Chapter 50 The Sound of the Piano
Time always passes quickly. Yu Xi, Zi Yaoling and Grandma Li chatted all afternoon.
The sun has turned west. Grandma Li originally wanted to leave them for dinner, but Yuxi refused to say that she had been disturbed for a long time. She would better let her mother-in-law rest early and said that she would come here to see her mother-in-law when she was free. Grandma Li gave up and sent the two to the intersection before returning to her home.
"My mother-in-law is so kind. I really hope Grandpa Li can come back." Looking at the yellow sky in the distance, Yu Xi said softly.
"My mother-in-law's life is also very good now. Don't disturb yourself."
"Well, by the way, where are we going later? I don't want to have dinner. I ate well at my mother-in-law's house just now, and now I want to have fun.
"Let's go to Xizi Lake. Didn't my mother-in-law say that there would be a marriage party tonight, and a lantern party. You should like it."
Yu Xi jumped, "Yevil, what on earth will the marriage do? Hearing the name made me get goosebumps all over.
"Oh... I'm not sure either." How could he care about such a thing?
"Son, girl, this marriage is one of the biggest events in our Fancheng. You are from other places, aren't you? A vendor on the roadside suddenly interrupted.
"Well, we just came from other places, brother, what will this marriage be?" Yuxi stopped.
The hawker danced with eyebrows, "Miss, this marriage meeting is also called Xiao Qixi. On this day, the women in the city who have not come out of the cabinet have gone back to walk. At that time, those unmarried brothers will also try their luck. Yes, love at first sight, then the marriage will be settled.
"Isn't this the same as Qixi Festival? Why did you make such a small Qixi Festival again?" Isn't it just a big blind date?
The hawker shook his head and retorted, "Miss, I only know one thing, but I don't know the other. At this marriage meeting, you can not only find a marriage, but also try to see if your love is your marriage!"
Ziyao Ling raised her eyebrows and said no. Yuxi was interested, "Brother, how do you say this?"
"There is a marriage bridge on Xizi Lake. There are several auxiliary bridges on both sides of the marriage bridge. Several bridges lead to different places, and only two bridges lead to marriage. At that time, the two lovers will have to walk from different auxiliary bridges. In the end, if the two can meet on the marriage bridge, it will be a God-given marriage.
"Oh, that's what's said." Yuxi couldn't help laughing. The ancients really believed this.
"Not only that, there is also a lantern party after the marriage meeting. On this lantern, you can write the name of your sweetheart. If the sweetheart on the other side picks it, hehe, the marriage is not fixed! You can't even rely on it. The hawker looked meaningfully at the hands held by the two.
"Thank you, brother, I'm going to have a look at the marriage." Yuxi looked at the things on the vendor's stall and smiled happily.
"Miss, take your time."
Zi Yaoling saw the smile in Yu Xi's eyes, "Let's go and join in the fun. Xiluo and Yuan will also go today.
"Oh? Really? Will you be lucky to meet them again?
"Really." The girl came out without saying hello early in the morning. The three people were very concerned and came to join in the fun.
While talking, he walked to the door of the first floor in the world. Yu Xi's eyes turned around and patted Zi Yaoling on the shoulder. "Evil, I remember something I haven't done. You go ahead and wait for me. I'll come as soon as I go." As if afraid that he would repent, Yu Xi said again, "Don't come. I'll be alone. I'll be back in half a quarter of an hour. Bye."
After saying that, he ran away like the wind.
Zi Yaoling can't help stroking her forehead. How can she say that wind is rain? She let the scorpion follow, and she really didn't know what the danger was.
Yu Xi ran to the original hawker in a hurry, panting.
"Hey? Why did Miss come back again? What did you drop?"
"No, brother, how do you sell this hairband?" Yuxi waved her hand and picked up a dark purple hairband embroidered with gold edges and asked.
The hawker's eyes lit up, "Miss has a good vision. This hairband is my treasure, only 50 taels of silver. Although this is just a hairband, this embroider is the first embroidery shop in the world. Once, I helped the embroider a little, and she gave me this hairband, which was absolutely authentic. Fifty taels of silver was not expensive at all.
Yuxi has no concept of ancient money. In this Sunday dynasty, 30 taels is generally enough for a family of three to spend a year.
However, this hawker does not ask for a sky-high price. Everyone knows that the things of the first embroidery workshop in the world are for royal use, and the cloud yarn is the things of the first embroidery workshop. No wonder the price is so high.
Yuxi only had a silver ticket of 100 taels, which she took from the marquis, and she was not distressed. "Let's take this hairband." The hawker took a hundred taels of silver notes, "Miss, I can't find this small business. Why don't you wait here and I'll take it to the bank to exchange it?
The hawker is happy. Ordinary people don't know how to buy this hairband, so he has been putting it here. Who would have sold it today? This is a lot of money!
Yu Xi had to wait and waved his hand quickly. "No need to look for it. The rest of the money is the reward you just gave me at that time. I have something urgent. Let's go first."
When the hawker heard that this was a good thing about the pie falling from the sky. Just as he wanted to give her a few more accessories, he only saw the back of Yuxi running away.
Running to the door of the first building in the world, Yuxi took a breath and waited until her heartbeat calmed down before entering the door.
