Shuoyun Feidu

In front of the bed was a gauze lantern about half a person's height, the candle flame slowly unfurled, the water-red veil hangs down, one hand is barely exposed outside the bed, the crimson gauze sleeves are soft and thin, and the five fingers exposed inside are like A few jade-white bamboo shoot tips.I don't know how long it took, the hand seemed to move slightly, and after a while, someone lifted the curtain from the bed and sat up slowly.

Hei Tianxiang fell asleep, opened his eyes, it seemed to be the dawn outside, Beitang Rongdu sat on the couch, pulled the drawstring at the head of the bed, and before long, several maids carried towels into the basin. Go to the room and stand in front of the bed to help him wash.Beitang Rongdu picked up a toothbrush made of soft bristles, dipped it in a tooth powder jar made of mint, saltpetre, gall, borneol, black powder, borax, and green salt, and finished brushing his teeth carefully. , Cuiping handed warm water from the side, and said: "Young master got up early today."

Beitang Rongdu took the water to rinse his mouth, then spit it into the water bowl, and then said: "I'm hungry, let's get something to eat." Cuiping pursed his lips and smiled, "There are steamed stuffed buns soaked in chicken sauce this morning. Young Master, do you think it’s okay?” Beitang Rongdu nodded, “Forget it.” Cuiping twisted a hot towel to wipe the young man’s face to wake him up, Beitang Rongdu only felt very comfortable and relaxed, at this moment, the bed Inner Shen Han Yan woke up slightly and turned around, with sleepy eyes, rubbed the center of his brows with his hands, slowly turned over, and asked in a low voice: "What time is it..."

A maid said the time softly, Beitang Rongdu had already put on a light smoky single robe, and two maids in front of the bed were squatting down to put on his shoes, when they heard this, they turned their heads and said with a smile: "God It's not very bright yet, so you don't need to get up so early, just lie down again." As he said, he got up and got out of bed, stretched his arms, and let the maid dress him: "I went to my grandmother today to talk, and I have I haven't seen her for a while." Shen Hanyan knew that Beitang Rongdu and his son had a rift these days, and the quarrel was quite unpleasant, and he thought that Beitang Rongdu wanted to go to his grandmother's place to relax, so he said: "You go That’s fine. It’s just Beitang, the castle owner is the elder after all, and you are a junior, so why—”

"Han Yan, you don't need to say much." Beitang Rongdu raised his chin slightly and asked someone to straighten his collar. A faint smile appeared on his face, and there was a little casual sarcasm in his tone: "I also I don’t want to say anything—the girl was pregnant before, no outsiders knew about it, but how come after one night, when I happened to be practicing in the forest in the back mountain, my father happened to have the child aborted... It seems that not all the people in my Bihai Pavilion have the same heart as me, so since there are many people with mixed eyes, I might as well not say anything."

These words are a bit embarrassing, they are not what servants should listen to, so as soon as Beitang Rongdu's words fell, the faces of several women in the room turned pale immediately, and they all hurriedly knelt down, only Cuiping was still there. Giving Beitang Rongdu continued to tie a purse, jade pendant and other things to his belt, and softly persuaded: "My lord..." Beitang Rongdu didn't care, he raised his chin to signal the girls to get up, and said: "You don't have to be afraid, come if you want to come. It should be nothing to do with you guys, get up and comb my hair." After speaking, they were already sitting in front of the mirror, and then all the girls rose up to serve Beitang Rongdu combing his hair and wearing crowns step by step.

It's the lingering spring, the air is filled with the scent of flowers and green grass, the peach blossoms are in full bloom, and the light red is flying around. A girl in a beautiful dress is dancing beside a peach blossom tree accompanied by the sound of silk and bamboo singing and dancing. Mu Qingping, but just after dancing for a while, she suddenly stopped, turned to a pavilion not far away and softly shouted: "Auntie, am I not dancing well enough?"

At this time, the sun was as bright as gold, and the spring sunshine carried a thin layer of warmth, spreading a golden luster on the ground. On a small couch in the pavilion, there was a stunning beauty leaning halfway on it. It was Xu Ximei, He was picking up the candied fruit on the small table in front of him and eating, when he heard the words, he smiled lightly and called out, "Let's rest first." Mu Qingping looked a little angry with herself, stomped her feet and said, "I don't believe it. Now, could it be that I really can't do this Jinghong Dance well?" As he spoke, he called several musicians to play again.

Xu Ximei got up gracefully, walked out of the gazebo, and said with a smile: "Silly girl, if you really want to learn, then watch me dance carefully." Like a butterfly, fluttering in the sunlight.

The surrounding flowers and trees are lush and colorful, Xu Ximei's arms are relaxed, and her figure is swaying like a flower branch. Mu Qingping is almost stunned by that enchanting and charming posture. Sprinkled finely on the ground, a few peach blossoms reflected Xu Ximei's smiling and graceful eyebrows, which were extremely bright and eye-catching.

Mu Qingping was both pleasantly surprised and envious, clapping her hands and saying, "Auntie, grandma dances really well! I've never seen anyone dance so beautifully before." She was wearing a light pink silver-patterned butterfly dress today, There is a chrysanthemum pattern embroidered on the neckline, and a long skirt embroidered with white magnolia in lotus color under it makes the figure very beautiful and charming, just like a new spring willow, with a green hairpin in the middle of the green silk, and a branch of emerald green steps, the whole person is like a flower dripping dew. Hibiscus, beautiful beyond words.From her eyebrows, Xu Ximei vaguely found some of the elder sister's description back then, her heart was soft, her warm palm held the girl's catkins, her smile was gentle: "Come, come and sit and talk." As he spoke, Let the musicians go down, and the two return to the pavilion together and sit down facing each other.

