[Qing Chuan] Qing Chuan Wu Shi

"Gege, spare me! The servant is wrong! The servant is wrong!", the maid suddenly fell to her knees, crying loudly while clutching her blistered cheek, and scattered the broken porcelain beside her.

Geng Shi was short of breath, stood up and said: "What are you doing like this? Get up quickly! People will see me as if I..." As soon as the words fell, the door curtain was raised, and a thin figure came in, dressed in lilac color with goose yellow The side flag is the Song family.She was startled when she entered the room, and hurriedly said: "Sister Geng, what are you doing?" When the maid saw someone coming, she cried louder and kowtowed: "Ge Ge, spare me! Ge Ge, spare me!".

Gritting his teeth, Geng stepped forward to help her up, twisted her elbow fiercely, and whispered in his ear: "Shut up!", the maid immediately stopped crying, and only took a pair of The red eyes looked at Song Shi.

Geng stepped forward and forced a smile and said: "I just said a few words to her casually, but I made my sister laugh." Then he quickly opened the chair beside the table and said: "Sister Song, sit here!".She has been in the mansion for more than a month, and besides Fujin, the only master she has seen is the Song family.Mrs. Song lives very close to her, and they usually take care of her, so Mrs. Geng has a three-point intimacy with Mrs. Song.

Mrs. Song didn't refuse, just took her hand and slowly sat down at the table, stretched out her hand to pick up the melon seeds on the table, licked lightly, looked around, and said with a smile: "My sister is still used to living here. ?”, Geng didn’t understand what she meant, seeing her smiling, he thought about it and said: “I’m used to it! Thank you sister for taking care of me.” As he spoke, he also sat down at the table.

Mrs. Song drooped her eyelids slightly, covered her mouth, spit out the melon seeds, and said, "I don't have the blessing to take care of my younger sister!", Mrs. Geng just sat down, and immediately stood up again after hearing this, and said, "Sister Song is better than me!" The concubine entered the mansion much earlier, and the concubine is new here and doesn’t understand anything, so please ask Elder Sister Song to give you some advice!”.

Mrs. Song smiled slightly, raised her eyebrows and said, "I don't dare to take the word 'suggestion'. My younger sister is young and beautiful, and she is talented, blue-hearted, and exquisite in ice and snow. She will surely have good luck in the future." After hearing this, Geng's face was still full of humility, but there was a hint of pride in his expression, and his breathing became a little short.After being silent for a while, she immediately stood up, walked in front of Mrs. Song, and suddenly knelt down and said, "Please help me, sister! Since the first time I met my sister, I felt that my sister was familiar and kind, please help me!".

Mrs. Song didn't expect her to kneel when she said kneeling, said "ah", turned sideways to avoid, and said: "Little sister, get up first, I can't afford such a big gift." She said to the maidservant: "Not coming yet Help up your master!", the maidservant's nose was red, she was still sobbing and came forward to help her up, Geng took advantage of the situation and grabbed Song's arm, looking up at her eagerly, Song pursed her lips and said: "Get up first." Then he stomped his feet lightly and said, "If you don't get up, what can I say!".

Geng Shi got up and sat down at the table with Song Shi. At this time, it was already dark outside, and the room was lit with candles, making it even more desolate.Mrs. Song sat up straight, withdrew her smile and said, "Since my sister thinks highly of me so much, I will take care of her. My sister came into the house late, and I don't know our master's temperament..." Speaking of which, Xiang Geng Shi glanced at her, and saw that her eyes were wide open, her neck leaned forward slightly, her eyes were staring at herself without blinking, as if what she said were all Buddha's words, golden and jade good words.

Song sneered in her heart, and continued: "My sister is young and motivated, and she has a high spirit, but she needs to be "steady" in everything. If you want to stand out, you must first be safe.".

"Security?" Geng asked subconsciously.

Mrs. Song stared at the dancing candles in the lampshade, and said indifferently: "Master Belle doesn't like those who like to stand out, even if my sister has all kinds of talents, she will show her face in such a way, and take the initiative to send it to the master..." Speaking of which, Seeing Geng's face is already very ugly.

Mrs. Song let out a soft cry, covered her mouth with her hand, and said softly: "My sister is clumsy, don't take it to heart."