The evil is dazzling wherever he goes. With just a glance, Yu Xi saw the man sitting by the bed drinking tea. Without hesitation, he walked over and naturally gave himself a cup of tea and drank it in a hurry.
Ziyao Ling turned the teacup and looked at Yu Xi's flushed face. She thought about where she was going and asked her later.
"Drink slowly, don't choking."
"Evil, let's go and play in Xizi Lake."
"Don't worry, eat something before you leave." This girl, the truth is to go to play without dinner. She really has her. She has just recovered from a serious illness. Why doesn't she know how to cherish her body?
Yu Xi pouted and didn't feel that this action was done by her closest person. "I don't want to eat it, I can't eat it."
Zi Yaoling looked at her child-like movements and smiled spoiledly, "It's not good for your health to eat more or less. Otherwise, don't blame me for not taking you there."
"Why do you always threaten me with this?" The low voice is very reluctant.
At this time, the children came to eat a few snacks, including Yu Xi's favorite lotus leaf crisp, and the others were exquisite and full snacks.
The two took a short break on the first floor of the world and then went to the most famous West Lake in Fancheng.
A vacant land was specially opened by Xizi Lake, with many lanterns hanging in the air, and the hawkers' hawking was endless. The children also joined in the fun, waved fireworks sticks in their hands, and had a good time.
There are really many people who come and go. The laughter of warbler and swallows is endless, and there are also talented women who recite poems and guess lantern riddles. The atmosphere of wind and snow is self-evident.
Yuxi walked beside Zi Yaoling and looked at the people around her with a smile, mostly with happy smiles on her face.
"Where are we going to play?" Walking around may not be the reason why he was in it. Yuxi felt a little boring.
"Follow me." After saying that, Zi Yaoling took Yuxi's hand again and walked to the lake.
When I arrived at the embankment, I found that there were many paintings floating on the lake, and the sound of silk bamboo faintly came.
Yuxi was wondering what they were going to do, but she saw a painting boat from afar and put it on the deck.
Zi Yaoling walked up and said, "Xiao Yu, come up."
Although it was strange, Yuxi still stepped on the deck.
She has never been on this kind of painting, and the interior seems to be no different from the decoration in ancient costume TV series, but there is a little more ancient charm.
The painting is divided into two rooms, in which there is a table with wine and vegetables on it, and a table with four treasures of the study. Outside, there is a Guzheng with 21 strings and red sandalwood as the base. Yuxi hasn't touched the piano since she came to ancient times. The last time she saw Yunji playing the guqin, she felt ready to move.
Slowly walking to Guzheng, Yuxi stretched out his hand and closed his eyes to feel the void. Seeing this without disturbing, Ziyao Ling casually walked into the inner room and sat at the table, looking at Yu Xi. It seems that he guessed right. Xiaoyu really can play the piano.
Opening his eyes, Yu Xi's fingers delicately felt the pattern on the surface of the piano, and casually dialed a few tones out. With a tinkling sound, the sound was like a clear spring, and he couldn't help exclaiming, "Good piano."
As if she had found an old friend for many years, Yu Xi raised the corners of her mouth and her eyes were full of tenderness. "Demon, play the piano for you."
Zi Yaoling looked at the joy in Yuxi's eyes, and there was also a faint smile in her eyes, "Okay."
Yuxi sat upright, gently pressed the strings with her fingers, and wiped the strings, bringing out a clear sound. Just like catching up with old friends, the monotonous notes jump at their fingertips, but bring out infinite reverie.
Shaking fingers, plucking the strings, the tone is raised, and a series of notes flowed at the tip of the heart with different emotions.
Yuxi leaned her head slightly, closed her eyes, and felt the life of every note and the emotion of every tone. The long hair was scattered behind him, the blue silk clothes brought out a watery charming color, the wrists were as soft as bones, and the blue bracelet with a slightly warm arc, stirring the heartstrings.
The tall building is more than 100 feet, straight to the level of the river. The bright moon shines on people's bitterness, opening the curtain and playing the jade kite. The mountain is high and the apes are in a hurry, and the sky is quiet and the wild geese are singing. The curvature is still not over, and Dongfengxia has been there for half his life.
The music on Xizi Lake seems to have stopped, leaving only the unusual tone of Yuxi's boat.
Gently twist slowly, and cut the noise. Suddenly, the sound of the piano accelerated again. As soon as the ending sound ended, the aftertow sound curled like silk.
Put your fingers gently on the strings and feel the sound of the piano that has not dissipated for a long time. Yuxi's face blooms with aura that Zi Yaoling has never seen before, which is so dazzling and cannot be ignored.
Withdrawing his mind, Ziyao Ling asked, "What's the name of this song? I've never heard it."
"Spring River Flower Moon Night. The spring river is connected with the sea, and the moon on the sea is full of tides.
"Good song, good piano. I really don't know that Xiaoyu's piano skills have become like a transformation. Zi Yaoling clapped her hands, and her eyes were full of admiration. Yuxi's piano is unmatched by Yunji and Jinse. Her piano has her own feelings. The piano is far from a musical instrument in her hands, but a friend, a friend who can talk about all her heart, and a friend who will shine under her.
