The Romance of the West Chamber: The Bells are Ringing

Since playing the piano in the garden that night, Zhang Sheng fell ill in bed. He knew that he needed rest and recuperation, but he also understood and thought to himself: "The most important thing now is to inform Miss Yingying of my illness."

"Dog, dog, no, Qintong, Zongdan, Zongdan!"

When Qin Tong heard Zhang Sheng's call, he thought to himself: "You won't call me Dog Slave this time. I think you will ask me for something else!"

He hurried to Zhang Sheng's bed and asked, "Mr. Sir, why did you call me?"

Zhang Sheng took a breath and said, "Zong Dan, go find the elder and hope that he can tell the Cui family that I am seriously ill."

Qintong thought to himself: "Are you going to sell your Junrui to a miserable life? I don't think that old thief will take pity on you."

With a calm expression on his face, he said: "Okay, Mr. Lang, you have a good rest, I'll go right away!"

So he ran to the abbot and talked to Elder Farben.

Elder Faben saw that it was Qin Tong, and when he was about to ask what was going on, Qin Tong already opened his mouth and told Zhang Sheng what he was asking for.

Faben thought about Zhang Sheng's kindness in saving the temple and said quickly: "Ah, then I have to visit Zhang Sheng!"

He rushed to the study room in the west wing, comforted Zhang Sheng, and gave Zhang Sheng some soothing pills made in the temple.

After listening to Zhang Sheng's request, he and Qintong went to Cui's house to deliver the news.

When Mrs. Cui Xiangguo saw that it was Elder Farben who came to visit in person, she treated her with courtesy. However, after hearing Farben tell the news that Zhang was seriously ill, she just nodded lightly and said, "I understand, please take care of yourself, Mr. Zhang. Take good care of yourself. As a young man, your health is good and you will get better slowly."

Her tone was calm but not filled with concern. Perhaps she felt the physical resilience of young people and believed Zhang Sheng would overcome the illness.

Qin Tong stood beside Elder Farben, waiting for Mrs. Cui Xiangguo to ask about his condition, then he could add fuel to the fire and paint Zhang Sheng as haggard and dying to arouse Mrs. Cui Xiangguo's sympathy.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Cui Xiangguo only gave a polite reply to Elder Farben and then remained silent.

Faben brought Qin Tong with him because he wanted Qin Tong to explain Zhang Sheng's condition if it was inconvenient for him to relay it. But Mrs. Cui Xiangguo seemed to be dismissive, so it was inconvenient for Qin Tong to speak again.

Standing next to Mrs. Cui was the matchmaker. She looked at Qintong with an indifferent expression, as if she didn't recognize him. This attitude filled Qintong's heart with bitterness. He wanted to convey Zhang Sheng's news, but he encountered such an attitude from the Cui family, which made him feel hurt and disappointed.

Qintong was almost certain that the matchmaker was well aware of his intentions, but she chose to pretend not to recognize him and seemed to be deliberately ignoring his existence. This cold and heartless attitude made Qin Tong feel sad.

Both worried about Zhang Sheng's condition and sad about the cold reception he received, Qin Tong had mixed emotions. However, he understood his mission and could not stay here for long. He must go back as soon as possible to convey the Cui family's response to Zhang Sheng.

So Qintong accompanied Elder Farben to say goodbye to Mrs. Cui Xiangguo and left the Cui family.

When the matchmaker saw Qin Tong and Fa Ben walking away, she thought to herself: "Hey, I wonder if Qin Tong will blame me for pretending to be a stranger just now? I can't help it. If I show any emotion, my wife will kill me." No."

Cui Yingying sat in the spacious room, thinking deeply. After listening to Zhang Sheng's music that night, her heart was filled with worry. She heard from the matchmaker that Zhang was seriously ill, which made her anxious. She knew the news left her feeling devastated, but she also realized she had to take action.

She decided to ask the matchmaker to visit Zhang Sheng in the academy to learn about his condition and convey her regards to him. She knew that the matchmaker could convey her feelings for her, which might comfort Zhang Sheng.

Cui Yingying called the matchmaker softly, and the matchmaker hurried over. She looked a little uneasy and hesitant, thinking: "My sister called me, I don't know what happened, I have to go."

