Chapter 5 Chapter 5, Jianglan Mountain's First Confidence

On the second day, Feng Chenxue woke up very early. When she opened her eyes, it was very dark. Kong Zhao beside her was sleeping soundly.Not far away, Chunyu brother and sister were also wrapped in blankets and fell asleep, but Qiu Yiting had already got up and turned his head for a while, and saw him standing on the side of the mountain, the morning breeze was blowing the clothes, and in the dim sky, his back still looked like Yuan stopped Yue Zhi. This person is very similar to what she learned in Weiyuan Hou's mansion, but also somewhat different.Walking into the side of the mountain, she stood quietly behind him. When the morning breeze blew by with the freshness of the grass and trees, she gently asked the words that had been in her heart for a long time: "Fifteen years of war, Are you tireless?"

Qiu Yiting was stunned for a moment, turned around and looked at Feng Chenxue who was close at hand. In the dim sky, her eyes were as bright as stars.For a moment, he thought of the sudden look back under the pear tree, and the glimpse of the galloping horse, all because of these eyes. "No," he replied.In fact, with their current relationship, Feng Chenxue's question seemed a bit condescending, but he was not unhappy in his heart, and felt that it was only natural for her to ask something that no one had asked before.But at the moment of answering, she suddenly remembered, how did she know that he had been in the army for fifteen years?Many people felt that he held a high position at a young age, but no one thought that he spent most of his life in a desolate border town, fighting bloody battles in the shadow of swords and swords.

Feng Chenxue's eyes looked at the horizon, there was already a ray of red faintly, the sun was about to rise. She has traveled to many places in the past few years, and has also been to border towns, and in the places where Qiu Yiting's footprints are left, she will always hear some stories about him. When the people mention him, they will always be full of admiration. It is to praise him that he is as clear as the sun.It is true that he is young and handsome, with outstanding martial arts, deeply favored by the emperor, and he is indeed as radiant as a bright sun in the sky.But just like the rising sun in front of you, it rises from the darkness of dawn, and it also has its sunset time.

"Even if you can't be filial to your parents, you can't stay together as a husband and wife, and you can't have a happy relationship with your children?" She looked at the red sun that was gradually revealing in the sky. Qiu Yiting paused for a moment, and after a moment of silence, said: "Just like a girl likes to travel around the world, I also have my ambition." Feng Chenxue couldn't help turning her head to look at him when she heard the words. Qiu Yiting turned around and looked at the side of the peak with his hands behind his back, where there was already half a round of red sun.

"My father is a famous military general. Under his influence since I was a child, what I yearn for is 'golden and iron horses, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger'. I live my life not only to live, but also to do great things, to benefit the country and the people , To future generations have the merits of the ages, so as to be worthy of being a human being. And this, for the girl, may be chasing fame, profit, killing and bloody, which is not advisable. But the girl enjoys enjoying the different scenery of the world, and feels that stepping It is meaningful to read all the wonders in the world all over the haze, and only those days are chic and comfortable, but for me, it is really a waste of time and time wasting life.”

Feng Chenxue was silent for a moment, and then said softly, "'You are not a fish, but how can you know the joy of a fish', you mean that everyone has his own ambitions." Qiu Yiting nodded slightly, and said: "As the ancestors said, 'Loyalty and filial piety cannot be both', but in life, there is always something to give and something to gain." Speaking of this voice also brought regret, "I can't be filial to my parents Before the body, and the girl is also going to the country to divorce her relatives." Feng Chenxue was silent. The two of them didn't talk for a while, they just quietly watched the rising sun by the peak, the faint dark red gradually turned into red red, and the flowing clouds in the sky were slowly stained with rouge. A round of red sun jumps to the top of the peak and hangs high in the sky. In an instant, the sky and the earth are wide and bright, the sun is shining, and everything is shining.

