sinking into sand

Xie Jingrong's car stopped at the door for a while, then left.

Yu Sha tilted his head slightly, and out of the corner of his eye, he recognized the decoration of the car and knew who the owner was.

This banquet can be regarded as a formal banquet, Xie Jingrong went back so early, I don't know what happened.

Yu Sha and Xie Jingrong had studied together, so they knew his temper very well.If he left in such a disregard of etiquette, there must be another disturbance at the banquet.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help becoming anxious again, and his steps slowed down.Thinking about Guan Lan's previous actions, I don't know if he was involved again.

Mu Yao was talking to the guide, seeing that he was lagging behind, she reminded him.

"Why are you stunned? Have you never seen the style of Peony Academy?"

This is of course not the truth, it's just that Yu Sha is a servant at this time, so it's hard to tell the truth.

The woman who greeted him was smiling, and she still had the time to speak for such a young man as he said, "The Peony Academy is indeed different from other places, so why not take a look at it? If it weren't for the fact that there are distinguished guests in the front yard today. It’s good to accompany this little brother to stroll in the yard.”

Mu Yao patted her hand lightly: "It's just nonsense, there's no need to do this."

The woman smiled and said, "How many years have it been since I saw you come back once, and you brought someone with you, so I must not take good care of you."

This shows that the eyesight has gone too far, and things have been misunderstood.Skirt) The main number is 'three, two' Lingyi (qi, Lingqi) Yisi, six

Mu Yao didn't explain, but let her misunderstand, and said again: "Who are you entertaining for today's event? I'll come here on the main road. It's not a festival day, it's unusually lively."

"Hey, it's a distinguished guest from the north. Usually those young masters are here too. It's more labor-intensive than usual." The woman replied, and led Mu Yao and Yu Sha to sit in a side hall for the little maidservants to wait on. Come up for tea, food and snacks, and talk about the busy things ahead, so I have to go to support them first.

"As usual, today is Lu Hua's class. I'll ask Si En to come and accompany you?" the woman said.

"No need." Mu Yao waved her hand, "Maybe she and I might get tired of seeing each other, so don't worry about seeing her, just go get busy."

The woman said a few more words with her, and went on as she said.

Yu Sha looked at her back, thoughtful.

Mu Yao could tell what he was thinking at a glance, and said, "I don't know you?"

Yu Sha hummed, and replied, "The face is tight."

"It used to be a girl from outside the Chess Academy." Mu Yao said, "The one named Qing Ge is not very eye-catching. She is not good at learning poetry, but she is good at communication. She has been promoted to be a steward in the past two years."

After hearing this, Yu Sha was silent for a moment, then nodded: "No wonder I'm unfamiliar."

Yu Sha and Mu Yao said a few words, and another maidservant came to report outside, saying that Miss Qing Ge had brought a message and asked the small kitchen to prepare wine and dishes, and asked Mr. Mu to use it before leaving.If you are willing to wait, when the front yard is gone, let Miss Lu Hua come over.

Yu Sha stepped back after hearing what the little maid said, and said to Mu Yao, "I know how to behave."

Mu Yao remained calm, and took a sip of tea slowly. The Longjing tea she went to in early spring still had a pleasant fragrance after two months, and there was still a hint of sweetness.

She said: "She sees that there are people from Prince Li's mansion that I'm dealing with, so she gave me a three-point face."

Yu Sha paused when he heard that, and asked, "Mr. Mu doesn't like her."

"Not at all." Mu Yao replied, "It's just that I feel helpless."

After drinking tea, she stood up and pushed open the door, called a little maid over, and said: "I miss the old people of the Qin Academy, are you meeting Rongge today? I'll be leaving in a while, don't bother you, Miss Lu, come again."

The little maid was bought into Peony Academy later, and she didn't know who Mu Yao was.But from Qing Ge's attitude, he also knew that this person was important, so he didn't dare to neglect, so he immediately went to ask.

After a while, he came back with Qing Ge's words, saying that other than the main hall and the surrounding gardens, it is not convenient.The rest of the pavilion masters follow Mr. Mu's wishes.It's just that the Peony Academy has been repaired in many places in the past two years, and there are also many reconstructions.Afraid that Mr. Mu will lose his way, please take the maidservant along with him.

"It's troublesome." Mu Yao said to the maid who came to lead the way.

Mu Yao and Yu Sha followed the guides around some covered bridges and courtyards, around the corner, and before they saw the main entrance of Rong Pavilion, they heard the sound of the pipa.