Geng Shi sat blankly on the chair, thinking that during the day Fujin let him play the flute by the side of the road that must pass through Si Age's garden, for a moment he felt suspicious and resentful, his eyes rolled and his chest heaved uncontrollably.

……

That night.Song Shi stood in the yard.

The night was as dark as water, and the personal maid, Ru Qiu, stood behind her, anxiously holding up a lantern to illuminate her.

When the master returned from Miss Geng's place, he began to lose himself in a silent trance. He didn't eat dinner, but just stood here watching the sky.

In autumn, I couldn't help but look up at the sky, the night was deep.

What is there to see in this sky?

The lantern made Song's face turn yellow.She looked up at the night sky, the walls of the courtyard were surrounded by clouds, dense in the dark night, after looking for a long time, she had a faint illusion, as if the courtyard wall was like a beast that wanted to eat people, pressing down forcefully from all directions, closing it, and finally closing it She was buried in this small courtyard and will live on forever.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter every day, and finally it is midsummer.

The summer wind is clear and bright, and the fragrance of lotus leaves in the garden floats into Wuning's yard.

On the desk in the dormitory, there are two small bowl lotuses floating in the jade basin, with translucent drops of water rolling on the tips of the petals. Dispersed, graceful and charming.Wu Ning also asked people to put two tiny fish in the jade basin, the fish were fed so smartly, when they saw someone pointing at the surface of the water, they immediately raised their heads and opened their mouths to compete for food, very cute.

Wu Ning teased them with his fingers, and when he was watching "Fish Playing with Lotus Leaves" happily, Zhuqi suddenly opened the curtain, entered the room, and stammered behind his back: "Master...".

Wu Ning didn't turn his head back and said: "What's the matter?" Zhuqi lowered his head, but still said: "Just now Eunuch Su said, Lord Belle... today..." Wu Ning teased Xiao Yu'er absent-mindedly, saying : "What happened to Lord Belle? Tell me."

"Master Baylor is going to Miss Geng's place at night..." Zhuqi's voice sounded like a mosquito humming.

After finishing his meal, Wu Ning entered the room, with a small honey-colored lily crochet pillow behind his waist, closed his eyes and leaned on the kang table, gradually getting tired, I don't know how long it has passed, he was in the middle of sleep, but he felt There was something lightly touching between the eyebrows, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the fourth elder brother was already sitting on the side of the bed, taking a brush with a cinnamon brush and lightly drawing on the cinnabar between his eyebrows.

Seeing that she woke up, the fourth elder brother smiled slightly and said, "It's late, I thought you had already fallen asleep.".

Wu Ning rubbed his eyes, confirmed that it was the fourth elder brother sitting in front of him, hugged the fourth elder brother in surprise and said: "Is the master here tonight?" Then he let go of his hand and said: "Isn't it Geng...?".

The fourth elder brother saw that her eyes were full of undisguised joy just now, and now she is full of sorrow, with all emotions and anger, shook her head slightly, gently touched the earrings under her ears and said: "How long has she been in the mansion?" , Master had a meal there tonight, it was considered as a way of saving face, don't ask the servants to despise her.".

Wu Ning heard this, and unconsciously let out a long breath. Seeing the change in her expression, the fourth elder brother patted her on the head lightly and said: "Don't think about it, I just saw that you are very tired, go to sleep." Ning lowered his waist, hugged her up and walked towards the bed, and patted her belly very carefully.

Wu Ning grabbed the fourth elder brother's sleeve, and suddenly whispered worriedly: "Did she play the piano for you?" The fourth elder brother was stunned, and suddenly buried his head on top of Wu Ning's head and laughed dumbly, saying solemnly: " It’s played. It’s really good, I’ll play it for you if I ask her to come tomorrow.” Wu Ning heard this, turned her head slightly and turned her head.

The fourth elder brother hugged her back into his arms, gently stroked her back, and said with a smile: "Master went in with his front feet, and came out after eating a few mouthfuls of food. How can I have time to listen to her playing the piano?", speaking softly He slapped Wu Ning behind his back and said: "Are you a master of Zhangtai?" Wu Ning raised his head with a smile and said: "This is not kind of what I said - my master is a master of Zhangtai, what is Geng Gege? ".