"One round goes up to the sky in an instant, chasing away the stars and the waning moon." Feng Chenxue softly groaned. Qiu Yiting listened to his heart, and the situation was as poetic as it was. But then Feng Chenxue sighed slightly, "Is Shanyou after Gulu?" Qiu Yiting was startled, and suddenly turned to look at her. Feng Chenxue just looked at the morning sun in the sky, looked at the crimson clouds in the sky, her ordinary face was still ordinary, but under the reflection of the sun's rays, those cold eyes glowed with a beautiful brilliance, shining like gems.

At that moment, he was mesmerized by those eyes. At that moment, he was in a daze, why did he and her stand here?Who is she?Why would she know? A round instantly goes up to the sky, chasing away the stars and the waning moon! In the whole world, he and His Majesty are the only ones who think this way!But why did she know?She has seen it just from his trip? Feng Chenxue didn't know the turmoil in his heart, she just talked about her thoughts and doubts. "Throughout history, there is always separation and reunification, and there has never been a permanent unification of the world. Even if you forcefully collect all the countries today, in the next few years or decades, or hundreds of years, there will be another division. Perhaps, later generations will judge what you have done today, but only in the name of 'devouring'."

Qiu Yiting looked away, and fell towards the morning sun surrounded by clouds and clouds in the sky, calmed down his thoughts, pondered for a long time, and then said: "Listening to what the girl said last night, I know that the girl is familiar with history books, and naturally knows the different experiences of the East and Huang Dynasties. How much intrusion and coercion from Fang’s subordinate country, how much blood the people and soldiers in the border towns slipped through, and how many families were destroyed are even more incalculable.” Feng Chenxue couldn't help but let out a long sigh when he thought of the tragic past that was written down by those historians in the history books.

Qiu Yiting clenched her hands behind her back slightly, and said: "The three dynasties of Emperor Zhaoxi, Emperor Yanzhi, and Emperor Zhaowu were the most powerful in our dynasty. The battle for heaven and iron cavalry ruled the world, and the six generals of the dynasty were invincible. Even at that time, the surrounding small countries still invaded the borders from time to time, killed people and robbed property. Our dynasty often only sent troops to expel or obey the crusade orders, but we committed repeated crimes. Especially in the Huicheng and Renrui dynasties, the two former emperors With benevolence in mind, he does not want military reforms to cause disasters. Not only does he exempt the vassal states from the annual tribute, but he also bestows countless money and silk every year. But even so, the surrounding vassal states still invade the border towns from time to time, just to get more money. It failed to bring peace to the people in the border towns, but left the treasury empty, the soldiers scattered, and our great country lost all humiliation and admiration."

Feng Chenxue listened quietly, although Qiu Yiting's voice was calm, she could still hear the trace of unwillingness and anger. "It wasn't until His Majesty came to the throne today that he changed the face of the previous dynasty. Since King Anyu was named 'General Tiance' to command the world's soldiers and horses, he has always pursued and attacked the border countries. The arrogance of some small countries. After 20 years of childbirth, today's treasury is full of soldiers and brave." Qiu Yiting sighed softly, looked up at the sun, with admiration on his face, "Your Majesty today is My lord of sages, I was born here, and I am fortunate to be reused, and I should assist the king to show his grand plans." The light of the morning sun was already a bit dazzling, Feng Chenxue narrowed her eyes slightly, thinking about the grand plan he talked about, that is... "Sweep across the heaven and earth, the tiger's eyes are majestic." She moved her eyes to Qiuyi Pavilion. Qiu Yiting nodded and smiled, "Whether they are strong or weak, all the vassal states always take a peek at the fertile soil of my dynasty. If this is the case, then it is not as if our dynasty is the only country in the Central Plains. From then on, from Dongming in the east to the desert in the west, With the snow-capped mountains in the north and the green cliffs in the south, no matter how invincible we are in the boundless city, there will always be peace at that moment." Feng Chenxue's eyes still fell on him, she neither nodded happily nor frowned to refute, she just looked at him quietly, and after a while she said lightly, "People never agree in the world, even if there is only one country in the world , and there will