Chapter 37: Looking for, lonely and miserable 3
Han Ruxu, who was frightened, didn't dare to approach Yuezhai for many days, and he didn't feel guilty. He just fainted inexplicably at the thought of that day, and he was sincerely afraid of the mysterious woman in red.
Before he met Wei Tanyi, he was born and died in dealing with people. After meeting each other, he escaped from death several times when dealing with ghosts, but they were just afraid. Nothing could make him escape on the spot. The ruthless piano music and singing of the woman in red echoed in his ears from time to time, like a bone-attached maggot that made him angry but helpless.
After the world, he was rushing to Dali Temple when he was suddenly strangled by the sound of "Lord Han, please stay" behind him.
Song Jing came to him with a spring breeze on his face and greeted him very kindly: "Lord Han has always been distracted recently, but there have been a lot of official duties recently? Pay attention to your health."
"Your Highness Lao cares, everything is fine." Although I really want to complain, but... forget it.
"Oh?" Song Jing had an insight, "Since everything is fine, why did Lord Han have a depressed face? Ah... Is it that Lord Han is distressed about something?"
Han Ruqi twitched the corners of his mouth and buried his head deeply to prevent him from seeing the strangeness: "There is no such thing..."
Song Jing didn't seem to hear it and touched his jaw: "Lord Han didn't say anything, so let Xiao Wang guess. Well, is it for a girl?
"..." I really want to answer that he is not what he thought at all, but it's not wrong to say so, "Your Highness is wise."
Song Jing laughed proudly. It seemed that he was in a very good mood. Han Ruqi's heart thumped - it's over. Shouldn't the prince plan his lifelong event?
Sure enough, it sounds: "Why is it so difficult? Which daughter does Lord Han like? As long as she is a good girl, Xiao Wang will match for you."
Han Ruqi is powerless: "Thank you for your goodness. I'm just worried about my mother's health, not what Your Highness thinks." Although I know it's useless to say it.
"Lord Han's filial piety can be shown, and he will definitely live a long and healthy life." Song Jing didn't mind at all. "Lord Han has been following his father to Beijing for some years. Is it possible that the daughter of the landlords and merchants of officials in the capital can't see it? Why have you never heard Lord Han mention anyone?"
"Your Highness, the emperor has no imperial edict, and I dare not think of it." Carrying out the emperor, you should let me go, right?
Song Jing obviously couldn't come up with a bigger hat than his father to cover him, so he looked down the steps: "That's right. Lord Han is deeply trusted by his father and is the backbone of the court. Lord Han's marriage will definitely be considered by his father, and he will definitely marry a lady with both virtue and talent. Xiao Wang is waiting to be happy. It's drunk."
He avoided the crisis without danger, and Han Ruxu had to accompany him to discuss some things that happened in the capital. It was not until Ming Bujing sent someone to find him that Song Jing was released.
"Yes, Lord Han, Tan Yi invited me to the store for tea and chat tonight. Can I invite you?" People have taken more than ten steps away, and Song Jing asked from afar.
Han Ruxu turned around helplessly: "No."
Song Jing narrowed his eyes and said, "If Lord Han has nothing important to do tonight, can you go with Xiao Wang?"
... After going around for a long time, Han Ruxu's face became ugly. After the next dynasty, the outsiders of Zunwei Palace came and went, and they were far away. Song Jing asked, and the officials who passed by him listened to him and remembered it in his ears. If he did not agree, he would brush the face of the prince. He would never be comfortable in the future, but if he agreed, he would brazenly form a party for personal gain. In case anyone comes to Emperor Xuanping's ear. If you go to a book, the consequences are even more difficult to imagine.
"I'm going to ask Lord Ming. If there is nothing serious, I will accompany you." After saying that, Han Ruxu saluted and followed him to find his messenger.
Song Jing was just trying to win him over and tie him up in his own boat, but Han Ruxu is not a fool. The rapidly changing situation in the court is only because he stands on Song Jing's side is that he is the prince, not because of Song Jing. Therefore, if he wants to be loyal to a person who has eliminated his identity, he has to think about it again.
Apart from these, he doesn't want to see the woman in red again.
***
In the dead of night, Liao Naiyun came to the door of Rusu Zhai again.
On that day, he rescued two Kabuki on the street. One of them, who claimed to be surnamed Xia, was from Shannan Prefecture. He went to Beijing with his maidservant to find relatives. Because he used up his entanglement, he had to sell his ugliness, just to get a few full meals so that they could continue to look for their relatives.
Bringing them home was impulsive and was scolded by his parents. However, after he accidentally found a fact a few days ago, the whole family became extremely respectful to the master and servant.
At this time, the people in the whole prime minister's palace fell asleep. The oil lamp of Suzhai was still on, and the sound of Fuqin singing clearly came from the room.
"There is no reason to see each other. If you want to say goodbye, you can play with the strings with your bare hands and look forward to returning to the wild goose. The cave bridge blows the flute at night, and it is hard to sleep. After a long time, it is empty to dye peach blossom.
The sound is touching, and it sounds heart-pounding. I don't know what kind of pain I have experienced to make a song so sad. Liao Naiyun hesitated for a moment and knocked on the door.
Fuzhu, who opened the door, was very surprised to see him: "Young master? It's so late. What can I do for you?
What do you want to say? Say that you just can't help but want to see her?" It's nothing important. I just couldn't sleep and walked around. I came over when I saw the light here. "Liao Naiyun still arched his hand to her with great demeanor. "When I hear the sound of the piano, I think Miss Xia can't sleep before she goes to bed?"
Just as Fuzhu was about to answer, a question came from the room: "Fuzhu, who is outside?"
"It's the young master. He said he couldn't sleep. He came here as he walked."
Soon Xia Rui appeared by the door: "You girl, how can the young master ask him to stand outside the door and talk? It's windy at night. What should I do if I catch a cold?" Fuzhu lowered his head and didn't say anything. Liao Naiyun hurriedly explained, "It's me who was abrupt. I shouldn't have disturbed so late. I really listened to Miss Xia's sad voice, so I couldn't help it... Please don't blame Miss Fuzhu."
Xia Rui shook her head repeatedly: "The young master doesn't have to blame himself. Please come in!" Floating bamboo, go and pour water. Fuzhu said that he turned around and poured water at the table.
When Liao Naiyun stepped into the door, he saw a piano in it. It must have been used by Xia Rui. Recalling the tune, he couldn't help saying, "Is Miss Xia singing? Please continue. I'll sit here for a moment and leave. Xia Rui nodded with a smile, took the teacup served by the floating bamboo and handed it to him. Then she whispered, "I'm ugly", and then returned to the piano.
The previous tune sounded in his ear again. Such a close distance made people cry even more. Liao Naiyun couldn't help frowning, listening to her singing and recalling what happened these days.
Xia Rui was born in the brothel. Her mother was the leading kabuki of the Red Mansion in Shannan Prefecture. She met a young master from the capital at a banquet held by the government. Both of them loved music deeply, so Jinfeng Yulu loved it. Unfortunately, the young master's family had a strict mother, who could not tolerate a daughter-in-law from the brothel. In desperation, the two had to say goodbye. Before leaving, the man promised to persuade his mother to come to welcome her, but there was no news.
