Chapter 436 Eunuch
Wen Ruchun, a native of Shaanxi, is the son of a family. I have loved piano skills since I was a child, studied it day and night, and worked tirelessly. On this day, Wen Ruchun went to Shanxi to do business, passed an ancient temple, tied outside the horse gate, and went in to rest. An old man in the temple, dressed in clothes, sat in the corridor to refresh himself, leaned against the wall with a Yaoqin in front of him.
Wen Ruchun suddenly saw Yaoqin, was overjoyed, and asked, "Is the Taoist priest also good at this?"
The Taoist priest said, "Although he is not proficient, he is also quite understanding and willing to compete with the prince." While talking, he picked up Yaoqin, handed it to Wen, and said, "Please don't hesitate to teach me."
Wen Ruchun took the Yaoqin and stroked it with his hand. It felt smooth and warm as jade. Looking at it, the texture of the Yaoqin is wonderful, which seems to be a rare treasure. I am secretly happy in my heart. Where the joy comes, I immediately play a song with my hand. The Qingyue is abnormal, and I can see the power.
The Taoist priest listened with a smile on his face, and his expression seemed to be slightly disappointed. Wen Ruchun was not convinced. He did his best and played as much as he could. After playing a song, the Taoist priest said lightly, "Your piano skills are also good, but it's not enough to be a poor teacher."
Wen Ruchun was unhappy when he saw him talking. He sneered and said, "Since the Taoist priest is so conceited, he must be a master of the piano. Can you play a song to open your eyes?"
The Taoist priest happily returned to his life, playing with his ten fingers, and the sound of the piano rippled, which was heart-ppointing. At the first bullet, the spring breeze brushed my face, and then hundreds of birds gathered and came. Wen Ruchun was amazed and admired the Taoist piano skills. Under the submission of his heart, he had the idea of worshiping his teacher. He immediately fell to the ground and begged the Taoist priest to teach his experience. The Taoist priest meditated for a while, nodded and agreed. He personally pointed out Wen's piano skills, answered questions, and taught each other.
A few days later, Wen Ruchun's piano skills made great progress. The Taoist priest ordered him to play. At the end of the song, he said, "There is no opponent in the world for such piano skills." After saying that, he disappeared.
Since then, Wen Ruchun has carefully studied the piano. On the one hand, he is talented, and on the other hand, he is diligent and hard. During the ten days, his piano skills have soared, which is rare.
A few months later, Wen Ruchun finished his errands and returned to his hometown. Dozens of miles away from home, the sky is dark, the rainstorm is like a note, and there is no place to stay. Looking around, there was a small village beside the road, rushing forward to stay overnight. In a panic, he couldn't distinguish the door. When he saw a wooden door, he hurried in.
Entering the lobby, no one looked around, and his heart was trembling. Or, a girl came out of the house, seventeen or 18 years old, as beautiful as a fairy. The girl looked up and stared at Wen. At first sight, she was shocked and gave birth to an artificial visit. She had a big accident. In panic, she hurried away.
Wen Ruchun was single and unmarried at that time. Seeing that the girl was beautiful, she had a good impression, and her heart was surging and difficult to restrain. While thinking about it, suddenly hearing the sound of footsteps, an old girl came out and asked, "Who is coming?"
Wen Ruchun reported his name and prayed for accommodation in his words. The old lady said, "It's okay to stay. It's just that there are few beds at home, so I can only sleep on the straw mat. If you don't mind, just stay." Light the candle while talking, take the straw and spread it on the ground. Wen Ruchun glanced at it. The straw was wet and stained by the rain, and he frowned slightly.
The old lady asked him to sit down and gossiped with each other. Wen Ruchun asked, "Mom, what's your last name?"
The old man said, "The surname is Zhao."
Wen Ruchun said, "Who was that girl just now?"
The old woman said, "Her name is Eunuch, and she is my daughter."
Wen Ruchun said, "Ring Yan looks like a fairy. I don't take the liberty to marry her. I don't know what my mother wants?"
The old man frowned and said, "I dare not obey."
Wen Ruchun said urgently, "Why?"
The old man said, "Don't ask too much. Anyway, it's not okay." After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left.
After the old wife left, there was only a person left in the house, accompanied by a lonely lamp. The rain outside the house was pattering, and the sad wind roared. In this situation, I really don't want to sleep.
Wen Ruchun sat upright, put the piano on his legs, and played the conductor's strings to relieve loneliness. The sound of the piano is melodious. Although it is in the wind and rain, it is still sonorous and exciting, and it can be heard on all four walls.
