Tang riddles

The reception hall in the small courtyard of the Shen family was the place where Shen Jin lived most of the day.Her wheelchair is specially made by Shen Sui. There are chopping boards on both sides of the armrests that can be joined together and placed horizontally in front of her. It is very convenient to write on and practice the piano.The reason why she spends most of the time in the front hall every day is because the front hall has the best sunlight and can block the cold wind.There were a lot of visitors to the small courtyard of the Shen family these days, and indirectly, Shen Jin became the host to receive these guests.The Chang'an officials who have visited Shen's small courtyard all know one thing, Shen Sui has a younger brother who is half paralyzed and unable to speak.The weak willow Fufeng, clear and elegant, although physically disabled, has a strong will and an extraordinary bearing, quite the demeanor of a commoner, arousing pity and admiration.

When Qianhe came to visit on the sixth day of the lunar new year, it happened that Xuan Weizi came to talk to Shen Sui about something, Shen Sui came out soon, Xuan Weizi finished talking and left in a hurry.After that, Shen Sui personally received Qianhe. Although Shen Jin was in the same room, he didn't have time to communicate with Qianhe.However, Qianhe was still very recognizable, and Shen Jin recognized at a glance that this person was the solo traveler he met at the gate of the city a few days ago.Unexpectedly, she was the servant of Sister Lian Maid. The fate in this world is really wonderful.

"This guest..." After reading the letter, Shen Sui didn't know how to address this blind girl who was holding a Japanese knife.She didn't expect that Zhang Ruohan's coachman, who was rumored to have traveled far and never returned, would be such a girl in men's clothing.Moreover, although she is already very indifferent, Shen Sui can still see the shadow of the Dongying people from her, she is not from the Tang Dynasty.

"In Xiayuan Qianhe, Shen Si can just call me Qianhe." Qianhe said briefly and crisply.

"Mr. Qianhe wait a moment. I will write a reply letter. Please take it back to Mrs. Zhang San. Qin Nu, please accompany Mr. Qianhe, and I will be back in a while." After hastily explaining, Shen Sui immediately returned to the study.

In the front hall, Qianhe and Shen Jin were left alone.

Shen Jin smiled helplessly. Her elder sister was usually very shrewd and careful, but today she inadvertently became confused.

How could she receive someone who couldn't see when she couldn't speak?When she mouths and gestures, the other party can't see it; when the other party talks to her, she can't respond.Unless you write on the other person's hand, such skin-to-skin contact should not be done.

Originally, the bluebird never left her, but it was a coincidence that Qianhe came, and the bluebird followed her to the pharmacy to get medicine.Bluebird is in charge of boiling medicine for her on weekdays, and Yingniang must explain to her the dosage of each medicine.After a while, I can't make it back.

Thinking that maybe Hutuo is in the outer courtyard, let's call him.So he rang the silver bell hanging under the armrest of the wheelchair, and the clear bell rang. The yard was not big, and the sound was so penetrating that Hutuo could hear it.

Unexpectedly, in the future of Hutuo, Qianhe, who was standing by the side, heard the ringing of the bell, moved his ears, and suddenly said:

"Dare to ask, but on December [-]th, the person in the car who met someone at the gate of the city?"

Shen Jin looked at Yuan Qianhe with a little surprise, but he didn't expect this person to be able to tell her identity from the ringtone.The silver bell on her wheelchair was indeed the bell that hung in the car that day.This bell was built for her by her elder sister after she lost her voice.Since then, I carry it with me and never leave it.Whenever something happened, the bell would always ring. Over time, people around me were very sensitive to the bell.Every time you hear the bell, you will follow the sound.

Shen Jin wanted to answer Yuan Qianhe, but couldn't make a sound, and the other party couldn't see her movements.I was in trouble for a while, so I had to ring the bell again.

Yuan Qianhe was very clever, when the bell rang again, he knew he had guessed correctly.Can't help laughing, said:

"I didn't expect that this step is actually Shen Sizhi's younger brother. It's really a fate to meet from thousands of miles away. Qianhe met Shen Erlang, and thanked Erlang for saving Qianhe that day." He said and saluted in the direction where the bell rang.