Desolate, but also tactful.

Sorrow is true, and lingering is also true.

Mu Yao stopped and listened for a while, and suddenly said with emotion: "This is a new song."

The maid who led the way said: "Yes, the girls have made a new score. A few days ago, some scholars filled in the lyrics. I asked Miss Si En to look at it and chose the best one. In the past few days, the little girls have also learned it." gone."

Mu Yao was silent for a while, then smiled as if she sighed: "She chose it, no wonder."

Fu added: "I'm just learning music, we don't want to disturb you, you lead us to the second floor through the side door, and find a quiet seat."

The servant girl accepted Qing Ge's order very appropriately, and she complied upon hearing it.

A group of three people quietly entered the Jianrong Pavilion through the side door and went up to the second floor without disturbing anyone.

Jianrong Pavilion was originally a place for the Qinyuan to entertain guests, with three floors.The first floor is spacious and brightly lit at the moment. A dozen girls, young or old, moved several chairs and sat together, learning to play music.

Mu Yao and Yu Sha sat down on the second floor, and the maid wanted to come over with an oil lamp, but Mu Yao stopped her again.

"There was a sudden light on the second floor, which disturbed them." She said, "Go first."

The maid was still a little hesitant, but Mu Yao was very persistent, thinking that after all there were no outsiders here today, only some girls who were learning the piano, so it was okay, so she followed her advice and withdrew.

Mu Yao hid in the darkness, looked down with Yu Sha, and it was a young girl's turn to play music.

"Thank you for your pity, see the flowers, and the willows are wrapped around the silk strings." Mu Yao read a sentence, showing a slightly mocking smile: "This is how old girls can sing."

Yu Sha should have waited for an opportunity to act after the supporting maid left, but stayed behind after listening to Mu Yao's words.

He didn't speak, just sat quietly opposite Mu Yao, watching her leaning on the back of the chair and looking at the scene downstairs.

The sound of the pipa is clear, and the fingers are like jade beads falling on the silver plate.A series of notes slipped out of the little girl's hand, it sounded a bit playful, but the song she played was a sad one, a bit funny.

Mu Yao smiled: "You little yellow-haired girl, who can't read all the words, wants to talk about the romance between these men and women. I really don't know what to say."

Yu Sha could hear the deep meaning in her words, and was speechless for a while.

Mu Yao said again: "Did you see the courtyard wall to the north when we came in?"

"That day, those dubious mud legs broke in from there. With swords and torches, the wall was burnt black. It's really strange that they can come back white after a brush."

Yu Sha bit her lower lip, and after a while she whispered almost silently, I'm sorry.

Although the voice was small, Mu Yao heard it.

"What are you sorry for?" Mu Yao said, "The general trend is, what have you done?"

After finishing speaking, she looked downstairs, and said slowly: "Those gentlemen talk about the general trend of the world all day long, they are soldiers, and they are power. All of them are far-sighted, I don't know if they are surnamed Li or Xie. I don't know." I feel that the general trend of the world, just look at these displaced women and children."

"In troubled times, they are two-legged sheep. In prosperous times, they are jade porcelain vases, which are objects, not human beings. Even if they taste the life of being human for a short time, it will be nothing more than a dream in the end."

"So." She looked at Yu Sha and said, "You don't have to blame yourself. People may beat the sky and win the land, but they can't reverse the general trend of the world. It's easy to take care of yourself, but it's difficult to help the world. It's been like this since ancient times, so why be so demanding? .”

Yu Sha's face was snow-white, as if his strength had been drained by these words, but he held his breath again and refused to let go.

"Mr. Mu is willing to help me, is it because of these words?"

Mu Yao replied: "It's just a matter of feeling."

Yu Sha looked at her, but couldn't say a word after all.

He slowly got up from his seat, took one last look at Mu Yao, and went deeper into the darkness without looking back.

Mu Yao didn't pay attention to his whereabouts any more, only watched the movement on the first floor, and followed the libretto lightly.

"I hope you will return early, and I blame you for your late return."

"This lingering lovesickness is like Mu Wanchun, so broken that the mirror is full of red and broken cores, and the dream is half a lifetime."

"I just realized that the flowers and the wind are still there in this world, and the spring will never come again."

"There is only a ray of lonely soul guarding the cold night, lovesickness melts the sea of ​​bitterness."

"Why bother?"