With the rain, Wen Ruchun got up and stood up, packed up the piano, and left at night.
In the county, there is a man surnamed Ge. He resigned and returned to Tian. He loved literati and elegant scholars. Wen Ruchun occasionally went to Gefu and was ordered to play the piano. There were some people eavesdropping inside the curtain. The breeze blew, and the bead curtain rolled up. There was a girl in the curtain, fifteen or sixteen years old, and unparalleled.
The girl is not someone else, but the daughter of Gebelang, a well-known worker, poetry and song, all of which are exquisite, beautiful, far and well-known. At first sight, Wen Ruchun was moved. When she went back, she mentioned this matter to her mother and asked her to propose marriage. The matchmaker went to Gefu to make a match. Master Ge disliked Wen's poor family and was unmoved and refused.
Since he heard the sound of Wen's piano, he has been admiring him. Every time he expects to see him again, but it is contrary to his wishes. Wen Ruchun's proposal is frustrated and frustrated. Since then, he has never come to the door.
On this day, the good worker picked up a letter in the garden and wrote a song "Xi Yu Chun Ci", which said: "Because of hatred, I turn my thoughts, and my feelings are turned upside down every day. Begonia is drunk, and willows hurt spring, which is the same. It is very sad and old, and it is like grass when it is shoveled and survived. Separation is only in the sky, and it will be dawn. Today, the spring mountain is damaged, looking through the autumn water, and the road has been abandoned! Fang Yu is jealous of the dream, and the jade leak is shocked. How can you sleep well if you want to sleep? It is said that the long night is like a year, and it is less than a year: it has been three years after three years, and there is no one who is not old!" The words are sad, and between the pen and ink, it is full of lovesickness.
Liang Gong suddenly saw this word, touched his mind, recited it over and over again, and chanted it again, and sighed with emotion. Now he put the letter in his arms and returned to his boudoir. A few days later, the letter was gone, and the good worker thought, "Maybe it was blown away by the wind." I didn't care.
Coincidentally, Master Ge passed by the door, picked up the letter and opened the reading. He only read a few lines, frowned, and thought, "This girl, a good worker, is really shameless. She actually writes like this. Swinging articles. Oh, girl Huaichun, I really don't know what to do. Thinking of this, she decided to choose a son-in-law for her daughter, so that she would not think nonsense.
The news was released, and there was an endless stream of door-to-door suitors. Young talents compete to recommend themselves. There is one person, surnamed Liu, the son of Uncle Liu in the neighboring county, with beautiful appearance and a prominent family background. Master Ge was very satisfied at first sight. Set up a banquet to entertain Liu. During the banquet, Mr. Liu talked elegantly, which was very favored by Master Ge.
Then the banquet was withdrawn, and Mr. Liu got up and said goodbye. Suddenly, there was a crackling sound. Something fell from his waist and there was a sound on the ground, but it was a woman's embroidered shoes. Master Ge looked unhappy and said coldly, "You are so interested. When you go to the meeting, you actually carry embroidered shoes with you. It's so romantic and tasteful!" The words are cold, and the anger is hard to calm down.
Mr. Liu tried his best to defend himself and shouted that he was wronged. He was full of poetry and books. He was obviously teased by others. However, no matter how he said, Master Ge didn't listen at all. He waved his hand and shouted, "Come on, send the guests." A marriage has been blown away.
Before that, there was a green chrysanthemum in Master Ge's family, which was a peerless alien species. He hid it secretly and refused to pass it on. Good workers like **, and many good seeds are also cultivated in the boudoir.
Coincidentally, Wen Ruchun is also a fellow. The garden is full of **, and the flowers are in full bloom. They are in groups of three or five, which is so cute. It's just that the variety is average, and it lacks rare.
In the early morning of this day, Wen Ruchun pushed the window to enjoy the chrysanthemums. Somehow, the garden was full of changes, and all turned green. The green chrysanthemum blooms, and the fragrance overflows. Looking at it, it's like being in the green sea.
This matter spread quickly, and the neighbors don't know about it. Master Ge was originally a person who loved chrysanthemum. He thought, "Green chrysanthemum is originally a different species. If you don't want to have it in the Wen family, you have to look at it." Visit in person.
When I came to the garden, I saw that the green chrysanthemums were like a forest, and there were countless. Mr. Ge was overjoyed and appreciated them carefully. Walk through the flowers and forget to return. When he was intoxicated, he suddenly tightened his feet and stepped on a letter and picked it up. It was the song "Xi Yu Chun Ci".