Stepping into the door, Cui Yingying saw the matchmaker coming and said slightly unhappy: "I'm not feeling well, why don't you come to see me?"

The matchmaker chuckled and said deliberately: "You want to Zhang..."

Cui Yingying interrupted her without any explanation: "What are you talking about?"

The matchmaker coughed lightly and said, "I'm keeping my sister in check."

When Cui Yingying heard this, she smiled slightly and understood what she meant. She added, "I have something to trouble you with."

The matchmaker asked curiously: "What's the matter?"

Cui Yingying frowned and said, "Go and see Zhang Sheng for me and see what he says. Come back and tell me."

The matchmaker was hesitant, and she whispered: "I won't go. It would be bad if the lady finds out."

Cui Yingying felt anxious for a moment, and she begged: "Matchmaker, I call you sister! Good sister, I will bow to you twice, and you go there for me!"

The matchmaker hurriedly helped Cui Yingying up and said, "You are my sister. Sister, please get up and I will go."

After a pause, he joked again: "I just said: 'Zhang Sheng, you are so ill, but my sister is not weaker than you.' Just because the hand tuning the piano at midnight aroused Chun Gui Aiyue's heart. I My sister is not in the mood to do needlework, nor is she willing to dress up. Her eyebrows are wrinkled, full of spring hatred. If she can get some telepathic feelings, she may be able to cure her long-term illness."

After Cui Yingying heard this, her face turned red and she lowered her head.

Seeing that the matchmaker was shy, the matchmaker giggled and skipped out of the room. I thought in my heart: "Actually, I have wanted to go see Zhang Sheng for a long time. But if I go by myself, if my wife knows about it, I am afraid something will happen. Now it's okay. The young lady asked me to go. This is called the teacher's reputation, and it is justified. ! Hee hee hee! Mr. Lang, here I come!”

Cui Yingying looked up and saw the matchmaker leaving, and thought to herself: "The matchmaker is gone. I'll see what she says when she comes back. I have my own ideas."

Zhang Sheng sat alone in a small room in the academy, wrapped in a gauze quilt, looking exhausted. His mind was in a mess, filled with thoughts and conflicts about Cui Yingying.

While sighing, Zhang Sheng began to fall into deep memories. He whispered to himself: "Cui Yingying, how miserable you have caused me."

Ever since that night when he played the piano in the garden, that beautiful music seemed to be a turning point in the fate between him and Cui Yingying. Although he knew Cui Yingying was there listening, he did not dare to face her head-on for fear that he would lose his composure because of his love.

"Ever since I listened to the piano that night, I have never seen my little lady again." Zhang Sheng's voice gradually became deeper, as he recalled Cui Yingying's figure that night.

He blamed himself, thinking that he should not have gone to find Cui Yingying as early as possible, because he had never seen her again since that night. He tried to get the elder to send a message to express that he was seriously ill, but he did not receive a reply from Cui Yingying, which made him feel painful.

"I asked the elders to send a message, saying that Mr. Zhang was seriously ill, but why didn't anyone come to see me?" Zhang Sheng's eyes flashed with tears of worry, and his longing for Cui Yingying rolled in like a torrent of water, unstoppable. .

He sighed softly, looking frustrated and helpless. He began to miss Cui Yingying, her gentle smile and crystal eyes. His heart was filled with longing, and every memory was like a needle pricking deep into his heart.

He began to miss it, and the more he thought about it, the more he missed it. Cui Yingying has become a part of his life, and her absence is like missing a part of his life, making him feel empty.

Zhang Sheng's heart was full of anxiety and longing. He longed to see Cui Yingying again, hear her voice, and feel her warmth. However, he also knows that things are not simple and love is full of twists and turns. He felt helpless, but full of determination. He was willing to fight for this love, even if the road ahead was bumpy.

In the small room in the academy, Zhang Sheng's heart was like a string, plucked by longing and emitting a melodious melody. He knew that the future was full of challenges, but he was willing to face everything just to meet Cui Yingying again.

He closed his eyes and gradually fell asleep. In his dream, he seemed to see Cui Yingying's smile and bright eyes, and not only whispered: "Yingying! Little lady Yingying!"
