The Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness of Crossing

Shen Zhongyuan carried the parrot cage and stepped into the study later, but smelled the fragrance in the room.On the piano table, there was an extra Yaoqin at some point, and his beautiful female apprentice was standing beside the piano bench, waving at him with a smile on her face.

With this situation and scene, I feel heart-stuffed when I enter the eyes.

"Master, please sit down." Yuan Cuixiao took out a handkerchief from the bottom of his sleeve, and pretended to brush the piano stool.

Shen Zhongyuan hung the birdcage in front of the window, walked slowly to her side and sat down, pointed to a chair a little far away and said, "You sit too."

"En." Yuan Cuixiao responded and walked towards the chair.

Just as Shen Zhongyuan breathed a sigh of relief, he saw that she was actually dragging the chair, and "Tetetit" came back to him again, and he couldn't help but said: "Little lady, are you not angry at being a teacher now?"

Yuan Cuixiao looked at him with her chin on her shoulders and said, "I was a little angry at first, who made the master look so good-looking. I watched and watched, and the anger disappeared."

"Haha! Haha!" Suddenly there were two dry laughs from under the window, it was the gray-headed parrot.

Yuan Cuixiao smiled from the bottom of his eyes, covered his mouth and said: "A bird that understands human nature!"

Shen Zhongyuan supported his forehead: "Once you don't think of goodness in your heart, evil will enter it. You must always keep it in mind, little lady."

"Master, what you said is wrong." Wu Cuixiao retorted eloquently, "It is because students have kind thoughts in their hearts that they tell the truth. If students are angry at you for being ugly, then you are really deluded by lard."

Where did Zhao Jue find such a treasure to enter the house... Shen Zhongyuan sighed, and changed the subject: "Little lady, are you planning to learn the piano today?"

"That's right." Yuan Cuixiao nodded and smiled, "Master just said that he wants to make amends, I think it's better to play a tune and listen to it."

Shen Zhong Yuanping stretched out his hand, tightened the strings of the qin, and picked two notes, and the sound of Cong Cong flowed out from his fingertips, without raising his head, he asked: "What do you want to hear?"

Yuan Cuixiao looked at his slightly tilted side face, the outline was elegant and handsome; the hands resting on the piano were slender and white, like cold jade.In my heart, I suddenly felt a kind of local tyrant feeling that the uncle will reserve the venue today, and the beautiful woman will come to play.

"Yeah. That..." Yuan Cuixiao was stunned: Are there any songs on the guqin?The Hong Kong and Taiwan dramas that I wanted to catch up with for a long time, I finally remembered a very high appearance rate.

That's it!Yuan Cuixiao clapped her hands and said proudly, "Feng Qiuhuang!"

Shen Zhongyuan's whole body froze, and there was a trace of regret in his heart: If I knew this, I should have left with Zhihua and Ai Hu, and went to Xiangyang alone, it was a bit careless...

"Can master play?" Yuan Cuixiao covered most of her gloating smile with a handkerchief.

Shen Zhongyuan glanced at her in embarrassment, but with this glance, he could clearly see the sky blue handkerchief in her hand, and his face turned red.

Yuan Cuixiao took advantage of the victory and chased after him: "Master is getting closer to the incense burner, and his face is flushed."

Shen Zhongyuan looked around and said to him: "Xia Chan hasn't come to make tea until now, do you want to go and have a look, little lady?"

Since you are pretending to be an empty city plan, you Zhuge, you can play the piano here with peace of mind. What are you thinking of helping the soldiers... Yuan Cuixiao got up and moved the incense burner farther away, smiling deeply: "I will finish drinking the Yuhua tea in the garden before Yes, but Master calls for this drink by name, Xia Chan will have to go to the Guang Chu Bureau to find it, and it will take a long time."

Shen Zhongyuan lowered his eyes and let out a soft "oh".

"Master, do you think this fragrance is good?" Yuan Cuixiao casually asked as she turned the copper button on the furnace cover.

Shen Zhongyuan nodded, and said nothing if he could.

Yuan Cuixiao continued to ask: "Master, do you know the name of this fragrance?"

Shen Zhongyuan couldn't guess what she was trying to get out of, so he replied cautiously: "As a teacher, I am not good at incense and Dao, so I know very little about it."