Master Ge is full of doubts. "This song "Xi Yu Chun Ci" was obviously written by my daughter. How did she get here? Could it be... The little girl didn't keep her mother's way and secretly had a private meeting with Wen, and the two had an ambiguous relationship? Thinking of this, I was angry and angry. The flowers were not rewarded, so I hurriedly said goodbye.
Returning to his residence, he found his daughter's good worker and scolded him harshly. The good worker was scolded for no reason. He didn't know why. He only cried and said, "My daughter abides by etiquette and has never done anything extraordinary. I always say this word, either my father believes it or not.
Madam advised, "The master is angry. At this point, in order to protect his daughter's reputation, he simply married him to Wen.
Master Ge sighed, "It's the only way to do this. It's just that I'm a dignified man, but my daughter is going to marry a cloth, which wronged her. Now choose an auspicious day and send your daughter to get married.
Wen Ruchun married a good worker and was overjoyed. On the day of marriage, there will be a banquet and guests will be closed until the night. The couple went to bed. Suddenly, the sound of the piano came from the study. The tune was dry. Obviously, they were new to this. It was not much.
The two of them inspected in their clothes and lit the candlelight. The study was empty and silent, and there was no one. But the sound of the piano is lingering in my ears, but how can I explain it?
Wen Ruchun pondered slightly and muttered, "Is it a fox demon?"
Liang Gong said, "The sound of the piano is sad. This is not a fox demon, but a ghost. I have an ancient mirror that can illuminate the three worlds. Whether it's a ghost or a fox, you will know as soon as you take a picture. While talking, he took out a bronze mirror and shook his wrist, but when he saw the light shining, a woman appeared.
The woman was dressed in white, with elegant hair, warm as spring, surprised and happy, and shouted, "Is it you?" It turns out that the woman is not someone else, but a eunuch. In the past, when sheltering from the rain, the two met.
The eunuch blushed and said with a smile, "It's me. Thank you for remembering me."
Wen Ruchun asked, "Who is the girl? How did you get here?"
The eunuch said, "I kindly set it up for you two, and I didn't say a word of thanks? As soon as you meet, you cross-ask the origin, and you treat the matchmaker like this?"
Wen Ruchun was puzzled and asked, "The matchmaker?"
When the eunuch saw that he was ignorant, she smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, my daughter has been dead for a hundred years. I have loved the zither since I was a child, and I will not change it until I die. Playing the strings to the sun, you have to hear the wonderful sound and yearn for it. It's just that you and I are different and dare not climb high. I'm secretly looking for a good mate for you in return for your favor. Mr. Liu's embroidered shoes, the words of "Xi Yu Chun" are all done by me.
Wen Ruchun was sincerely grateful and thanked him repeatedly.
The eunuch said, "The prince's piano skills are excellent. The little woman secretly figure it out, and it is difficult to understand the essence. If you dare to worship you as a teacher, don't refuse.
Wen Ruchun said, "Do you want to learn the piano from me? It's easy to do this. I will definitely teach you all about it. At present, stroke the piano and press the strings and teach carefully. The eunuch's qualifications are intelligent, and she is transparent at one point. A few days later, her piano skills have been greatly advanced and she has three deep flavors. She smiled and said, "Yes, you can become a teacher." I want to get up and do it.
Wen Ruchun was reluctant and asked, "Are you going to go?"
The eunuch said, "Yes, the separation and dispersion are normal. Don't be sad."
Wen Ruchun silently turned to his wife and asked her to keep her. The good union persuaded, "Sister, don't go, I'm not a jealous person. In the past, Princess E served a husband. Although I am not talented, I would like to follow the example of the ancients.
The eunuch said, "My sister is kind, and my sister is kind. It's just that people and ghosts have different ways to live together, which is harmful to the body of the two of you, and you can't be capricious. After saying that, he smiled faintly and said, "This separation will last forever. On the occasion of parting, I will play a guzheng for my sister. Please comment on it. Tune the strings and compose the music, play an ancient tune, the rhythm is strange, touching, heaven and earth, can be called a unique step.
At the end of the song, the eunuch said goodbye and said, "My sister has a good personality and will be blessed. May the two of you be harmonious, live together forever. Take out a roll of pictures from your arms, hand them to Wen, and say, "If you don't forget the old good, the portrait of this concubine can hang in the bedroom. When I'm happy, I burn incense and play the piano. Although I'm in the dark, I can feel the same way. Go out and escape, nowhere to be found.
