[Qing Chuan] Qing Chuan Wu Shi

Zhuqi continued to say: "Master, I heard that Fang Junfang has another great skill: she mixed the tones of Kunqu, Bangzi and Xiaoqu to create her own tune, which no one who heard it will forget! ".

Qingming, who was buried in the sideburns at the side, heard the word "Kunqiang", paused in the movement of his hands, and looked up at Zhuqi.

Wu Ning was also surprised and said: "Kun tune and Bangzi tune mixed together?" In his heart, such a mix of north and south, I am afraid that the tune that comes out will be weird, no matter how good Fang Junfang's voice is, he will not be able to hear it well.

After chatting for a while, the fourth elder brother came. Wu Ning didn't have time to order his servants to clean up. As soon as the fourth elder brother entered the inner room, he saw a table full of temple flowers, silk materials, scissors, needles, threads, and copper wire... Wu Ning thought Seeing that these were not shady things, he calmly greeted the fourth elder brother.

"Starting needlework? I'm very interested."

The fourth elder brother smiled and took Wu Ning's hand to the table, glanced across the table, and picked up a semi-finished peach flower. Seeing that the copper wire was not tied tightly, Wu Ning just wanted to remind, the silk The petals made of material had already slipped off the copper wire, and after a while, only the bare flower skeleton was left in Fourth Master's hand.

Wu Ning: "...".

The fourth elder brother put down the flower bone without any apologies, picked up another finished flower, turned it around in his hand to admire it, and said, "You made this?" Pulling the pistil, he said: "It's like an imitation, and the subtleties are also carefully."

Wu Ning reckoned that the fourth elder brother might be in a very good mood today, and he actually thought about commenting on the girl in the boudoir, so he smiled and said: "This is not made by my concubine, but those few flowers are.", pointing There are a few rough and strong flowers on the edge of the finger.

The fourth elder brother dropped the temple flowers in his hand, looked at Wu Ning with a smile, and said, "I think so too."

The fourth elder brother sat down, and Wu Ning also sat on the short embroidered pier on his right. He slightly raised his head and looked at the fourth elder brother. The fourth elder brother grabbed a piece of cut silk and said, "This material looks familiar. .”

Wu Ning looked at his face, and Xu Xu explained: "It was a reward from the master a while ago. I wanted to use some leftover material to make sideburns. In the future, this material will be made into clothes, and the color will match.".

The fourth elder brother twirled the flowers in his hand, without saying a word, turned his head and said: "Su Peisheng!".

Su Peisheng came over briskly.

"Go to the warehouse, pick up the batch of bead flowers that came in last month, pick up the elegant ones, pick more, and send them to your master Wu."

Su Peisheng agreed to go.

After a while, led by Su Peisheng, several young eunuchs came back in a mighty manner, holding Yishitou's black sandalwood lacquered and inlaid mother-of-pearl box in their hands. The flowers must be worth a lot, so he got up quickly and said: "Thank you for your generous reward." The fourth elder brother was sipping tea, and after hearing this, he glanced at her from the side of the tea bowl, thinking that this girl is easy to satisfy, which is considered generous Rewarded?

Su Peisheng opened the box. The inside of the box was lined with brocade with a black background, and a slight depression was made in the middle, which was used to place pearl flowers.Wu Ningjian is a gorgeous and magnificent feathered emerald head flower, the color of the feather can be seen to be top grade at a glance, it is extremely pure emerald blue and the rarest snow blue, the edge of the feather is surrounded by a circle of gold and embossed jade. The sides are unevenly embedded to create a three-dimensional effect, and when opened, the room is filled with light, which makes people dazzled.

In the other several boxes, there are gold-threaded double butterflies playing with pearl heads, flowers inlaid with pearls and gemstones, emerald emeralds inlaid with gemstones and fruit heads, gold inlaid rice beads Xizai headflowers, emerald emeralds inlaid with coral and turquoise gourd headflowers .

Among them, the eyes and antennae of the Shuangdie Xizhu flower on the head of the insect and bird are made of thin copper wire to make a very elastic spring. When the box is opened, it will swing from side to side with a slight movement, as if alive.

The other head flowers are also rich in color but elegant: there are chrysanthemums in light yellow, apricot yellow, and tea brown; plum blossoms in snow, lotus root, and moonlight white; pea green, lake blue, and sky blue Three-color orchids; three-color peach blossoms of Lutaohong, Yinhong, and Yangfeihong, etc.

Wu Ning was slightly misled, turned around and said: "Master, I don't need so many."

The fourth elder brother didn't raise his eyes and said: "Since I have given you a reward, I will take it. After a while, the thirteenth brother's birthday party can also be dressed up."

Wu Ning murmured in his heart: fourth master, do you dislike me for wearing silk flowers that are too shabby and embarrassing your family...

The fourth elder brother glanced at the expression on her face, and already guessed what Wu Ning was thinking in his heart.

He was angry and funny, put down the teacup, pulled Wu Ning in front of him, and said: "I know you are a quiet person who doesn't like to show off, but your clothes are already plain, you might as well use some precious materials for your hair.".

Wu Ning was held by him, only felt that the palm of the fourth elder brother was warm and dry, and saw that he was looking at him with a smile, so he gently stroked the palm of the fourth elder brother with his finger, with a little coquettish meaning, and said: "The concubine understands."

The fourth elder brother felt her small movements in his palm, his eyes suddenly brightened a little, let go of her, and said to Su Peisheng: "Send some to Fujin, your Master Song, and Master Li, saying it is my reward. You follow the old rules for the weight."

Su Peisheng took the order and went.