Yuan Cuixiao sneered in her heart: "Nine Lions" Gan Mao's disciple, "Meng Po Tang" Shen Meng's nephew, if you are not good at it, is there anyone who is good at it... She went back to the chair He leaned on the chair and said slowly: "Let me tell you. This fragrance is called Ruinao, which has the effect of calming the mind. It is mixed with castore incense, so it is very precious. The whole county palace is also Only my adoptive father has some. But his old man disliked me for not being enlightened, so he gave me all this fragrance to refresh my mind." She looked at the silent Shen Zhongyuan, and said meaningfully, "Students have been influenced by this strange fragrance for a long time. , I feel that my mind is quite bright. I don’t know Master, what do you think?”

"It's very clever." Shen Zhongyuan smiled wryly, "Except for these, what else do you want to tell me?"

"Although this Ruinaoxiang smells mild, it is very long-lasting." Yuan Cuixiao pinched the two corners of the handkerchief and said while walking around, "And there is - my nose is smarter than my brain."

Shen Zhongyuan was seen through by her, seeing that she could no longer evade it, he simply said: "In this case, shouldn't you return the things to their original owners?"

"Zi said, a man and a woman can't kiss each other." Yuan Cuixiao stepped forward, and struck the center of the Yaoqin with a palm. Several strings were stressed, and there was a muffled clang, which made little Zhuge jump, and himself gritted his teeth in pain. He said, "You, you! Threatened me first, and humiliated me later! I asked you to play a song to apologize, and after a while, nothing happened!"

Shen Zhongyuan stared at her blankly, with a desolate look on his face that you teased me first, but now you bit me back.After a while, he said: "Move your hand away so that I can play."

Yuan Cuixiao stepped back rubbing her palms, sat back on the chair and said, "Start!"

The sound of Zhuxian sounds, and the sound of the piano is lingling, like a breeze passing over a hill, birds singing and insects singing; it is also like spring water jingling, flying flowers and jade.When the song reached the point of excitement, Yuan Cuixiao couldn't help thinking: Is this playing Feng Qiuhuang?Why does chirping sound like birds fighting...

At the end of the song, Xia Chan finally appeared at the door of the study, entered with a tea tray, and exclaimed, "What song did you play, sir? It's so beautiful."

Yuan Cuixiao interjected: "It's a phoenix..." The last two words were cut off by Shen Zhongyuan before he could say it out, "A hundred birds pay tribute to the phoenix."

The gray-headed parrot in front of the window was also stimulated by the sound of the piano, fluttering its wings in the cage.

Yuan Cuixiao looked at the bird, stood up, took a cup of tea from the tea tray, and said to Shen Zhongyuan, "Master."

Shen Zhongyuan was about to reach out to pick it up, but she lifted the tureen, took a sip slowly, and said teasingly: "You played the song "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix" so amazingly, Xiaohui almost burst out of the cage. "

"Shut up." Shen Zhongyuan lifted his sleeves to cover his mouth, and coughed twice.

Xia Chan quickly handed over another cup of tea, Shen Zhongyuan took it with thanks, took a sip and said, "I'll go and have a look."

When he approached, that little gray actually closed its wings, instead of jumping up and down, it suddenly called "Prince" several times, its voice was thin and thin, it looked like a woman.

Yuan Cuixiao laughed aloud: "This bird's eyesight is very poor." Putting down the tea bowl, he also walked to the window.

She picked up the brown brush, followed Zhao Jue's example, and scraped the bird's back twice. Xiaohui shook her feathers, her small mung bean eyes seemed to be staring at her, and she uttered a new sentence—"shun mother".This time the voice was thicker, and it sounded very sad.

"Shun... Mother? Shun Niang..." Yuan Cuixiao muttered, the name sounded familiar, but she couldn't remember where she saw it.

At that time, Xia Chan's voice sounded: "Sister Chunliu, why are you here?"

Yuan Cuixiao turned her head and looked towards the door, only to see Chunliu Yingying entering, and bowed to the two of them, "Chunliu met the young lady, Mr. Shen."

Yuan Cuixiao helped her up and said: "In the past few days, you have to work in the apse at night. If you don't rest during the day, don't get sick from being tired."

Chunliu blessed her body again and said: "Thank you little lady for remembering, maidservant is fine." He raised his eyes to look at the bird cage in front of the window, and said in a low voice, "About this bird, maidservant wants to remind young lady a few words, but I don’t know if it’s appropriate to say it.”

Yuan Cuixiao said curiously: "But it's okay to say."