be a day of division." Qiu Yiting didn't retort when she heard it, she just said: "It's true as the girl said just now, there is no permanent peace in the world, but there is always some, the shortest is tens of years, the longest is hundreds of years, there is always such a period of peace As for whether the future generations will be divided or not, how will the future generations evaluate what I have done today..." He paused slightly when he said this, and then said with a calm expression: "The things of the future generations are free. People don't care. I only do what I see, what I think, and what I can do. A man, no regrets in words, no regrets in deeds." Feng Chenxue's heart moved, and he looked at Qiu Yiting's eyes, those eyes were so bright and brilliant since they met, always with such firm belief, the hesitation and fear of ordinary people seemed to never exist in his heart. She suddenly understood, "You want to be the unfinished grand plan and hegemony of Emperor Shidi and Emperor Zhaoxi!" In an instant, a wave of emotion surged in her chest, mixed with many feelings, which were indescribable. She blurted out: "Let's become a man today, don't look forward to what will happen in a hundred years." Qiu Yiting's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly looked back at her, why could she always understand what he was thinking?Under the morning sun, this woman's plain clothes were fluttering and cold as before, as if thousands of years had passed, she would always be so clean and independent from the world.At that moment, something seemed to blow over my heart, and it was as gentle as the wind and water. He smiled at her, showing off her beauty like the sun, "Listening to Qing's words, I can be a confidant." Hearing this, Feng Chenxue suddenly had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, both sour and sweet, but in the end he just sighed softly from the bottom of his heart.With that sigh, the original incomprehension towards Qiu Yiting disappeared.It turned out that he was like this, so no matter who married him back then, he had the same result.He is neither ruthless nor intentionally procrastinating the marriage. He is just a family of children, which is not enough to compare with the great cause of the country. Things in the world are always so wonderful, but also so impermanent. He has been involved with her for more than ten years, and finally they are strangers. But she never thought that she would have some acquaintance with him on the top of Jianglan Mountain. And he didn't know that the person beside him at this moment was once his wife. The sun was bright and bright in front of him, and he was standing side by side with her, and their clothes were connected by the morning breeze. "What a pity, it would have been three years ago..." Kong Zhao stood up and saw such a scene, couldn't help sighing. Chunyu brothers and sisters were yawning and never heard that sentence, but the two people on the side of the mountain were both powerful people, so they could hear it clearly. Feng Chenxue was calm and composed, as if she had never heard it, but Qiu Yiting remained motionless, but doubts arose in her heart. After a few people washed up and had a hasty breakfast, they packed their bags and prepared to go down the mountain. Qiu Yiting picked up a piece of felt on the ground, and couldn't help being startled when his eyes swept over it. "'A general is the soul of an army. A strong general is a brave soldier.'" Chunyu Shenxiu who was beside him read, "The words of King Feng really make sense." "En." Qiu Yiting nodded, still looking at the line of writing on the ground.The handwriting looked familiar, but where did he read it? It took half a day for the five people to go down the mountain to arrive at Jiangcheng. It has been half a month since they have been traveling on the Qiuyi Pavilion Road, and it is difficult to get to this big city.Everyone nodded in agreement, so they found an inn in Jiangcheng to stay.Because of the dust all the way, the few people didn't go out for a walk that afternoon, they all stayed in the inn, ordered the clerk to bring hot water, washed them from head to toe, had dinner together in the evening, and chatted for a while, They all went back to their rooms early to rest. When asking for a room, Kong Zhao asked to share a room with his sister, so Qiu Yiting only needed four upper rooms. After Kong Zhao and Feng Chenxue returned to their room, they were not sleepy for a while, Feng Chenxue read a book under the lamp, and Kong Zhao used the cloth bought on the road to sew a set of Shanyou summer clothes for Feng Chenxue. "Sister, I remember that you once told me when you were in the waiting mansion that the son-in-law is a proud, arrogant and ambitious person." Kong Zhao asked while flying needles, "But the past few months on the same road , how do I think he is a gentle and