Lin Daiyu in modern times

Seeing Lin Daiyu coming, Xu Fan put out the cigarette.

"Seeing that you were sleeping soundly, I didn't wake you up."

"I just troubled Sister Zhang to bring me in. When I was in the house in the city, I troubled Sister Wang again." Lin Daiyu pressed her hands to her face, feeling a little embarrassed.After all, it's always wrong for a girl her age to be carried into the house.

Xu Fan choked, and then coughed a few times—he was suddenly afraid to tell her the truth.During this period of time, Daiyu got to know him a lot, but there was almost no physical contact, and she couldn't even touch her hands.Now she misunderstood that it was the nanny who carried her in and felt embarrassed. If she knew that the person who carried her was herself, she would definitely become angry from embarrassment.

Xu Fan changed the subject sensibly, and said, "By the way, what do you want to eat tonight?"

"The Taihu whitebait cooked by Sister Zhang yesterday was very good for me." Lin Daiyu thought for a moment and said, "The mapo tofu is also very good."

Xu Fan's taste is too spicy, but Lin Daiyu doesn't like and can't eat spicy food.She only tasted the mapo tofu, but Xu Fan ate most of it.Hearing what Lin Daiyu said, Xu Fan was a little surprised. He knew that Daiyu had a delicate mind and was very considerate to the people he liked in "A Dream of Red Mansions". People who were liked by her and who came with her knew her benefits.But this is the first time Xu Fan has been cared about by her.

"What are you looking at me for?" Lin Daiyu turned her face away, and after waiting for a while, she didn't see Xu Fan's answer, so she turned her head to look at him.But Xu Fan was already looking at the distant sky, facing Daiyu sideways, the corners of his mouth were curved, and his eyes were bright.With his hands in his trouser pockets, he seemed to feel that Lin Daiyu was looking at him. He said, "Daiyu, I only have one thought in my mind right now."

"Huh?" Lin Daiyu saw that what he said was so serious, she just regarded it as something important, so she simply stopped covering her face and looked at him seriously.She only reached Xu Fan's chest, and it was a bit difficult for her to stand beside him and look up at him.Xu Fan smiled slightly, turned to look at her, and said, "No one can shoot mapo tofu with me at night."

"How old are you?" Lin Daiyu was amused by him, covering her lips with her hands and laughing non-stop.

Xu Fan looked at him, thinking in his heart that he had only one thought, which was to pick up Sister Lin and sprint for [-] meters, and bring her back to the capital without leaving her!If he hadn't been sane, he would have done so.Suzhou is the hometown of Sister Lin and a place that Sister Lin is familiar with.And here are her friends and teachers.The modern society is already unfamiliar enough to her, Xu Fan feels that he can no longer be so selfish to deprive her of some remaining sense of security.

"What are you talking about? Are you smiling so happily?" Su Yue jumped downstairs, still humming.As soon as Lin Daiyu saw her, she glanced at Xu Fan delicately, then trotted towards Su Yue, and said, "Tonight, you are not allowed to grab mapo tofu from our uncle Xu Fan. We have to fight with An Ran later. Say something."

"What's wrong with Mapo Tofu?" Zhao Anran was also planning to come downstairs, and happened to hear Lin Daiyu's words while walking on the stairs.

"Ma Po Tofu is fine, but sister Lin specially ordered the Mapo Tofu for dinner today, so you can't compete with me." Xu Fan raised his eyebrows.

Lin Daiyu was about to scold him, when Su Yue asked Sister Lin what she wanted to order.Zhao Anran asked Lin Daiyu not to be outdone.They didn't expect that Lin Daiyu would remember their preferences deeply in their hearts, and they were surprised and happy at the same time.Only Xu Fan's originally high mood also fell back to the original place.

However, a dinner was still enjoyable.

After dinner, the four of Xu Fan went to Zhao Anran's house.Zhao Ziming and Aunt Zhao went to a friend's son's wedding banquet today, and they haven't come back yet.They took Lin Daiyu and the others to the small study, but saw a guqin on the table by the window, a 25-string harp on the table beside it, and guzhengs, flutes and other musical instruments hanging on the wall.Zhao Anran said: "Although we have a lot of musical instruments in our family, in fact, no one in our family knows how to play them. My mother wanted to learn classical musical instruments on a whim, but after buying the musical instruments, she stopped learning after a month. Then these things were put on hold. Here, waiting to collect dust. Sister Lin, hurry up and play it, let me hear if it is the Guqin piece by the old man."

"Yes, yes, I want to watch Daiyu play the piano too! Daiyu, sit down quickly, and I'll take a photo for you first. By the way, can I make a short video later? Don't worry, I will never spread it. Only a few of us know." Su Yue also took out her mobile phone to prepare.

Lin Daiyu was pushed and pushed by her to sit on the seat, Su Yue asked her to pose, but she refused again.

