Huaxi Chronicle

Chapter 49 Chapter 49

Although Qingyun Tower is a tea house, it does not only provide tea, but also drinks and food, and there are singers performing at night.

After everyone drank tea for an hour, Zhao Shiyi asked the servant to serve some food and drinks.Halfway through the banquet, when the wine was hot, I don't know who started it and said: "I heard that all the singers in Qingyun Tower have unique skills, especially good at playing and singing the pipa. Why don't we call one and sing a song?"

Hao Huiwan responded with a smile: "I think this is feasible." After speaking, she called a servant and gave him a hundred dollars to call the best singer in Qingyun Tower.

Within half a quarter of an hour, the servant led the girl in a skirt into the room.The girl walked into the room with her pipa in her arms, bowed slightly towards the crowd, and then sat on the seat specially prepared for singers in the room.

She looked around first, and finally her eyes fell on Xun Feibai who was talking to Zhao Shiyi.

Zhao Shiyi noticed her gaze, gently pushed Xun Feibai with his arm and said, "This singer has been looking this way since she came in, do you know her?"

Hearing the sound, Xun Feibai raised his head, glanced at the singer, and was a little surprised after recognizing his appearance.

This singer is exactly the woman in the alley just now.

Xun Feibai nodded slightly towards her, then turned to Zhao Shiyi and said, "It's not acquaintance by chance." Then he told Zhao Shiyi what happened in the alley.

After hearing this, Zhao Shiyi couldn't help sweating for the two of them, he looked at Xun Feibai and said, "If that man refused to give up at that time, this matter would not be good, how dare you, a woman, go to rescue someone alone. Knowing that you are kind, don't act recklessly in the future."

Xun Feibai was also a little scared when he first went upstairs, but she didn't think about it for a while, she nodded at Zhao Shiyi and said, "Well, I will definitely pay attention next time."

After Zhao Shiyi heard it, he couldn't laugh or cry and said, "You still think about this next time."

Xun Feibai patted him on the shoulder and said, "If I don't act today, how can you still listen to other girls singing now?"

Zhao Shiyi shook his head helplessly and said, "You really are."

He didn't say the following words, he knew that even if he said it, Xun Feibai might not be able to listen to it, so he didn't persuade him any more.

The woman first played a piece of Yangchun Baixue, and then played a piece of Fengqiuhuang.The sound of the pipa is crisp and bright, and the voice of the singer is soft and melodious, and the sound is intoxicating to the ears.

It's just that the next songs are all songs about love, "Long Lovesickness", "Spring Dawn in Yulou", and "Long Autumn Night".

Xun Feibai didn't realize it, but Zhao Shiyi, who was at the side, looked up every time he could see the singer looking over from time to time, with expectations, eagerness and joy.He looked sideways at Xun Feibai who was a little drunk, shook his head, and sighed inwardly: There are some things that I really can't envy.

At this time, Xun Feibai, who was listening to these lovesick songs, had already drifted away, and the beautiful figure in his mind, sometimes near and sometimes far away, entangled his heart.

The night was getting dark, and the group of people was full of wine and food, and they all had a drunken naive look.At the end of the song, everyone said goodbye and left.

Xun Feibai was also slightly drunk, and she staggered out of Qingyun Tower.The lights on the street were not as bright as those in the square, she didn't see clearly for a while, she staggered and almost fell to the ground.Fortunately, someone behind grabbed her arm and tightly wrapped her waist, holding her so that she didn't fall down.

Xun Feibai turned around and saw the unfamiliar face, he would have recognized it, it was the singer whom she helped out just now.But the posture of the two was too intimate, and Xun Fei's baijiu mood subsided a lot in an instant, she quickly withdrew from the man's arms, bowed and thanked: "Thank you, miss."

Seeing her eager to avoid suspicion, the girl's face darkened.She was about to ask a question, but was interrupted.

The guards of the Yan family walked up to the two of them, bowed to Xun Feibai and said, "Miss Xun, the third lady is afraid that you have had too much wine, so I will ask the little one to pick you up."

Xun Feibai was a little surprised to see the guards, but he was also a little happy to hear that Yan Cong'an had ordered them to come.She looked at the pitch-black sky, and asked softly, "It's been such an hour, hasn't Cong'an rested yet?"

The guard glanced at the singer and replied respectfully: "The third lady is your fiancée. If you haven't gone back, the third lady will be worried."

The guard is usually not very talkative, this is the first time Xun Feibai heard him talking so much, presumably it was because she went back too late and delayed Yan Cong'an's rest, so he started to leave: "Then let's go now, Don't waste any more time." Then he seemed to remember the singer beside him, and said goodbye: "Thank you just now."

After Xun Fei finished speaking, he turned around and followed the guards into the carriage and left.

Seeing her leaving, the singer didn't stop her, she just watched the carriage go away quietly.The servant girl at the side stepped forward and said, "Miss Yang, did you fancy that scholar lady?"

The singer withdrew her gaze, lowered her eyes and said, "After all, it's just my delusional thinking."

The servant girl was puzzled and said: "Miss Yang didn't even ask, how do you know she didn't mean it?"

The singer didn't answer, she turned and went back to Qingyun Tower.