modest person, and if he is ambitious, he would not have time to travel with us." Feng Chenxue chuckled lightly when she heard the words, looked away from the book and glanced at Kong Zhao, then continued to read the book while saying: "You only see the surface, people from Qiu Yiting's background, no matter who they are against He will be polite and courteous. Besides, if he is so mad at everyone, how can he be the general of Jingyan, how can he be strong in the court." "Huh?" Kong Zhao stopped his needle and thread and looked up at her. "You have also lived in the prince's mansion and the marquis' mansion. Naturally, you know that even though you are relatives in a mansion, you can't help but have their own thoughts and intrigues. What's more, in a country, there are emperors and princes, and there are princes and ministers. It is a fuel-efficient lamp, if Qiu Yiting speaks, he must be arrogant and act without restraint, no matter how big the imperial court is, no one can tolerate him." Feng Chenxue turned the pages of the book and said. "Oh." Kong Zhao understood, bowed his head and continued to sew, "Sister, what kind of person do you think he is now?" Feng Chenxue stopped turning the pages of the book, and for some reason, she instantly remembered the silver-clothed boy she saw in the Anyu Palace across the corridor under the trees when he was seven years old. Just because he was young at that time, he could be frivolous and unruly. "It's not much different from before." She stroked the scroll with her fingertips, and answered a little casually, but the expression in her eyes was a little melancholy, "A talented general with keen eyesight, decisive actions, and great ambitions. But..." She paused for a moment and then smiled, "His arrogance is already hidden in his bones, and ordinary people can't see it." Hearing this, Kong Zhao raised his head, glanced at it quietly, moved his lips, and finally didn't dare to ask "Will you like him?" Then the room returned to silence, except for the occasional soft sound of Feng Chenxue turning the pages of the book and the sound of the cloth shaking in Kong Zhao's hand. When the sound of changing came from outside the window, Kong Zhao also got up and shook the summer clothes in his hands. "It's finally over, sister, you can wear it and go out for a walk tomorrow, and people on the street will never recognize that it wasn't made by Shanyou." Feng Chenxue smiled. "It's not as good as you even if you meet someone in the mountains." "Of course." Kong Zhao smiled brightly. "It's past the second watch, it's time to sleep." Feng Chenxue closed the book in his hand. "En." Kong Zhao folded the clothes and put them on the low stool beside the bed. The two went to bed with the lamp blowing out, and the room was dark and silent. About two quarters of an hour, Feng Chenxue on the bed suddenly opened his eyes, listened intently, then put on his clothes quietly and got up, quietly floated to the window, slightly opened a crack in the window, and saw a black shadow fly It passed by, jumped onto the roof of the opposite street in an instant, and disappeared in a few steps. really. A smile curled up on Feng Chenxue's lips.There is indeed a purpose for Qiuyi Pavilion to stay in this city.She hesitated for a moment, and finally just closed the window and door, lay back on the bed and fell asleep. The night passed safely. On the second day, after several people had breakfast together, Kong Zhao grabbed one with each hand, and dragged Chunyu brothers and sisters out together to buy food materials and items needed for the road.The reason is that the two can speak Shanyou dialect and are strong enough to carry a lot of things.For the two people left behind, Feng Chenxue went back to her room to read a book, while Qiu Yiting said to go for a walk around the city. Feng Chenxue got tired of reading in the room for a while, heard the laughter of people on the street, got up and went to the window, opened the window and looked, only to see that the sun was shining brightly outside, with red flowers, willows and greenery Xianyan couldn't help thinking of going out for a stroll.Thinking about it this way, he threw away the scroll and went out. She was walking alone on the street, looking at the shops on the side of the road, looking at the goods on the stalls, and looking at the pedestrians nearby and far away, and it was a joy to watch.Strolling casually, when I turned a street, I saw Qiuyi Pavilion under a corner of the street. The majestic General Jingyan of the Imperial Dynasty was squatting on the ground disregarding his appearance and talking to a ragged old man Shanyou.The old man gesticulated and spoke frantically, presumably the conversation was in full swing, while Qiu Yiting listened intently, nodding and smiling from time to time, which made the old man speak even more vigorously. Feng Chenxue found it