I wish for a long time

It's been a long time since they looked into each other's eyes.

Xue Yuning unconsciously clenched his wine glass tightly.

Those eyes were as clear as before, but there was an emotion she couldn't understand.

Song Chuxun's hands gradually slowed down, plucking the last few strings.

Swimming with her fingertips, the zither sounded around her side and landed on her heart, her eyebrows trembled slightly.

What is a thousand years at a glance.

She didn't understand it before, but now she understands it.

"Good! Good!"

The clapping and applause of old master Xue resounded in the hallway. I don't know if it was because of the smell of alcohol, but his hands didn't shake anymore, and his voice was full of anger.

Everyone in the court came to their senses one after another, Xue Yuning was no exception.

She woke up like a dream, and the noisy voices around her poured into her ears. She panicked for no reason, and after taking a deep look at Song Chuxun, she finally turned her head away.

Song Chuxun's fingertips were still resting on the last string, and the emerald figure in the distance was like a lotus emerging from water, with a graceful figure, not as handsome as when he was a son, but like a piece of flawless jasper, soothing and silent.

Song Chuxun suddenly chuckled.

Even if he stood in front of her, he didn't want to tarnish her future.

"Miss Chuxun's zither sound...sometimes mellow and lively, and sometimes majestic. I haven't heard such a tune for a long time, and it really hits my heart."

Mr. Xue shook his head again and again, with a look of relief.He picked up the jug, poured a glass of wine, and raised his glass to Song Chuxun from afar, "Good wine matches a beautiful woman, Miss Chuxun, can you show me your face?"

He Jin stroked his beard, narrowed his eyes, and smiled deeply. With a little finger, a maid poured a glass of wine and walked to Song Chuxun's side.

Xue Yuning frowned all of a sudden.

Although Song Chuxun is a good wine maker and taster, his drinking capacity is really not flattering.And today's wine is obviously not the low alcohol she said.

Xue Jingning turned around quietly, ready to get up at any time.

When the wine glass was handed to him, Song Chuxun frowned unconsciously.

Chou Chou, went around in a circle, and ended up drinking his own head.

Is it okay to add the process at any time?

She looked up at the crowd, frowned, and took the glass with her hand, "Thank you, Mrs. Xue, for the reward."

After finishing speaking, he gently lifted the veil and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

"Okay, girl Chuxun is refreshing."

He Jin applauded first, and the surrounding gentlemen saw the situation and echoed repeatedly.

"Mr. Xue has found the news. Congratulations."

"Yeah, this is not a beautiful woman with good wine, this is obviously a beautiful woman who is drunk."

"You don't know, this Chuxun girl has always been aloof, and today she can celebrate Mr. Xue's birthday and drink, so she has her own intentions."

"Boss Guan is surprised by this statement. No matter how innocent this Huamanlou is, it is an out-and-out lowly family. How can it climb up to the lintel of Xue's family?"

"Snapped--"

The sound of a wine glass falling on the table was a bit abrupt in the words.

Seeing the neighbor looking over, Madam Xue glared at Xue Jingning, "Jing'er, what's wrong with you today?"

Xue Jingning glanced at the opposite table and snorted, "My hand slipped."

Master Xue was listening to the ups and downs of the people at the table talking and whispering, and he couldn't hold back.For a moment, he didn't understand whether this He Xiancheng sincerely sent piano friends for the old man, or humiliated his Xue family.

He Jin waved his hands indifferently when he heard the words, "Everyone's words are biased. Although Miss Chuxun committed herself to the land of the brothel, she is not a slave. Don't lie, everyone."

"Is this true?"

He Jin glanced at Boss Sun, and said with a smile: "The government is on the register, so can He still tell lies?"

Several people at the table nodded when they heard the words. Although it was a bit unusual, since the county magistrate said so, it was probably true.

"In this way, I heard that the second son has always been in contact with Huamanlou. Could it be that this lady is giving Xue Er face today?"

Xue Jingning's face collapsed when he was called suddenly. He raised his head, his eyes were tinged with some chill.

Xue Yuning folded his hands on his lower abdomen, feeling that a ball of fire was constantly climbing up his head. In this cold spring season, it was so hot.

