Chapter 14 Drunken Moon and Breeze
Chu Jiangping stood in front of the window on the second floor, looking calmly into the distance. The old Baifu is waiting on the side. He didn't look back. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is she out?" Bai Fu understood who she was referring to and replied respectfully, "The young master, yes!"
Didn't he tell her yesterday that she wouldn't let her go out tonight? Why, she still left. A soft sedan picked her up at the side door, but she didn't come to tell him! This is the first time in five years.
Lipsia gently opened the door and bowed: "Go back to the master, the lady said that she went to Zuiyueju, so she won't come to accompany you." Her habit, no matter what, she won't bring for a fortsia, and this time it's the same. She sent for forseng in order not to see him.
"Go ahead with your work! Fubo, you can also go down. I want to be alone. Chu Jiangping still looked at the sun sinking in the distance, and his voice was full of vicissitudes.
Fubo nodded, wink at the forear, went out and closed the door to him. Outside the door, he sighed heavily. He hasn't seen such a young master for a long time. What on earth happened between her and him?
Fubo's heavy sigh came to Chu Jiangping's ears. He smiled helplessly, and it turned out that they would go to this point. No, it's still light. If she knows his identity, I'm afraid she has the heart to kill him! At the beginning, it was just because her eyes were very similar to Xin'er, so she rescued her, taught her martial arts, and sent her to Qiushui Pavilion to learn piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and dance, but he never thought that she was not only a young lady in the upper government, but also the queen of the Great Yan Kingdom!
Fate plays tricks on people, creation plays tricks on people!
"Shuang, go to Zuiyueju to tell Ruyi, and ask her to leave Wanqing Pavilion for me tonight." Still, there was no turning back, but a figure flashed in front of the window and disappeared into a beautiful sunset.
The sunset is infinitely good, but near dusk.
Is it not good at dusk? The gorgeousness in the sky will be remembered forever.
When Lian Jian woke up in the morning, she had already offered a hot towel and asked her if she had eaten with Chu Jiangping. Thirteen Niangwent for a long time and finally didn't plan to see him. She didn't know how she should face him after what happened last night.
Shirteen Niang stayed in her embroidery building all day, lazy, and when she was bored, she actually copied some patterns for later embroidery. It was not until evening that she ordered Ye Feng to tell Ruyi that she would take the stage as usual tonight. Ye Feng was a bodyguard sent to her by Chu Jiangping, but she had never used him, although he was always by his side and protected her in the dark.
The sedan chair stops at the side door, which is the route she goes to the drunken moon residence every time. She didn't want others to know that the thirteenth lady in the middle of the drunken moon was the young lady of the Chu family. Before getting on the sedan chair, she looked up at Chu Jiangping's bedroom and finally withdrew her eyes and got into the sedan chair.
Although it is the weather in June, the wind blowing at night is still cool, with indescribable comfort. Thirteen Niang went straight into the small building in the backyard and greeted her. She looked at her and smiled, "Miss, didn't you agree not to come today? I didn't ask the sedan chair to pick you up. If it hadn't been for the night wind..."
Thirteen Niang is still wearing a veil, walking gracefully, bypassing Ruyi, and smiling: "Sister, big brother, he's back!" I think you should know. Because Chu Jiangping sent someone to order her not to go on stage tonight.
"I know that the master is now in Wanqing Pavilion." Ruyi's words shocked Thirteen Niang. That man, hasn't he ever set foot in such a place of fireworks? Even though this drunken moon residence was done by him, he still never came here. Why did he suddenly come today?
"Miss, come here as soon as you dress up. I'm afraid you'll have to press the array tonight!" Ruyi smiled, and the sadness in her eyes scratched, hurting Thirteen Niang's eyes.
Why are women always so infatuated, while men are always so affectionate?
She chose a set of pure white dance clothes covered with ice silk brocade. The folds of the white yarn drooped from her waist, setting off her beautiful figure, and there was an ethereal feeling when walking. The waist is a mesh cover made of red rope stringed with superior eastern beads, one foot long, two connected at the end, and a foot long red ear underneath. Only four white jade hairpins were used on the head, and there were threads scattered behind, which actually had a different charm. The mirror decal is yellow, and in the middle of her eyebrows, she depicts the outline of the blooming lotus with a red pen. At the end of the eyebrows, she pasted the shape of a plum blossom with purple fine gemstones on the right, which adds a little charm. Rouge fluttered on her face, faintly, covering her pale.
She looked at herself in the bronze mirror and couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth, with some bitterness. Without these scars, this face would be regarded as a charming face, which is a pity! Thinking of this, he hung the white ice silk veil on his ear and embroidered a plum blossom with extremely light pink silk thread, making his cheeks more looming.
A maid in a bun came in and held a tray in her hand. When she saw the thirteenth mother, Yingying saluted: "Miss, mom is afraid that you haven't had dinner yet. I specially ordered me to send these things to the girl, saying that the girl will have to wait for a while, and she will always be cushioned." After saying that, he put the tray on the table and brought out the white porcelain bowl with blue and white flowers: "This is a white-eared lotus seed soup." Another pink butterfly plate was brought out: "This is cloud liquid purple frost. I hope it suits the girl's taste." After saying that, he smiled indifferently and left carefully.
It's worthy of being trained by the eldest brother. He can always be so unhurried and always stick to the etiquette to the end.
Thirteen Niang picked up a piece of cloud liquid purple frost and put it in her mouth, and couldn't help admiring: "It's really a good thing." It melts in the mouth and leaves a fragrance after use. It is indeed the craft of the first chef in the capital.
I haven't eaten anything in the middle of this drunken moon for a long time.
