Dawei Fanghua

Rao Dashan has been in Luoyang for several days.At this moment, he had just returned from the farmland on the south bank of the Luo River. This matter was not told by Erlang, but he had been used to dealing with the farmers attached to the manor for many years and was familiar with this kind of thing, so he couldn't help but take a look around.

The yard was empty, except for Rao Dashan himself, and there was only one horse.I remember that there were always people in this courtyard before, but now it seems deserted, which makes Rao Dashan feel a little uncomfortable. He still likes to be lively.

Rao Dashan sat on the eaves for a while, thinking about what he wanted to do again.I'm sure it's done, now I just need to wait for news.

So he got up and went to feed the horse, talking to the horse while feeding.This kind of animal understands human nature. When you talk to it, it sometimes seems to understand, and it will open its mouth and let out a "giggle" laugh.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the courtyard.Rao Dashan dropped the feed, wiped his hands on his clothes a few times, and hurried to open the door to the yard.

The person coming is Chen An.Rao Dashan quickly opened the door and said, "Mr. Chen, please come inside."

Chen An looked around and followed Rao Dashan through the door.When he arrived at the upper room, he was invited to sit on the upper bed.Rao Dashan said again: "I'm going to make some tea."

"There is no need to be busy." Chen An said, "I will leave as soon as I finish speaking. As long as you have that intention, you don't need to care too much about the customs. Mr. Qin also understands who I am."

Rao Dashan stood there.

Chen Andao: "Wang Gongyuan said that we can discuss the marriage. Next, the elders of Qin Zhongming's family will come to the house with gifts to discuss this matter. Are Zhongming's parents here?"

Rao Dashan shook his head and said: "My parents are no longer here, but I have an eldest brother and sister-in-law."

Chen An nodded and said: "That's okay, elder brothers are like fathers. Bring the news to Zhong Ming's elder brothers and ask them to prepare gifts. This time the gifts don't need to be too much, they are not betrothal gifts. If you need anything, you can come to me again. Negotiate.”

Rao Dashan scratched his forehead and said, "How about Chen Jun write me a letter?"

Chen An said, "Why bother? If you bring the message, Zhong Mingzhi's eldest brother will definitely know what to do." After saying that, he got up from the bed, picked up his robe and went out.

The two of them walked into the yard one after another. Chen An looked back at the empty house again and turned around and said, "The general has decided to summon Zhongming back to the capital. It will be lively here in a while."

After hearing this, Rao Dashan immediately nodded and responded: "Yes, I also like to be lively."

...Wang Guang seemed to be in a good mood these two days. He personally trained the singers at home and let them perform in the pavilion in the courtyard.

Many singers lived in the houses around this courtyard, and the residence of Bai and Wang Xuanji was also located in this courtyard.Therefore, Wang Xuanji can hear whatever the singers sing if she wants to.

Only the courtyard at the back is quiet. Where Wang Cen lives, ordinary people are not allowed to enter, especially these domestic Kabuki and dancers, who are absolutely not allowed to set foot.Wang Xuanji can go there from time to time.The place is very spacious, with many houses and attics. However, there are usually only two maids and Wang Cen, a total of three people living there, because Wang Cen likes to be quiet.

Granddaughters are indeed different.

Wang Xuanji stood outside the pavilion watching the singing and dancing.I heard that Qin Zhongming adapted the tune from ancient Yuefu tunes, but his eldest brother Wang Gongyuan is indeed good at music. After his teaching, these singers sang very well, and the new dances also fit the tune very well.

The melodious singing and the sound of strings echoed in the antique pavilions, and the dancer's long sleeves waved freely, as if she was recounting the ups and downs of passion.

Wang Xuanji just watched and listened expressionlessly.In such an elegant environment surrounded by beautiful colors, fragrances and music, she felt that all of this was very absurd and absurd!

However, she has already developed a skill, that is, when she cannot bear a certain feeling, she can enter a state of semi-sleep numbness, and outsiders cannot see her mood at all.

For example, when her mother, Bai, kept reminding her and speaking harshly, she could enter this kind of semi-sleep when she lifted the quilt and forced her to listen.Or when the various quarrels in the courtyard made her very upset, she could still be in that state.Maybe it was developed slowly, or maybe it was just an adaptation reaction.

However, when the singer sang the phrase "The frost is so sad and the mat is cold," her enunciation suddenly became heavier, and the dancing girl's movements of throwing out her long sleeves were particularly vigorous.Wang Xuanji was also aroused, as if she was startled, and shook her shoulders slightly. The moist yellow fabric on her upper body, which was a bit thin in the hot summer, also trembled, like the water of the pool next to it in the wind. posture. Wang Xuanji, who was "sleeping", seemed to be suddenly awakened.

She no longer wanted to listen to this piece of music anymore, so she turned around and left quietly, walked through a corridor and came to her room.