Chunliu said slowly: "This grey-headed parrot was found by the lord from the market a few years ago and given to the wangfei to relieve boredom. The wangfei likes it very much and taught it to speak a lot of human words, and the voice is very lifelike. Since the wangfei Xianyou, all the things of his life, the prince ordered to be buried with him, but this bird, the prince has always stayed with him and raised it himself." Then, he looked at Yuan Cuixiao and said, "The prince and the princess love each other deeply. , the little lady is a righteous daughter, so she must be careful to avoid taboos."

After a flick of Chunliu, Yuan Cuixiao suddenly recalled the origin of "Shun Niang", and the lonely vermilion lacquer tablet on the side of the Buddhist hall seemed to pass by in front of her eyes.Zhao Jue, Yuan Shunniang, you and your wife are really affectionate, but why not my brother Ashin and sister-in-law Yunluo?Thinking of the two of them being killed by the King of Xiangyang in a foreign land, leaving only their young son in the world, Yuan Cuixiao's chest was filled with hatred and almost burst out.

Shen Zhongyuan looked at her with a bad complexion, his eyes were even redder, and one hand holding the window frame was bursting with veins, while the other hand was hidden in his sleeve and trembling slightly, and he hurriedly uttered a voice to cover her up: "Young lady, you are worried. I can't take care of it well, did you entrust it to Prince Fu?"

Yuan Cuixiao's eyelashes were covered with tears, she turned to him and said, "Master, explain."

Shen Zhongyuan took a step sideways, stood in front of her and said, "Little lady, you are too worried. Among the caged birds, parrots can be regarded as the most solid ones, and they will not be spoiled by you."

Yuan Cuixiao quickly wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said with her usual expression: "It couldn't be better."

"Then as a teacher, let's take the first step." Shen Zhongyuan's eyes slowly moved from her to the outside of the room, "There are "The Analects of Confucius" and "Zuo Zhuan" on the desk, and the young lady can take a look at it when she has time."

Yuan Cuixiao nodded: "Master, please." After Shen Zhongyuan stepped out of the room, Fang followed and said, "Students send one off to Master."

The two were tacit all the way.Walking to the end of the corridor, Shen Zhongyuan looked around and said, "You are not Yuan Cuixiao."

"Oh?" She said without much surprise, "How did Master see it?"

Shen Zhongyuan looked at her with his hands behind his back, his eyes full of inquiry: "Because the real Yuan Cuixiao has been killed."

It really deserves the name of a dead person... She couldn't help shivering: "Then...how did you know about this?"

Shen Zhongyuan said in a low voice: "Yuan Cuixiao originally practiced Taoism in Luofu Mountain, and Luofu Mountain is located on the border of Huizhou on Guangnan East Road. It is said that after the princess was buried, she returned to the mountain to continue her practice. But she did not go south, but went to Heilang Mountain in the opposite direction. That road is often haunted by bandits, and it is the only way to the capital."

"Yuan Cuixiao" turned pale, and murmured: "What is she doing there?"

"I'm afraid that only she and the person who killed her know about this." Shen Zhongyuan glanced at her worriedly, and continued, "According to the information I have found, the one who did it should be the "Golden Face God" who is known as the "Golden Face God" by people in the Jianghu. Lan Xiao, he has secretly guarded Heilang Mountain for your adoptive father for a long time."

Yuan Cuixiao is the niece of the concubine, and this Lan Xiao is a subordinate of the King of Xiangyang. If he wants to kill the family members of the palace but not be held accountable, the only possibility is to be ordered by Zhao Jue... What did she do? What caused Zhao Jue to put Yuan Shunniang to death regardless of Yuan Shunniang's affection... Thinking of this, I couldn't help being a little frightened: "I'm a fake, I won't be 'clicked' by him someday. .”

Shen Zhongyuan shook his head resolutely: "Probably not for the time being. He really wanted to harm you, but he has already done so, so why bother to make a big circle and accept you as a righteous daughter."

Recalling the previous events, 'Yuan Cuixiao' said with a sad face: "Maybe he thinks killing me all at once is too cheap for me."

Shen Zhongyuan laughed dumbfounded: "How did you offend him?"

"Hey, it's a long story." Yuan Cuixiao thought to himself: This Liangzi was not married when he played the first horse Chaoxian. If it weren't for your group of heroes who came up with the black trick of stealing the crown and falsely accusing us, we would have been tricked to this point. How far... She glanced at Shen Zhongyuan resentfully, sighed and said, "It's fine if you don't say anything."