interesting, so he chose a secluded place across the street to stand, and watched the old and the young chatting across the street.Today she is wearing a set of summer clothes with a white background and a light green linden edge that Kong Zhao sewed last night. On the skirt and cuffs, Kong Zhao has finely embroidered the light pink cherry blossoms that Shanyou people like most. The sleeves and skirt are long. Hanging down, her waist tied, her slender figure is inched. From a distance, she looks like a jade tree, but those who look closely feel that the girl's complexion is too ordinary. When Qiu Yiting got up to say goodbye to the old man, an hour had passed. "The girl's patience would be best used in an ambush in the army." Qiu Yiting walked over with a smile.Of course he had discovered Feng Chenxue a long time ago, but he didn't expect that she would watch them from across the street for an hour. "You are also very different from ordinary generals." Feng Chenxue smiled lightly. "It's rare that the old man knows how to speak the imperial dialect." Qiu Yiting said, "I always like to chat with old people or veterans. They may not have the talent or knowledge of the art of war, but the decades of life experience of the old people is learned from books. However, those veterans’ decades of experience in bloody battles are often more reliable than the art of war, sometimes comparable to tens of thousands of troops.” Feng Chenxue nodded slightly, "There is indeed some reason for you to be undefeated." Qiu Yiting smiled. Now that they met, the two went together and wandered around Jiangcheng in Shanyou. Feng Chenxue casually looked at the streets on both sides, her eyes would glance at the gorgeous silks and satins or the exquisite and precious jewels in the shops from time to time, and she would often glance at the novelty and cheap goods at the street stalls, but she didn't buy anything Meaning, always take a look at the goods on the stall or two at a distance of two or three steps, and then move your eyes and walk away without a trace of remembrance. And Qiu Yiting walked forward calmly with his hands behind his back.Although he had learned about Xueduo Jiangcheng's situation from the old man who didn't know it just now, he didn't think about those cities and formations, nor did he think about Jiangcheng's defenders, terrain or The attack strategy and so on, on the contrary, it is relaxed and calm, and it really has a leisurely look that has stolen half a day of leisure.This is a very rare thing, but he likes the feeling at this moment. Although he is in the crowd, it seems that he and her are walking leisurely. It is so quiet, peaceful, and at ease. It seems that it is not bad to just go on like this... Thoughts Just now, he was startled. Looking sideways at Feng Chenxue, who was looking at herself, she slightly drew her sword eyebrows together, then moved her eyes forward, opened her eyebrows and continued to wander, but the comfort was no longer in her eyes. The two walked casually and then came to another street. There were very few people on this street, and most of the houses on both sides were closed, but there were many willows and apricots planted on the side. Chen Xue wanted to take a rest after wandering around for so long, seeing the tranquility here, she naturally liked it. After walking for a while, Qiu Yiting finally discovered the unusualness of this street, but seeing Feng Chenxue's satisfied face, she didn't point it out, thinking about walking through this street. Suddenly, a zither sound came, which was particularly clear in this empty street, Feng Chenxue stopped immediately, listened intently for a while, then followed the sound, Qiu Yiting followed, and walked for a while , The two found the source of the piano sound. "Xie Fang Lou." Feng Chenxue raised his head and saw the large characters of vermilion powder on the plaque. "Are you going in?" Qiu Yiting looked at the vermilion building in front of her, raising her brows high. Feng Chenxue glanced at him sideways, "Why not?" As he said that, he stretched out his hand to push the door open, "I like the sound of this person's piano." "This is a brothel, you are a girl..." Qiu Yiting hurried to stop her. Feng Chenxue easily avoided his hand with a twist of her wrist, and with a creak, the door of the building opened wide, and she also stepped in. The sound of the door opening startled the people in the building. In the building, a rather charming woman in her thirties was drinking and chatting with two young men at the table, when she was surprised to see a man and a woman enter the door.After being stunned for a moment, the three got up and walked to the two of them. The woman sized up the two of them, then fixed her eyes on Feng Chenxue, looked up and down carefully, then shook her head, saying There was a quick series of chattering. Feng Chenxue and Qiu