Not long after she lay down on her side, she felt someone pinch her shoulder.Wang Xuanji was pulled over without any resistance, from lying on her side to lying on her back. Sure enough, her mother Bai's face appeared in front of her eyes. The heavy feeling on her body also changed with the change of lying position, as if it naturally spread out to the surroundings. , I feel a little more relaxed.Bai Shi also moved her face closer to look at Wang Xuanji's eyes carefully.

Nothing could be seen on Wang Xuanji's face.

Bai Shi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I don't know what Wang Gongyuan likes about him." Wang Xuanji made a sneer-like sound from between her white teeth, "Let's take a look at father's report. The front hall There is. Forget it, you can’t understand it anyway.”

Bai Shi suddenly became unhappy and said: "Why do you always hear such a nice thing when you say it? Oh, are you complaining that I am blocking the way?"

Wang Xuanji remained silent and thought to herself: Shouldn't I speak so harshly?

But it was only because he was stupid and couldn't understand why I was angry.If it's for no reason, I won't say a kind word?Just like what she said in the market, she would return the things to you tomorrow. Wasn't it because she couldn't find a reason to blame him that she would inexplicably keep entangled with a piece of silk?

Then she thought about it, and it seemed that she couldn't blame anyone else entirely.We barely know each other. To choke others with our first words seems to be a bit too much. It is very easy for others to misunderstand and mistakenly think that we are disgusted.

Wang Xuanji couldn't help but think: Should she be more bold and proactive?But what do you want to do now?
From beginning to end, I was singing the song alone.

Wang Xuanji turned over again and lay on her side facing the wall, thinking: Forget it, that's it, that's it. We've only met each other twice anyway, what can't we let go of?
Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned over, she was pulled back again.She could only continue to lie on the couch innocently, looking at Bai Shi speechlessly.

Bai looked at her face and said, "You don't like the man you told me about last time?"

Wang Xuanji remained silent.

Bai seemed to feel a little bored, so she looked at Wang Xuanji's face and eyes again, and finally let her go.Wang Xuanji never cried at all. What can you tell?

Wang Xuanji turned over and faced the wall again. When she heard the "squeak" of the door closing, she let out a long sigh.

I don't know how long it took, but Wang Xuanji didn't fall asleep, so she got up from the couch, put on her shoes and went out.After a while, she walked slowly along a corridor and came to a gatehouse. She stepped forward and pushed gently, and the door opened.

The inner courtyard is located inside the mansion. Because there are only two maids left, it is usually neither barred nor guarded, but usually no one dares to enter.Wang Xuanji and Lingjun are similar in age, just a few months apart. Wang Xuanji is older but slightly younger, so they can get along well.If Wang Xuanji comes here, she won't be scolded.

A wall separated the inside and outside, and the sound of strings and singing outside was immediately lost.After a while, Wang Xuanji met a maid. The maid said that the girl was in the attic, so Wang Xuanji went straight to the attic.

The things that her eldest brother Wang Guang talked about in the past two days seemed to have nothing to do with Wang Lingjun. She didn't care about anything and was still in the mood to copy the text here.

"Auntie." Lingjun put down his brush, knelt down on the mat and slowly leaned over to salute.

Wang Xuanji also returned the gift, then knelt down beside her, turned her head to look at what Ling Jun had copied, and asked, "Is it useful to copy this?"

"It's useful." Ling Jun's voice was very clear and his words were very gentle. Anyway, Wang Xuanji had never heard her say anything unpleasant.After a while, Lingjun looked up and asked softly, "Can I copy?"

Wang Xuanji shook her head and said: "I don't need to copy documents, there are ways to relieve my boredom."

Lingjun asked softly in a casual tone: "What can we do?"

Wang Xuanji didn't say a word, feeling that she couldn't explain clearly.The situation is different, and the natural habits are also different. What is there to say?Lingjun didn't hear the answer and didn't persist in asking. The two fell silent.

Lingjun always seemed to have something on his mind, but Wang Xuanji never asked. This was probably because Lingjun was getting along well with her.They chatted from time to time, and sometimes they just sat and didn't talk. The attic was extremely quiet.

Staying alone in such a quiet place, Wang Xuanji felt that she would not be upset if she didn't copy the text.

Wang Xuanji looked at Ling Jun silently. When her eyes rested on Ling Jun's face, she really seemed to see a fairy, exceptionally beautiful and pure.But when Wang Xuanji saw her figure and glanced at the silk fabric on her breast, she suddenly felt that her fate was over.Ling Jun sat on his knees and stretched up the loose and elegant skirt. The folds of fabric on the top of the skirt and the curve of the outline looked no lighter than Wang Xuanji's figure.But your legs are long, so you look slim and graceful.

"What are you looking at?" Ling Jun asked a little embarrassed.

Wang Xuanji chuckled, shook her head and said nothing, but looked away and looked out the window.

Your Majesty was still like that. Seeing that others were unwilling to answer, he stopped asking any more questions.It was quiet again in the attic, and you could hear the wind blowing through the lush treetops outside.