The fourth elder brother pinched her face, changed the subject and said: "I just slept so deeply, and now I see you coming, do you have the energy to argue?" Wu Ning took advantage of the situation and took the fourth elder brother's hand and said: "Master, it was my fault Already, measure the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.".The fourth elder brother suddenly became interested, let go of Wu Ning, got up and turned around in the room: "Haven't you heard me play the piano?".

Wu Ning immediately sat up jokingly and said, "The moon is white and the wind is clear tonight. It's really a good day. It's a good thing to hear the gentleman's elegant voice!".The fourth elder brother heard her nondescript words, shook his head and glanced at her, and sent someone to the study room in the front yard to bring over his usual Guqin, along with the piano table and incense.

The fourth elder brother washed his hands and burned incense, but he didn't use the piano table.Sitting cross-legged in front of the couch, with the guqin on his lap, it is quite ancient.Wu Ning sat quietly and listened to the clank of the fourth elder brother, and gradually settled into a tune.

The flowers and branches outside the window trembled slightly, and the shadow of the moon moved slightly, reflected in the window.Under the lotus in the jade basin bowl, the koi carp double leaps.The dark incense in the incense burner is burned out, and the lyre is slowly changed in the palace. At the beginning, it is a gentle and gentle gentleman, just like a crane in autumn, fluttering its wings and flying; it is also like the sound of the wind in the pines on the ancient road, and the sound of the forest.Afterwards, there was a clang-clang sound, murderous intent arose secretly, and the sound of the piano was thrown like gold and stones, as if a person was very resolutely telling what was in his heart, as if thousands of troops and horses were rushing forward. It seems that the two armies are facing each other, with dense barriers.

Wu Ning could only hear his heart agitated, and suddenly there was a "pop", a string was broken, the music stopped abruptly, and there was silence all around.

Wu Ning came forward and silently supported the fourth elder brother's shoulders, and the fourth elder brother held her hand back, his chest heaving unceasingly, suddenly got up, turned the qin over, and said: "I will put this qin with broken plum blossoms and broken leaves in your room." If you want to play it in the future, you can use it at any time." Wu Ning agreed, holding the qin on his lap, turned it over, saw two characters engraved on the belly of the qin, and could barely make out one of the characters was "" "Ming", but the other character can't be recognized.

She wiped the strings carefully with a soft cloth before she put the guqin into the piano bag and put it into the red lacquer case.The fourth elder brother quietly watched her series of movements without making a sound. In the summer night wind, he could only smell the fragrance of lotus entering the window, filling the room with fragrance.

Deep night.

Mrs. Song had her hair untied by her personal maid, Tao Zhi, and she just lay down on the bed, when she heard the sound of cups, plates and dishes being smashed in Geng's room next door, and another maidservant cried for mercy.Tao Zhi couldn't help frowning, and said to Song: "Master, this is too arrogant, you have been beating and scolding for two out of three days, even though he is a servant, at least he was called by the mansion. Let her do it like this?" Song smiled slightly, but said nothing.

Seeing this, Tao Zhi leaned forward again and said in a low voice: "I heard that Master Baylor went to her place for dinner today, and he just drank a glass of wine and left with a few chopsticks. I'm afraid it's someone My heart is in a panic!"

Mrs. Song coldly picked out some hand balm and rubbed it on the back of her hands, and said, "No matter what she does, she is still a master! When is it your turn to arrange the affairs of the master? Forget how I usually teach Yours? Plug your ears and sew your mouth shut!".

Tao Zhi squatted down aggrievedly and said: "Yes." As soon as the words fell, only the door over there suddenly opened with a "bang", the crying became louder, Tao Zhi couldn't help but went to the door to look, but Seeing that it was Geng's servant girl who was forced to stand in the yard in autumn.That autumn was full of tears, and his eyes were swollen from crying. He only grasped the sides of the skirt with his hands and kept rubbing them.

Taozhi went back to the house lightly, and when she talked to Song Shi, she couldn't help showing sympathy, Song raised her eyebrows and said: "In summer, standing overnight just feeds the mosquitoes! It's not winter in the twelfth lunar month, it won't freeze to death." She!", she folded her hands, seeing the moisturizing balm seeping into her skin little by little, she said with a smile: "Fu Jin has good eyesight, so I like such a talent!"