Yiting didn't understand Shanyou's language, and the woman spoke quickly, so they didn't understand what the woman said for a while. The two men behind the woman waited for the woman to finish speaking, seeing that the two of them did not respond, they couldn't help repeating loudly, looking at Feng Chenxue, with a somewhat obscene and contemptuous smile on their faces, they kept shaking their heads. This time, Feng Chenxue and Qiu Yiting understood a few words. "...not good-looking...guests...don't like it..." The two looked at the expressions and movements of the woman and the waiter, and suddenly understood that the three thought that Feng Chenxue was going to sell herself into the building, but they disliked Feng Chenxue's unattractive appearance, so they didn't want to. Feng Chenxue had a mask on her face, she couldn't see the color, but her two long eyebrows were raised high instantly, and a bit of chill oozes from her bright eyes.But Qiu Yiting was neither smiling nor angry, holding back her face made her look very weird. Seeing that there was a difference in their expressions, the three of them sized up the two of them. They saw that their clothes were neat and tidy, their appearance did not look like poor people, and the handsome and noble man did not seem like a strongman who kidnapped a woman to sell. They immediately understood I might have misunderstood it just now, and wondered if it was a Xunfang guest.Thinking of it this way, the woman babbled again, she smiled when she looked at Qiu Yiting, and still shook her head when she looked at Feng Chenxue, the man behind her was already bowing down to salute Qiu Yiting. The two of them still didn't understand, but judging from the woman's mannerisms and a little guesswork, they probably meant that they were not doing business at this time, let alone business with female customers. Feng Chenxue thought for a while, then went to take out the money bag, but after touching it, she found that she didn't bring any money with her when she went out, so she turned her head to look at Qiu Yiting. When Qiu Yiting was caught by her, she naturally understood, just sighed helplessly, then took out a gold leaf from the purse and handed it to the woman. Seeing Jin Ye, the woman's eyes lit up a little, her smile widened a little, and she babbled at Qiuyi Pavilion again, while turning sideways to let the two of them in. Qiu Yiting didn't move, just waved his hands, and then looked at Feng Chenxue.To be honest, although he is not ignorant of the relationship between men and women, he has never set foot in Fireworks and Willow Lane, so he does not approve of Feng Chenxue's move.If you like to listen to the piano, you can ask a skilled musician to play it, so why set foot here as a woman.Therefore, there is both surprise in my heart and a trace of admiration that I can't understand.In this woman's indifferent temperament, there is also a self-willedness and freedom that ignores the world. Seeing that they were not moving, the woman could not help but silence, and looked at them very puzzled. At this moment, the sound of the zither still didn't stop, so Feng Chenxue pointed to the upstairs, then pointed to the ear, and then raised her hand to make a gesture of playing the zither. The woman suddenly realized that she quickly led the two upstairs, turned around two corridors, and stopped in front of a room. At this time, the sound of the piano was closer, and it was obvious that the person playing the piano in the room was the person they were looking for. "Dong dong dong," the woman knocked on the door, chattering again, then opened the door and invited the two of them in. When the door is opened, the sound of the piano also stops. The person sitting with his back in front of the piano table in the room got up and turned his head to face the two of them.It was a young woman in her twenties, with almond eyes and peach cheeks, willow eyebrows and black temples, very beautiful. The woman said a few words to the woman and left. The woman looked at the two with surprise in her eyes, and wondered why there were female customers in the brothel.He moved forward to salute the two, then stood up and looked at them, not knowing how to serve them. Once Qiu Yiting came, he settled down, walked to the side and sat down on the bamboo couch, obviously he didn't intend to pay attention, and left everything to Feng Chenxue. Seeing Qiu Yiting sit down, the woman hurriedly made two cups of tea, one cup was served to the low table in front of the bamboo couch, and then she turned around to offer the other cup to Feng Chenxue, only to find that the female guest had already arrived at the piano case Before I saw her pointing her fingertips, there was a ray of unvoiced sound, and I couldn't help being a little surprised.She is an expert, so she naturally knows that the timbre produced by the female guest's casual finger