Shen Jin shook his head subconsciously. After making a movement, he realized that the other party was invisible.I couldn't help but want to explain again, but I couldn't make a sound.Since she lost her voice, this was the first time that she was so eager to express something to someone.Perhaps it was because the other party, like her, was not a perfect person. The communication between the deaf person and the blind person was separated by many obstacles, which made her anxious.

In desperation, Shen Jin rolled the wheelchair and approached Yuan Qianhe.When Yuan Qianhe heard the crisp silver bell "Ding Lingling" approaching him, he knew that Shen Jin was coming.She also heard the wheels crushing the ground and the sound of the wheels. She recalled the rumors about Shen Jia Erlang in Chang'an City, and knew that he had limited mobility and could only sit in a wheelchair.

Qianhe has a broad-minded personality, has gone through vicissitudes, is mature and experienced, and is not too hypocritical.She has never concealed her identity as a woman, and she wears men's clothes just for the convenience of movement.In her heart, the defense between men and women is not that serious.Shen Jin's approach gave her a telepathic feeling. She knew that the other party came to communicate with her, so she reached out her hand very understandingly, and said with a smile:

"If Erlang doesn't dislike it, feel free to write what you want in my palm. Even though I'm not so humble, I can still read the characters."

Although Shen Jin has been disguised as a man with his sister for many years, his temperament has long been honed to be strong and cold, but there is still a softness of a daughter's family deep in his heart.Before she disguised herself as a man, she was naturally weak and gentle. Now that she is dressed as a man, it is difficult to show the heroism of a man. The gap between her and her sister is not so big.Therefore, Qianhe's open-mindedness at this moment made her a little embarrassed.Except for a few relatives around her, she has never had physical contact with outsiders since she grew up to this age.Even though the other party is a woman like herself, she is now pretending to be a man anyway, thinking that it would be bad if she just held hands like this.

After thinking about it, her daughter doesn't care, so why should she be so rigid about etiquette and customs.So he smiled self-deprecatingly, raised his hand to take Qianhe's palm, and began to write in her hand.

Qianhe, who was blindfolded with a black cloth, was quite willful at first, and didn't take this matter as a serious etiquette defense.However, when a pair of soft and warm hands were attached to hers, "Dong Dong", her heart suddenly paused and missed a beat.Those hands did not look like a pair of men's hands at all, they were very thin and small, although they were slender and had well-defined joints, they were not obtrusive to the touch, with soft lines.The fingers are slender, the ten fingertips have a layer of calluses that are neither thick nor thin, and the nails are quite clean and round. Could it be left over from playing the piano all the year round?

The skin of those hands was delicate and smooth, and the temperature was slightly cool. For some reason, it reminded Qianhe of the iced grapes in the well in the dog days.The left hand of those hands supported the back of his own hand, and the index finger of his right hand slid in the palm, slightly scratching the calluses in Qianhe's palm that had fallen from holding the knife all the year round, itching, as if directly scratching his heart through the palm of his hand.

Shen Jin held Qianhe's hand and wrote a sentence in her palm:

【The person who saved you is not me, but Xuanweizi.I just asked him to make it easier. 】

Qianhe understood what she said, and said: "Erlang's words are wrong. Why not do something that benefits others and yourself? I am very grateful. If it weren't for your approval, how could Xuan Weizi come to help without authorization? Me. The sound of your bell made a deep impression on me at that time. Although I am blind in my eyes, I am not blind in my heart."

Hearing what she said, Chizuru smiled and wrote:

[Jun Qianhe listened so well, Jin admired it very much.Jin thought that most of the ringtones in the world were the same, but he didn't know that there were differences in Qianhejun's ears. 】

"Hahaha," Qianhe said with a hearty smile, "there are hundreds of millions of bells in the world, and their timbres are completely different. In my lower ears, I have never heard the same ringtone. Erlang's ringtone is especially clear and melodious, with strong penetrating power. , Impressed me deeply. However, excuse me, Erlang has a unique scent of rosin, which is also highly recognizable. Combining the two, I can recognize it quickly."

So it turned out that Shen Jin sniffed her clothes secretly, and there was indeed a pine scent, but she usually didn't care about it.This is because she has played the piano for a long time, and the strings need rosin paste for maintenance.