At that time, the breeze was cool, and Mu Qingping was playing with a delicate plain peony flower fan in her hand, her eyes were as bright as water, like a clear stream flowing, she looked at Xu Ximei, bit her pink lips lightly, and said enviously: "How does my aunt take care of it? It looks like it can be called my sister... If I am like this in the future, I will be willing to reduce my life for a few years." Xu Ximei snickered slightly, and couldn't help laughing Said: "I'm over 40, why am I still young? If you take a closer look, you can see that there are wrinkles in the corners of my eyes." Mu Qingping smiled like a silver bell, her voice was clear and moving, and she said prettyly: "You still complain? I grow up so big, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen." Xu Ximei took her hand, smiled and stroked: "What a sweet little mouth! Let me ask you, girl, you are already ten years old this year. It's seven."

The girl's slender and white fingers held a round fan. The bright peonies on the fan matched her beautiful face, which was very moving. Mu Qingping nodded and said with a smile: "Well, I am indeed 17 years old." The gold-studded emerald armor on the top was radiant, faintly colorful, and lightly brushed across the back of the girl's hand, bringing a little coolness, and said with a smile: "When I was your age, even Duer's mother It's already been born, why, but you don't even have a man you like?"

Mu Qingping blushed, unconsciously moved her fingers on the handle of the fan, pursed her lips and said, "What are you talking about..." Xu Ximei smiled as brightly as a red rose, and said: "What's the matter, I heard that you have provoked a lot of young talents in the world to secretly admire, and one of them, Su Qinghe, even asked for a marriage in private, but you don't notice it." Mu Qingping smiled slightly. Yihong stuck out her tongue and said, "I didn't say they were bad, nor did I dislike them, but I just don't like them." Xu Ximei chuckled unknowingly, and asked, "Oh, how do you like them?" how is it like?"

Although Mu Qingping is a young girl who has never been out of the court, she is not shy by nature, and there is no one else here, so she lowered her head and slowly flicked the bracelet on her wrist with her hand, and said after a while: "He, you have to treat me It's fine." Xu Ximei laughed, and her beautiful eyes sparkled: "What kind of condition is this? It's too simple." Mu Qingping pursed her pink lips slightly, and said, "How can this condition be considered simple? I If he likes someone, he will be good to me for the rest of his life, and I will always be the only one, and there will be no other women." Xu Ximei slowly sipped the fragrant tea, then smiled and said 'oh', and said : "Girl, this condition is really not easy... It's not only not simple, but it's quite difficult."

Mu Qingping's wonderful eyes widened slightly, and she said in disbelief: "That's why I hate those people. Why can women only guard one man for the rest of their lives, but men have to have many women and be romantic? Is it true that as a man? , can't you just treat one woman wholeheartedly?" Xu Ximei smiled softly, and sighed slightly: "Man is so fickle, that's all." Mu Qingping snorted softly, shook the round fan in her hand, A pair of sapphire pans trembled tremblingly, and said stubbornly: "Since I was young, I have refused to share my things with others, let alone the person I like. If he can't treat me wholeheartedly, then I would rather not, I, Mu Qingping, don't care for such a man."

Xu Ximei's eyebrows moved slightly, as if she had been touched by something, she suddenly laughed, caressed her temples lazily, and said leisurely: "Really, if I..." Her smile faded away , did not continue to talk, but Mu Qingping sat in the pavilion, only feeling the breeze blowing on her face, seeing that today is also a high and refreshing sky, with soft clouds in the sky, she is a young girl after all, and she is quite childish, so she Feeling playful, she shook Xu Ximei's arm coquettishly, and said crisply, "Auntie, do you have a kite here? I haven't started flying a kite yet this year."

Xu Ximei smiled and agreed, and said: "Of course, I saw a few girls flying a kite a few days ago." After finishing speaking, she called people to come here and ordered to bring a kite over.After a while, someone sent a big kite in the shape of a swallow, which was exquisitely made and beautiful. Mu Qingping was very happy, picked up the kite, went out of the pavilion, and set it up not far away.

It's just that although the weather is good today, it's not a good time to fly a kite. Although it's a cool breeze, the wind is soft and soft without much strength. It was flying high, but not long after, the kite in mid-air suddenly swayed to the ground and fell to the ground. Xu Ximei in the pavilion just smiled when he saw it.

Because the line was long, the kite fell far away. Mu Qingping stomped her feet angrily, and hurriedly raised the hem of her skirt that was dragging the ground slightly. While holding the line, she quickly followed the long line to the place where the kite fell. walk.

After finding the location, the kite was hanging obliquely on a peach blossom tree. A young man was raising his hand to reach for the kite on the tree branch. The young man was wearing a red gold hairpin crown and a thin gold-filled embroidery Luo robes, tall and slim, hair like a black waterfall, snow-white fingers have touched the edge of the kite.At that time, the tree was in full bloom, and a few petals were falling down here and there. The young man pinched a corner of the kite with two fingers, took it off the tree, and turned his head towards the place where Mu Qingping was. Looking in the direction, I saw the string stick in the girl's hand at a glance, and said with a smile: "It's yours."

The thin light golden sunshine covered the sky, the young man's blue eyes had a bright smile, and his face was mirrored by peach blossoms, like an illusion like fog, Mu Qingping felt a little pain in front of her eyes suddenly, as if being stabbed by the bright spring light, she paused for a moment, Cai tilted his head as if feeling a little uncomfortable, and spat with a smile: "Hey, you kid, why don't you call me sister again?"