just now has revealed extraordinary piano skills. She moved to the front of the piano case and offered tea to Feng Chenxue. Feng Chenxue took the teacup, smiled at her, then glanced at Yaoqin. The woman understood, and immediately wiped her hands with a silk handkerchief, and then sat down in front of the piano table, twirled with her fingertips, and then slowly played a song. At the beginning, the sound of the piano was slow, and the melody was quite deep and depressing, revealing a kind of deep loneliness and sadness, but in the melancholy, it also showed a humble and far-sighted integrity. Although Qiu Yiting doesn't know the rhythm, but at this moment, he can't help being caught by the sound of the piano.As the sound of the piano became more and more depressed, the incidents of entering and leaving the military camp when he was young gradually emerged. At that time, he suffered a lot of suspicion and doubts due to his background and age. At that time, he was also confused and distressed. With the sound of the piano slowly pouring into my heart, along with the sound of the piano, the sadness poured out. Then, the sound of the piano slowly came out of the depression and gradually became clear, so his chest suddenly felt relieved, as if he was confident and joyful when he was praised by His Majesty in the Golden Palace, as if he was magnanimous and clear standing in front of thousands of troops. The mood in my heart gradually subsided with the slow sound of the piano, and suddenly the Lingtai was clear, quiet and distant. When the song ended, there was silence in the room.Those who play the piano sit still, and those who listen to the piano quietly meditate. After a long time, the woman stood up from the piano table, and when she raised her head, a line of words came into view. "Zhilan grows in a deep valley, not because there are no people but not fragrant. A gentleman cultivates morality and establishes virtue, and does not change his festival because of poverty." She raised her head abruptly, and saw Feng Chenxue standing in front of her, smiling and nodding at her.The two looked at each other for a long time, and then the woman smiled slightly.One is plain in plain clothes, the other is beautiful in Luo clothes, but the same thing is the appreciation in each other's eyes, the clarity and joy in the smiles. The woman moved forward, pointed at Yaoqin, and then smiled at Feng Chenxue. Feng Chenxue understood, moved to sit down in front of the piano table, slightly lowered her head and closed her eyes, then swiped down with her fingertips, making a voiceless sound around the room. Different from the previous woman's piano sound which was gloomy first and then clear, this one is extremely bright and smooth. When it's clear, it's like the sound of a blue stream, when it's crisp, it's like the larks crying in the morning, when it's fast, it's like spring rain, and when it's bright, it's like a bright moon shining in the sky. A kind of poetic and picturesque calm, elegant and leisurely. While Qiu Yiting listened to this song, what she remembered was the fun she had with Yan Yunsun and Qiu Yiyao when she was young.At that time, they were only a few years old. Today they went to cut flowers and weeds, and tomorrow they went to catch birds and fish. Today, the three of them wished they could become one. Tomorrow, maybe he would fight with Yan Yunsun, and they would roll in the mud together in the rain. At night, they catch fireflies together, and imitate the grown-ups to recite poems and paint with their heads held high, often only making ink on their clothes and faces... Listening to the sound of the piano, thinking about the past, the lips can't help overflowing with light and joy smile.At that time, it was really carefree and happy. At the end of the qin music, the wind is faint, but it seems lonely and distant, like the coolness after the rain has collected and the clouds have dispersed, and the silence of the night and the moon. At the end of the song, the woman also wrote a line and handed it to Feng Chenxue. "Empty mountains and fresh rain, bright moon and green pines, although the freehand brushwork is free, but the clear stream and the cold moon are even more serene and far-reaching." Feng Chenxue took it, looked up at the woman, then smiled slightly, got up and held the woman's hand, and walked to the table together.She took a pen and wrote the three characters "Feng Chenxue", and then handed it to the woman. The woman suddenly understood after taking it, her almond eyes revealed a bit of joy in an instant, and then she also took a pen and wrote the three characters "Xie Yifang". Feng Chenxue took it, nodded slightly, picked up a pen and added "Thanks to all the heroes, and the soul is also left behind" next to "Xie Yifang". "Ah!" The woman sighed happily, looked at Feng Chenxue with a smile, and remained silent for a