Qianhe heard the rubbing of sleeves and robes, and guessed that Shen Jin might be sniffing his clothes. The scene seemed to be vividly displayed in front of his eyes, making Qianhe couldn't help laughing.That smile was bright, and the chilling aura brought by the blindfolded black cloth was instantly covered up, replaced by a refreshing demeanor like a breeze.That momentary smile made Shen Jin's eyes widen, and he couldn't recover for a while.Then, feeling a little embarrassed again, she understood that she was being laughed at.But unexpectedly, there was no repulsion in my heart, but some joy.

At this moment, the two people who were quietly communicating in the front hall did not notice that just outside the main entrance of the front hall, Shen Sui was holding Hutuo, quietly hiding beside the door, observing every move in the hall.

"Dalang..." Hutuo called softly.He was very speechless. He heard the sound of the bell, so he immediately walked in from the front yard.But he didn't expect Shen Sui to jump over from the roof and stop him.Presumably, Shen Sui should have observed the situation in the house in advance, so he deliberately used lightness kung fu to leap over the roof of the front hall to stop him.

"Hutuo..." There was a complicated smile on Shen Sui's face, he was excited and curious, and also somewhat relieved and moved, "There are so many wonderful things in this world, aren't there?"

Hu Tuo was stunned for a moment, then smiled lightly and agreed: "What Da Lang said is true."

"If my piano slave can make a sincere friend, that would be great." Shen Sui said softly.

"But is this source of thousand cranes reliable?" Hutuo asked.

"I believe Sister Lianmai sees people well. Since she has taken her into her hands, this person must be a trustworthy person." Shen Sui said, "Go, I'll be right back."

After all, regardless of Hutuo, he jumped onto the roof again and turned back to the backyard.After that, he pretended to come out of the back hall with a reply letter.The scene of Shen Jin quickly letting go of Yuan Qianhe's hand was caught in her eyes. Seeing the red clouds floating on her sister's pale face, she almost couldn't hold back her laughter.When handing the letter to Minazuru, she said meaningfully and with a pun:

"Qianhe-kun, I may have to trouble you to come here often in the future."

"Shen Sizhi is too polite, Sanniang is sending you, Qianhe should do his best." Qianhe didn't catch the pun in Shen Sui's words, took the letter, bowed to Shen Sui and Shen Jin, and then calmed down. leave.Shen Jin's gaze followed her, watching her disappear at the door with some reluctance.

Shen Sui looked at his younger sister, chuckled lightly, and said nothing.She walked into the yard and looked at a white-tailed swift playing on the top of the eaves. Her lips were pursed, the tip of her tongue curled up, and she suddenly blew a clear and pleasant whistle. The whistle sounded rhythmically, and the white-tailed swift heard the whistle. He tilted his head to look at Shen Sui, hesitated for a moment, and flew towards her.Shen Sui stretched out her right index finger with a smile, Swift flapped her wings and stood on her finger.

Shen Sui whistled to Swift a few more times, and the birds chirped as if responding to her, one person and one swallow chirped and "talked" for a while, and Swift was already very affectionate to Shen Sui, and she didn't want to fly away. go.Shen Sui did not know where to find a few pieces of bird food, fed them to Swift, then combed her feathers with his hands, and said with a smile:

"Good Yan'er, go and recognize Zhang's family. If you see Sister Lianmaid, you must tell her that Chishi has been thinking about her and has never forgotten her. I don't count what I wrote in the letter. Let her Don't believe it."

Shen Jin on the side couldn't help but shed cold sweat when he heard the words, and thought, "Sister, what did you write in your letter?"

But when Shen Sui raised his hand, Yan'er flew away with fluttering wings.This miraculous bird taming technique is the unique secret technique handed down by their Shen family. If this technique is perfected, it can almost achieve barrier-free communication with birds, but not all descendants of the Shen family can learn it.Shen Jin wouldn't know it, but Shen Sui was a genius who hadn't been born in the world for hundreds of years in terms of bird taming.Every time Shen Sui used this unique skill, Shen Jin felt as wonderful as a vivid picture scroll unfolding in front of his eyes.That is not taming birds, but making friends with birds, so like spring breeze.

Looking at the soaring swift, Shen Jin suddenly became a little envious of it. If she could fly so freely and sing tactfully, she would have no regrets in this life.