"I do have some contacts with Miss Chuxun. Miss Chuxun is kind-hearted, and she still has a simple heart in a troubled place in the world. In terms of her knowledge and mind, even if you look at the entire Yuncheng, few people can match it."

Xue Jingning stood up, bowed to the opposite table in a neither humble nor overbearing manner, but did not give in at all in words.

The people at the table were stunned for a moment, and then teased, "Since the second son appreciates Miss Chuxun so much, why not accept her as a concubine, and the old man will suffer from the difficulty of finding a soulmate."

Xue Jingning's eyes turned red, "You."

"Jing'er, sit down."

Mrs. Xue suddenly interrupted what Xue Jingning was about to say, and her eyes signaled him to sit down obediently.She turned sideways and nodded towards the opposite side, "My lords and masters, don't care about like a dog. Miss Chuxun is unparalleled in intelligence, but the Xue family has an ancestor's precept, and in the house, you should not be with the worldly women."

Mrs. Xue's tone was neither strong nor soft, but it hit the hearts of several people deeply.

Xue Yuning subconsciously looked at the red figure in the courtyard. The first thing she thought of was not surprise, but Song Chuxun's grievance when she heard this.

But she was wrong.

From the time when a group of old men with fast braids were talking loudly and brazenly, Song Chuxun didn't react at all during the whole process.

Her peach blossom eyes are still soft, still full of charm, sweeping across every cheek, some are ironic, some are obscene, some are sympathetic, and some are regretful.

There are all kinds of things in the world, and there are thousands of skins on the human body, but she has experienced them all at this time.

It was even a bit more exciting than Hua Man Lou.

Song Chuxun's eyes fell on those two familiar figures, and the corners of his lips under the veil wanted to lift, but he couldn't pull them away.

Fortunately, the veil is still thick, and no one cares if she doesn't pretend.

I have to say that her location is excellent, just in the middle of the courtyard.Song Chuxun lowered her head and glanced at Jiao Weiqin in front of her. One day she was in an opera, and the next day she was watching an opera.

The masters at the next table were stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly and said: "If this is the case, then we have no chance, then let's have wine, drink!"

Master Xue's face softened a little when he heard the words, as long as this embarrassing and difficult topic is not brought up, everything will be fine.He nodded slightly towards Mrs. Xue, and then dealt with everyone at the table.

Xue Yuning's eyes kept on Song Chuxun, she couldn't see that person's expression clearly, nor her movements, she just felt that Song Chuxun was very quiet today.

"The old man remembers that besides playing the song well, the lady of Hua Kui also dances beautifully. Now that they are all here, why don't you let Miss Chuxun dance a song for the old man, how about helping the old man?"

Xue Jingning cursed in a low voice: "It's still fucking over!"

Xue Yuning gritted her teeth secretly, she swept across the opposite table and stood up.

Song Chuxun watched Xue Yuning stand up, her heart trembled, and her smiling eyebrows gradually sank.

Xue Yuning, have you forgotten your identity?

But for a moment, she was expecting what the man would say.

"Yu'er?" Mrs. Lin didn't stop her, and shouted in a low voice, "What are you doing?"

Xue Yuning smiled slightly, moved her lotus steps lightly, and bowed to Master Xue, "Father, Miss Chuxun is from a daughter's family, and her body is thin. Look at the cold spring and the wind is biting. Don't dance anymore today. "

Mr. Xue was worried that these people were booing one after another, his daughter's words were very decent, he felt relieved, but on the face he pretended to be embarrassed: "This..."

Seeing this, He Jin smiled: "It's okay, Miss Xue is so considerate and lovely, it's really everyone's demeanor."

Old Master Xue's brows were even brighter when he heard the words. He was about to speak when Old Master Xue suddenly spoke.

"So... no more dancing?"

Master Xue's face collapsed, he never expected that it was his father who lifted his platform.

"grandfather."

Xue Yuning stepped forward and held Mr. Xue's arm, with a sweet smile that seldom appeared on his face, "Then let Miss Chuxun stay with my granddaughter, and when it gets warmer tomorrow, how about playing piano with you again?"

Mr. Xue thought about it for a while, and said yes repeatedly, "It's Yihu'er."

Xue Yuning straightened up, and bent the corners of her lips towards Mrs. Lin, "Aniang, since Miss Chuxun is a guest, it's not a violation of the ancestor's precept."