long time. Feng Chenxue pointed to the woman's ink on the table, and then pointed to her own, the woman nodded happily, so Feng Chenxue folded the two pieces of paper the woman gave her and put them away.And the woman took another piece of white paper and spread it on the table, then looked at Feng Chenxue.Feng Chenxue understood, and once again took up the pen to write down the words "All the fragrances are grateful, and the fragrance soul is also left behind".The woman also solemnly accepted the three pieces of paper with Feng Chenxue's ink stains on them. On the bamboo couch, Qiu Yiting had been sitting upright and listening, seeing the two of them chatting with each other, she couldn't help but smile slightly, although she didn't know what they wrote, but just by looking at their expressions, they could tell that they admired each other. The white head is as new as before, and the cover is as old as before. He thought she was just listening to the piano, but he didn't expect her to make friends with a woman in the world. At this moment, he couldn't help but think of Yan Yunsun, the confidante who was in the capital of the emperor. Often go to brothels together.Just thinking about it like this made me feel absurd and funny, and then I thought of myself who accompanied her to the brothel... Before today, I never believed that Qiu Yiting would accompany a woman to the place of fireworks one day. However, going back to an hour ago, he would still travel with her, and he would still follow her into Xie Fanglou.It seemed that no one could go against her wishes. Seeing that they were quite speculative, I thought they would play a few more songs, but after exchanging words, Feng Chenxue said goodbye. Xie Yifang sent it outside the building in person, and when she parted, she and Feng Chenxue solemnly bid farewell for a week. From the beginning to the end, there was no conversation, but the instant communication on this day will surely be remembered by each other for a lifetime. The two of them left Xie Fanglou, and they decided to go back to the inn as they had no intention of going any further.When walking out of that street, Qiu Yiting suddenly asked: "What song did you play just now?" "Miss Xie played "You Lan", and I played "Bijian Qingquan"." Feng Chenxue replied. "I have listened to the qin music of the palace Chinese players before, but I feel that what I hear today is worthy of the national players." Qiu Yiting recalled the state of mind listening to the qin at that moment. The two walked side by side, there were still many pedestrians on the street, Feng Chenxue said lightly amidst all kinds of noisy voices: "There are different musical instruments in the world. The zither is the joy of pleasure, the xiao is the sound of expressing feelings, and only the qin It's the voice of a gentleman, and it's played for myself." She turned her head slightly, and glanced at Xie Fanglou, who was no longer in sight, "Miss Xie's feelings are like orchids, so the song "You Orchid" is so soul-stirring." "Oh." Qiu Yiting glanced at the street stalls casually, "I don't know the rhythm very well, if Yiyao is here, I can discuss it with you, he is very good at playing flute." Feng Chenxue stopped suddenly upon hearing that. Qiu Yiting looked back at her strangely, but saw her looking down at the ground. "how?" Feng Chenxue raised her eyes to look at him, her expression was very complicated, but before she could see it clearly, she had moved her eyes forward, "Yiyao..." It was just two words, but her heart was already surging. Yiyao... Yiyao... Yiyao... How is he now?Has his illness recovered?How about others? Yiyao... how are you doing now?you…… There are countless thoughts, almost blurted out, but unable to speak. For a while, there was a dull pain in his chest again, as if it lasted forever. "Isn't it because you called me Mr. Qiu that day because you knew I had a younger brother?" Qiu Yiting had a clear look in his eyes. Feng Chenxue held her breath, and then said calmly: "I heard about your brothers in the teahouse in the imperial capital that day, and they were full of praise for you, but it's a pity that your brother's health is not good." She turned her head, under the sun , his eyes are as quiet as water mirrors, but he can't see the end at a glance. "Is your brother's health still not good?" Qiu Yiting was silent. Seeing this, Feng Chenxue's heart suddenly hung high, but she lowered her head and lowered her eyes, not daring to look at Qiu Yiting's expression. "I heard that there is an elixir named Cangya Fengyi hidden in the palace of Shanyou Palace." After a long time, Qiu Yiting said suddenly, "The other purpose of my trip is to obtain this medicine. At that time, Yiyao's illness will naturally heal. gone." Cangya Phoenix Clothes... Feng Chenxue muttered silently in her heart, raised her head, and wiped away the sourness in her eyes.