The fourth elder brother reached out and picked out the three-color plum blossom head flower of snow color, lotus root color and moonlight white, put it on the side of Wu Ning's temples, and then slightly turned his head back, shook his head and said: "I'm not happy. ", changed a chrysanthemum head flower in three colors of light yellow, apricot yellow, and tea brown, and said: "This branch is not bad, this one is it." As he said, he reached out to help Wu Ning insert it.

Wu Ning stretched out his head obediently to be manipulated by the fourth elder brother. Seeing this, Zhuqi immediately led a group of servants back out and closed the door.

The fourth elder brother inserted half of the bead flower in a strange way, and was tangling a strand of hair. With a light stroke, Wu Ning couldn't help but yelled "Oops" and quickly covered his head.The bead flower half fell in the hair.

The fourth elder brother blinked cunningly, and said: "I am not familiar with this kind of girl's things." Wu Ning covered his head and did not make a sound. The fourth elder brother stood up, gently wrapped her in his arms, and said softly Said: "Is it painful? Let me see."

He looked at Wu Ning, as if looking at a lost treasure.

Wu Ning was in his arms, struggled slightly, and said: "The master let go of the concubine, the concubine can come by herself.".

The fourth elder brother didn't let go, but he didn't go any further, he just held Wu Ning in his arms vainly, and said softly: "Now there is no outsider, maybe you don't need the word 'concubine body'.".

Wu Ning supported the bead flower, groped and carefully inserted it into the temple hair, subconsciously and clumsily said: "Yes, I understand.".

The fourth elder brother laughed softly, seeing Wu Ning's lock of hair was brought down by Zhuhua just now, hanging down on his cheek, with a different expression, he bowed his head and kissed her forehead lovingly, before letting go.

Ten days later.

The thirteenth elder brother's birthday party was held in front of the fourth elder brother's mansion, and the princes also came to celebrate the thirteenth elder brother's birthday. On this day, the streets in front of the fourth elder brother's mansion were full of cars and horses, that kind of lively scene , of course there is no need to mention it again.

In the garden, as usual, it was the beginning of watching a play. Wu Ning became acquainted a lot with the experience of the Mid-Autumn Festival last time, so he changed into a light autumn green flag outfit, and matched it with the one that the fourth elder brother personally selected for himself last time. That chrysanthemum bead flower, with a thin layer of powder applied on the face, and looking at herself in the mirror, she also felt beaming.

She sat with Song Gege and Li Gege and waited for the banquet to begin.Song Gege's waist became more pronounced, and he was wearing a silver-red sprinkled gold flag dress, with a cloak of Qiushuilan stone mouse on the outside, and his eyebrows were lightly swept, but the lip color was deliberately aggravated, showing a kind of exquisite shrewdness; Li Gege She was wearing a begonia red wide-brimmed flag dress, and because of the cold weather, she added a concubine-colored hang silk brocade-bound vest, and a peach-colored calyx-shaped bead flower on her head, which was delicate and dazzling.

The garden was originally carefully arranged by Fujin, with painted buildings flying clouds, pearl curtains rolling rain, and fake flower mountains piled up in the West Flower Hall, leading to the surrounding pond in the garden, with gurgling water.When people walk around, they only feel that there are mistakes in light and shade, and there is no mess, which is truly elegant.

However, the weather is already in the early winter, and the northwest wind was blowing vigorously that day. The crowd passed by lively at first, but they didn't realize that after sitting for a long time, they all shouted and shouted that it was cold. After a while, Fujin directed Chen Denuo and others to help After transferring the banquet to the house, there were only a few scattered people left in the garden.There are those who lean on the trees to talk and talk freely, and some who stretch their heads to enjoy the scenery.

Wu Ning looked at it in the room and felt a little strange: thinking that there is no snow scene to enjoy this day, and all the flowers have withered, so what is there to see in the garden?

Candles as thick as a child's arm were lit in the house, and they were all lit on several gilt-bottomed candle holders with cloisonné enamel ice plum pattern and cloud pattern on the boss. The lantern glowed red, and it felt warm when I looked at it.

Shuo Xue and other respectable court ladies took turns pouring wine. After a dozen or so dishes were served, the atmosphere at the table of the princes was already in high spirits, and they clamored for a drink order. Elder Brother Shi and the others teased San Ah, who always loves to drop book bags. When the elder brother ordered, the third elder brother thought for a while and smiled: "It's better to say something that suits the situation!" He turned his head slightly as he spoke, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Fifth elder brother smiled and said: "Third brother is very knowledgeable, I'm afraid that if he is too elegant, our brothers will die." Everyone laughed when he said it.

Elder Brother Ten was already a bit drunk, and when he heard the word "death", he stood up and squinted with drunken eyes: "You can't say this word today! You should be punished! You should be punished! You should be fined for a glass of wine!".

The fifth elder brother is very good at drinking, and he never refuses anyone who comes. He poured a glass of wine when he raised his head, then turned his head and said, "I'm toasting the birthday star!".

The thirteenth elder brother sat next to the fourth elder brother, stood up and raised his glass with a smile and said, "Thank you fifth brother!" Wu Ning saw that although he spoke and smiled freely, he was still more intimate with the fourth elder brother.

After a while, Chen Denuo ran over quickly, leaned over and whispered something in Fujin's ear, Fujin nodded imperceptibly, and then saw Chen Denuo commanding a few eunuchs to move a row of screens, open the common Eight leaves, each of which is connected by cotton cloth, can be retracted and folded freely. The center of the screen is a landscape painting on silk, and the front part of the lower skirt is square brocade ground inlaid with black lacquer.

This screen vaguely separates the people at the table from the outside.Wu Ning's heart moved, seeing that no one was paying attention to him at the table, he looked out of the window, and sure enough, he faintly saw a few blue-clothed luthiers holding pipas, flutes and drum boards, waiting in the courtyard neatly.