Mrs. Xue rushed the duck to the shelves, so she had no choice but to respond, "Of course it doesn't count."

Xue Jingning on the side finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words.

Seeing that the host had already spoken, everyone at the table said it was a pity, but they couldn't say much.

Xue Yuning bowed to everyone, then turned around, walked through the courtyard corridor, and walked towards the lonely shadow in the courtyard.

Song Chuxun was still sitting in front of the piano, looking up at the green figure.

It's getting clearer and clearer, but somehow it feels a little strange.

"Chu Xun girl."

Song Chuxun looked at the white and tender palm stretched out in front of him, and strangled himself.

She stood up straight and bowed to Xue Yuning, "I have met Miss Xue."

Xue Yuning looked at his hand hanging in the air, and was stunned for a moment.

Song Chuxun straightened up, and nodded slightly in the court, "Today, everyone's interest has been swept away. Chuxun punishes himself with three cups here, and he has the right to make an apology."

"Chu Xun!"

Xue Yuning yelled for a moment, but saw that Song Chuxun had already picked up a glass, and he drank it with his head raised.

In the distance, Xue Jingning made a fist with his right hand, but couldn't say anything, so he could only watch helplessly.

After three glasses of wine, everyone in the court kept laughing, as if the dullness just now had been drowned out by just three glasses of wine.

Song Chuxun threw away the wine glass, bent down to pick up Jiao Weiqin, and smiled slightly at Xue Yuning, "Miss Xue, please lead the way."

……

The courtyard corridor was not very far from Xue Yuning's Orchid Garden, but along the way, the two walked one after the other, and neither of them spoke.

Song Chuxun fell one meter behind Xue Yuning, and the corners of her emerald skirt kept swaying in front of her eyes, which made her feel restless. She pulled off her veil and took a deep breath.

Xue Yuning stopped immediately and turned to look at her.

Song Chuxun smiled casually, then looked ahead, walked around her with his feet, and walked forward.

Xue Yuning was stunned for a moment, pursed her lips, and silently followed behind her.

"where are you going."

After half a stick of incense had passed, Xue Yuning suddenly spoke.

Song Chuxun stopped, turned his back to her, and chuckled, "Naturally find a place where I can sleep."

Xue Yuning turned his head and looked to the side, "You passed by."

Song Chuxun: "..."

She suppressed the arched fire, turned her head and walked over quickly, "Then don't call me!"

Xue Yuning folded her hands in front of her body, and with the soft moonlight behind her, she tilted her head with a smile, "Sorry, I was distracted."

There were not many people in Lan Yuan at this time, Song Chuxun followed Xue Yuning into the room, but few people noticed.

Xue Yuning closed the door with his backhand, held back his words, and finally asked, "Chu Xun, why are you here?"

Song Chuxun put the piano on the table, sat on the chair, raised his legs, "Miss Xue is going to share the bed with me?"

Seeing her nonchalant look, Xue Yuning frowned, and took two steps forward, "Chu Xun, do you know that the people seated today are all prominent figures in Yuncheng, why bother to show yourself in front of others and cause trouble for yourself."

Feeling thirsty, Song Chuxun looked around for a teapot, "I always like to be lively, I'm just bored and having fun."

Xue Yuning looked at her profile and felt a sharp pain in her heart. She bit her lip and clenched her hands into fists, "Chu Xun, these country gentry and officials are not like the elegant men in your building at all. When will they take women away?" Seriously, why do you..."

Xue Yuning thought of those heart-wrenching words at the table just now, as if they were stabbed in his heart one after another.

Song Chuxun took a sip of tea and completed for her, "Do you want to humiliate yourself?"

"Are you willing to fall?"

"Let anyone play with you?"

"Chu Xun, stop talking!"

"Snapped--"

Song Chuxun smashed the teacup on the table, and stared directly at Xue Yuning with extremely quiet anger in his peach blossom eyes.

Xue Yuning froze in place for a moment, only to see Song Chuxun's scornful smile: "If it's about humiliation, it's about playing with, it's about nothing."

"Who can compare to you, Miss Xue."

The author has something to say: I was a little depressed when I wrote it.I will try to add more tomorrow to pass this party, alas.
