of my own. , It doesn’t have to be big or very nice, as long as it’s our own home.”

"Yes," Tian Hongniang's eyes were full of expectation and she said, "Zongdan, I think so too. I want to have my own home, be with you, and have our children. As a family, we don't need to be influenced by the master." of bullying.”

At this time, a bird holding something in its mouth flew past the white horse and landed on a big tree beside the road. There was a bird's nest there.

The bird got into the nest and fed the insects in its mouth to the chicks who were waiting for food with their mouths open.

Huang Zongdan and Tian Hongniang looked up and looked at each other tenderly, smiling knowingly at each other. Huang Zongdan said: "Well, our child only needs to have his own nest. Then, let's name it Chao'er!"

Tian Hongniang nodded and said, "Okay, Zong Dan, let's call him Chao'er!"

After a pause, he asked again: "Zong Dan, now that we have a name, we still need to give him a name!"

"Well, the world is in crisis, and I hope Chao'er has the power to lift the sky." Huang Zongdan looked into the distance and said, "Let's call this word "lifting the sky!"

Huang Zongdan pulled the horse's head and pulled the reins. The horse understood and galloped away.

Tian Hongniang looked forward and said softly: "Zong Dan, it would be great if our Chao'er could be like you in the future, both civil and military!"

Huang Zongdan whispered in Tian Hongniang's ear: "That's for sure! If the Eight Dynasties appointment between me and Li Zhi has come, and the noble clans are still causing trouble in the world, then my son Huang Chao and Huang Jutian can invade Chang'an City of Li Tang , Tianjie tramples all the bones of the prince! I just don’t know if my son is worthy of such a great responsibility!"

Behind him, in the Pujiu Temple where the west chamber is located, the bells sounded melodiously, and there was a long echo: "Dang! Dang! Dang!"