Thirteen Niang doesn't think she ate two more pieces. Ruyi came in with a folding fan and looked solemn: "Miss, the young man I told you the other day came again today!" He originally wanted to go to Wanqing Pavilion, but later he went to Feixuyin.
"Is there anything abnormal?" People here have a pair of good skills. As long as they come for the second time, they will find out their details, and today's one can let Ruyi come over again, which shows that they don't know the details of this person at all! Should she meet him?
"Keep an eye on! As long as nothing happens. Sister, is it time for me to play?
"Ye�, that's why you are invited to go there. The lantern riddle has been prepared tonight, and you will host it. Ruyi said with a smile.
Thirteen Niang nodded gently, saying that it was clear, and followed Ruyi out of the embroidery building. Miss, although you wear a veil every time, you have a unique flavor every time. No wonder many romantic people in the capital want to see your face? Ruyi covered her mouth with a peach blossom fan and smiled. Tonight, there was another hot scene in the hall. The key is that many princes and children of Wang came to see the fairy face.
"These people all think that what they haven't seen is definitely the best, but when they see my face, I'm afraid they will destroy the whole drunken moon residence." There was a slight pain on her face. She had just used the essentials brought by Chu Jiangping from Baiyun Villa. Although it was cool, it was very itchy. If it hadn't been for her good determination, now this face would have been scratched by herself.
This time, the big red gauze tent did not fall down. The table was full of large and small, high and low drums. Thirteen Niang held a drum hammer and stepped forward step by step from behind. Huasheng on her forehead flashed golden light, shining on her white and tender face, but the gauze towel covered half of it. Although the gauze scarf was transparent, because a plum blossom made thirteen more My mother has the beauty of holding the pipa half-covered face.
There were bursts of cheering sounds below, which were naturally mixed with the sound of coax and even disdain. There is always such a group of people in the world. Although they go in and out of this place of fireworks, they always feel that they are as high. In fact, no one is a saint. Why should they embarras each other?
Shirteen Niang's snow-white broad sleeves waved gently, and the sound of "dong" drums covered the boiling sound of the people below. She is like a jumping elf, flashing in the middle, constantly hitting high and low, big and small cowhide drums, who is not as light as a human being on earth.
Chu Jiangping looked at the man on the high platform through his veil and didn't notice a smile on the corners of his mouth. This woman finally grew up, and her dance was passed down. It was not wrong to decide to send her to that place to learn dance.
Thirteen Niang kept knocking on the high platform, and the points were actually hit according to Ten Sides Ambush. Her flying hair flew in the air, the white skirt was scratched, and the red tassels were also scratched in the lights, which made people feel hazy. At the end of the dance, even she was breathless, with drops of water oozing from sweating on her temples.
Looking at her chest falling together and the sweat falling from her cheeks, Chu Jiang had a feeling of pity.
And Murong Haoxuan, who was flying Xuyin, stared at Thirteen Niang enthusiastically. If he saw it well, this woman would be Miss Yaner in Chu's house! But how can a family business as big as Chu's family make a woman come to this place of fireworks?
Thirteen Niang has felt four different eyes from the elegant room on the second floor, two of which are fierce and two are indifferent. She looked in the direction of Wanqing Pavilion and smiled. The person below is already shouting for her to dance again, and she is just standing in the middle of a red carpet like a fairy. Her clear eyes look down: "Guys, today we have several lantern riddles for you to guess who will become the winner in the end, and I will personally dance for him. Please go to the lantern riddle!" The graceful voice came from under the moving veil, with demagogy, so that the people below couldn't help but explode.
Finally, you can enjoy her dancing alone! This is what many people dream of, how can they not be excited! Everyone is rubbing their hands and eager to try, waiting for the next program.
In the first round, the ten people who answered the most questions correctly and took the shortest time won. Next to her are two beautiful little girls who are responsible for singing tickets, one is responsible for statistics, and the one sitting in the middle is Thirteen Niang. Because they are all simple questions, many people handed in their answers. After the statistics, ten people were selected, including Chu Jiangping and Murong Haoxuan. Murong Haoxuan used a disguise name, Wang Mubai, while Chu Jiangping directly used his original name.
In the second round, Thirteen Niang will be tested by herself. If she answers correctly, she will stay and continue. If the answer is wrong, she will step down. Because there were several people in the elegant room on the second floor, it was inconvenient to go to the stage, and Thirteen Niang asked them to stay in the elegant room to continue answering questions. She came up with a total of ten questions, each of which were drunk in front of the window at night; dawn came to dredge the wet the swing; discuss a wonderful plan to solve the eyebrows; the knife is like a long wind to destroy the apricots; the high-altitude clouds and geese are slanting; the long snakes hold their heads to play flying butterflies; the remnants of flowers in the mountains; the peach forest returns at the end of spring; the spring rain sprinkles in front of the house; sleep alone waiting for the public in the palace" Murong Haoxuan even said the explanation clearly, and the thirteenth Niang continued with a smile. In the end, Chu Jiangping and Murong Haoxuan came together.
Shisan Niang looked at the two people and smiled: "Both princes must be talented people. Since the lantern riddle can't tell the winner, then I will make a couplet. Whichever of the two princes will win the next couplet first, okay?
Bo both agreed. Thirteen Niang stood up, thought for a moment, and said, "Yue Fei died. I asked you how to distinguish between loyalty and traitors!" She said this in the direction of Wanqing Pavilion. Since Murong Haoxuan's voice sounded, she had guessed the identity of this person, so the couplet was also deliberately made by her.
Murong Haoxuan was stunned. This was similar to what Thirteen Niang said when he went to Chu's house last time. Did she have to suffer? This still needs to be asked. That is the time when Chu Jiangping took the lead. Thirteen Niang heard nothing in the Wanqing Pavilion and announced Chu Jiangping's victory with a smile.