The servant girl didn't know the reason, but the diva knew it in her heart, and she could understand the deep meaning in the guard's words, this little lady Xun was betrothed.Furthermore, although the clothes that that person is wearing just now are simple in style, the embroidery patterns on the clothes are extremely fine, and the fabric is also high-quality cloud silk, and a piece of cloth costs a hundred guan, which is affordable Yun Si's people are either rich or noble, which is not what her little diva Neng Xiao thinks.

When Xun Feibai returned to Yiyuan, Yan Cong'an was wearing a coat and was opening the door to come out of the room.The two looked at each other, and Xun Feibai said apologetically, "But I came back too late and delayed my rest in Cong'an?"

Yan Cong'an shook his head lightly and said: "Xia night is a bit stuffy, I can't sleep for a while, I want to come out to cool off."

Xun Feibai walked to Yan Cong'an's side, looked at her and said with a smile, "Do you want me to talk to Cong'an?"

As soon as she walked in, Yan Cong'an smelled a different light fragrance on her body, and she frowned slightly.

Seeing this, Xun Feibai raised her hand and smelled the smell on her body. She was indeed a bit drunk, so she took a step back and said, "I smell quite alcoholic, so I'd better wash up first."

Yan Cong'an didn't say anything to stop him, and when Xun Feibai entered the bath room, she asked Yuzhu to summon the guards who followed Xun Feibai today.The guard relayed to her one by one what happened in the alley today and what happened in front of Qingyun Tower.After Yan Cong'an listened, he raised his eyebrows and waved away the guards.

She was afraid that someone would be unfavorable to Xun Feibai, so she sent guards to follow her. Who would have thought that this person himself was not as worried as she was, and he didn't care about his own safety, and dared to rush into such a dangerous situation forward.

If the gangsters in the alley were more ruthless, how could she take them out safely.

Yan Cong'an felt very displeased, she didn't like Xun Feibai's disregard of his own safety to help others, and she also didn't like that he always provoked other women inadvertently.That woman in Baoshanzhai was like that that day, and so is the singer today.

A person who obviously doesn't know what it is, but he is the most 'forgiving' everywhere.

When Xun Feibai finished washing, the lamp in Yan Cong'an's room had already gone out.Although she felt a little regretful, she didn't think much about it, she just went back to her room and lay down.

Maybe it was because he drank too much wine, and after a while Xun Feibai dreamed of seeing Duke Zhou.

Early the next morning, Xun Feibai got up a bit late, after she had breakfast, she walked around the courtyard, but did not find Yan Cong'an.But she didn't see the jade beads and the treasure box, so she guessed that Yan Cong'an was not at home.After asking the old servant, it was indeed Yan Cong'an who led the two of them out.

Yan Cong'an went out for a whole day.It wasn't until Xun Fei had eaten his dinner that he saw the three master and servant come back from the outside.She went up to chat for a few words, but found that Yan Cong'an was a little lacking in interest.Xun Feibai thought she was tired from walking for a day, so he didn't bother her too much.

For five or six days in a row, Yan Cong'an left early and returned late, and never talked to her too much.Xun Feibai was a little worried, wondering if there was something wrong with the store in Binzhou?

On this day, Xun Feibai was sitting alone in the small building. She thought that when Yan Cong'an came back, she would ask carefully if there was something wrong with the shop, if there was anything she could do to help.

The old servant entered the door from the outside and told Xun Fei that someone was looking for her outside the white door.

Xun Feibai was a little puzzled, she followed the old servant to the door.There was a woman in a long gown standing outside the door. When Xun Feibai saw her, he smiled and said, "Senior Sister Mu, why are you here?"

Seeing her coming out, Mu Jianghan smiled and said: "That Japan has an appointment with you, and I will come to look for you when I have time today. Let's go, senior sister will take you to Zuixianlou for a sit down."

Xun Feibai didn't refuse, he gave orders to the old servant, and left with Mu Jianghan.

Zuixianlou is a small three-story building built on the banks of the Sishui River in Binzhou.Sitting on the Zuixian Tower for dinner, you can see the blue waves of the Sishui River directly, and you can also look down at the people coming and going on the street from top to bottom, which is very leisurely.

It happened that it was time for lunch, and Mu Jianghan ordered some Binzhou special snacks, and chatted with Xun Feibai while eating.

The two grew up together since they were young, and Mu Jianghan was a few years older. She always regarded Xun Feibai as her younger sister.Mu Jianghan was elected as the leader of Chunwei three years ago, so he didn't go back to Huaxi County, but went directly to the capital to join his uncle.For the next three years, he had been preparing for the Qiuwei exam in the capital, and even the death of Xun Feibai's father was only known after three months.She asked someone to bring some money to Xun Feibai, but Xun Feibai did not accept it.Mu Jianghan sent her another letter, introducing her to Guangji Temple to help copy scriptures.

They haven't seen each other for three years, so they have a lot to talk about.Xun Feibai first talked about what happened around him in recent years, and then asked about Mu Jianghan's scientific research.Mu Jianghan also told her what he had seen and heard in Kyoto in the past few years, and how he came to Binzhou after entering the Imperial Academy as an official after the palace examination.

Afterwards, Mu Jianghan asked about Xun Feibai's engagement, and Xun Feibai told her how the two met and how they got engaged.

Almost two hours have passed since the two of them had a meal together.