After a little adjustment in the sitting position, Lin Daiyu tried the timbre.

"This piano is really good. It's a pity not to use it." Lin Daiyu said regretfully.

Zhao Anran was also very helpless, his mother was good at everything, but her interests changed quickly, she often fished for three days and posted on the net for two days.

Lin Daiyu was ready, and Xu Fan and the others naturally sat on the sofa beside him.

Su Yue was ready to take a short video, and then started to record. Lin Daiyu glanced at her coquettishly, and that glance was recorded by her mobile phone. Su Yue felt her heart beating so hard that she couldn't wait Before she came back to her senses, Lin Daiyu had already dialed the first note.

Of the old man's score fragments, what Zhao Anran knew of, or was very impressed with, were only two pieces - "Moonlight Night" and "Spring Flower Song".The former is a work of missing my hometown, and the sound of the piano is full of sadness and sadness.As for Chunhuaqu, it is clear and joyful, full of vitality.Of the two songs before, Lin Daiyu liked "Moonlight Night" more, but now her mood has changed, and the first song is "Spring Flowers".

Daiyu played for only 3 minutes, Zhao Anran's eyes lit up, and she said to Xu Fan: "This is the piece!"

Xu Fan raised his eyebrows, and after Lin Daiyu played for a while, he strolled to the 25-string harp, picked the strings one by one, and kept up with Lin Daiyu's rhythm!These two musical instruments, Qin and Se, often appeared at ancient court banquets at the same time.As the saying goes, the drums, zithers, and qin are harmonious and exquisite. I have a wine, with the heart of a guest of Yanle.Of course, in ancient times, literati and scholars could only play the piano after taking a bath and fasting, while Se did not have so many requirements.

Lin Daiyu was a little surprised at first, but after hearing the stringed sound, she understood the elegant meaning, and felt that Xu Fan's thoughts were conveyed by the stringed sound, and she knew it in her heart.This "Spring Flower Song" was originally a brisk tune, and when Xu Fan played it in such an ensemble, Lin Daiyu felt the warmth of spring in March, and the spring flowers gradually bloomed.The two played the piano and the harp, and exchanged eye contact frequently, as if thousands of words were explained clearly in this back and forth.

Su Yue was still focused on making short videos, because Lin Daiyu and Xu Fan were far away, and the camera of her mobile phone couldn't put the two of them in the same frame. Incredible.Only Zhao Anran, who had nothing to do, felt excluded again.

Xu's family is a scholarly family. Although Xu Fan started his own business after returning from studying abroad, he was born in such a family, and he learned a lot even if he was a child.Not to mention, it is one of the six arts of a gentleman.Xu Fan was very obedient before he entered the rebellious youth period. He had to practice calligraphy and classical musical instruments every day.Zhao Anran rubbed his nose and thought to himself, no wonder someone like Sister Lin appeared in Xu's house instead of her own.Regardless of whether it is a hobby or not, in short, in communication, things that others can understand with a zither, I certainly cannot communicate in this way.

Just thinking about something, the performance over there is over.Su Yue pressed the stop button, ended the short video, clapped vigorously, and said, "It's so good! Mr. Zhao, is this the song you want? After all, why is this song so good?! I can feel it when I hear it Happiness is overwhelming!"

"It's the "Spring Flower Song" that the old man was looking for, that's right. However, the song is generally pleasant, but the performer is unusually happy." Zhao Anran rubbed his chin and expressed his own conclusion.

"This person is used to talking nonsense." Lin Daiyu said, "Why am I not generally happy?"

Zhao Anran said: "According to the old man's research, the protagonist of this "Spring Flower Song" should be a gorgeous and beautiful woman. She met a sweetheart at first, and fell in love with her sweetheart. The two should have I got a marriage contract. But after Chunhua married this sweetheart, it should have been a very ordinary life, and then the sweetheart changed his mind. As for Chunhua's choice, because it is a remnant, I don't know what it is."

"Chunhua left her husband." Xu Fan said, "Chunhua must be a unique ancient woman for the reason why the author can compose the music and pass it down. , there are many beautiful things besides love and love in this great world."

Zhao Anran burst out laughing: "My brother, when did you become a female friend?! Obviously two months ago, you were still a ten thousand year old single who didn't understand the style."

"Brother Xu Fan is right." Lin Daiyu also got up and said with a smile, "Although the author didn't say so in the book, but the later song is so cheerful, it must be Chunhua who has become the real self."

Zhao Anran clicked his tongue, why did he even call out his brother?Moreover, the two people were beaming with joy just now, could it be that they communicated with each other? !Zhao Anran moved to Su Yue's side and said, "Su Yue, do you feel that something is wrong?"

Su Yue pondered, and said sinisterly: "...Actually, have you ever thought that the reason why the song is so cheerful may be that Chunhua sister cut off the second child of this heartless person, because she successfully took revenge on this heartless person. , that’s why you want to sing and dance?!”
