Changle Floating Life

Chapter 23

Pei Zhaoye left the palace in the evening.

The day of the Dragon Boat Festival is usually a rest day, but he is busy from morning till night.First, old relatives and nobles from the capital came to visit, and he had to return the gifts one by one. In the afternoon, there were rewards in the palace, and he had to kowtow to thank God. Finally, the domestic servants in his own house also had to take care of them.The case of the Princess Mansion has been settled, and the situation in Beijing and China has changed again, which makes him a little bit at a loss, fearing that he will make mistakes in coping.

After he had made all the arrangements, he recruited someone to change into a brocade robe embroidered with plum patterns in moon white.Pei Zhaoye's clothes are simple and simple, except for court clothes, he never wears embroidered clothes.The butler really went blind that day, and while he was tying the jade belt for him, he babbled: "The Crown Princess has been dead for a few years, Your Highness is only so old, why bother to wear so plain every day, and look a bit old-fashioned. Today's The dress is the one that is suave and not inferior to Pei Jialang's face."

For no reason, he came to mention the old things about the old man again, and Pei Zhaoye's face turned dark immediately.But seeing that he was the oldest and most senior in the mansion, he held back and didn't attack.At this time, someone came from outside the door to spread the word, saying that the servant of Zuo Fengmian's house came to thank him.Pei Zhaoye wondered: "Master Zuo, why didn't you come in person?" The man replied that Zuo Fengmian felt a little unwell today and couldn't go out.Pei Zhaoye then ordered his family members to pick up some precious medicinal materials and send them to Zuo Fu.The man went thankfully.

After he dressed up, he went out to the King Kong Bridge.Along the way, the smoked wind was blowing on the face, only to see the oily head and half of the arms of the young man in skirts and clogs, and the charming maidservant holding his shoulders and breasts, laughing and joking.There are ten miles of pearls beside the moat, winding fire dragons, and staggered slides of painting and pleasure boats, crushing the heart of waves.When he arrived at the King Kong Bridge, there was a lot of noise. Among the crowd, there was only one young man standing by the railing of the bridge, silently watching the river.

Pei Zhaoye called Ye Jianqing, and he really looked back, which reminded him of that well-used poem.

The distance between the two was only a few steps, but through the turbulent flow of people, they had to sweat a lot before crossing the bridge.Ye Jianqing saw that Pei Zhaoye was different from usual today, with a brocade robe and jade belt, dressed like a dandy prince with oily hair and pink face, his eyes were rather narrow-minded.Pei Zhaoye's face was embarrassed, and seeing Ye Jianqing's belt tied to the palace-made sachet he gave him, he felt very happy.

Xiangguo Temple is open on Friday every month, and all surnames are traded.A group of eminent monks, the abbot, gave alms of mung bean soup, realgar wine and wearing talismans outside the gate, and the returning master was also in the crowd.After Pei Zhaoye nodded to him and greeted him, he took Ye Jianqing inside.Three gates were built by imperial edict, and the forehead was given by the imperial book.There are rare birds and animals on the big three gates, and there are everything.In the courtyard, there is a charity shop with colorful screens and exposed houses, selling Puhe, mats, screen curtains, washing, saddles and bridles, bows and swords, seasonal fruits, dried preserved meat and so on. ("Tokyo Menghualu") The two walked around the stalls one by one, making random comments, and trying something interesting and delicious when they encountered it.

Ye Jianqing squatted down in front of a stall selling mahogany toys, picked up two strange things into his hands, and asked him, "What are these?" Pei Zhaoye bent down to look, and said, "This is a lianzhu crossbow, this is Rush the car. It's been a long time, and you don't know how to fight. You should not know." There was no trace of blame in his words, and Ye Jianqing lowered his eyelashes, not knowing what to say for a while.The stall owner speculated that Ye Jianqing was a rich man who was full of food all day long, so he laughed and said: "Since the Emperor Taizong's reign, the Great Wall has not been guarded against barbarians for thousands of miles, and it is not used for fighting. These gadgets are only used to amuse children."

Pei Zhaoye threw away a few copper coins and played with the two small pieces of woodwork in his hands.He looked up at the night sky while walking, and saw Sirius flickering in the west, so he sighed: "Look at this beauty, you can't be satisfied, once the fire, the prosperity will turn to ashes, and gradually fade into the mulberry elm." Although Ye Jianqing knew He felt that there must be a reason for what happened, but today he was in no mood to pursue it anyway.

The two wandered around until the moon was in the middle of the sky.Ye Jianqing was worried about Gu Su's affairs, so he presumed that he was tired, and Pei Zhaoye sent him back to the small house in Tianshui Lane, although he still had more to say.

Ye Jianqing waited for Granny Li, grandparents and grandson to sleep, and climbed up from the wall of the backyard.

In the opposite house, the little girl from Lanshan got up in the middle of the night to relieve herself, came out of the latrine, and when she looked up, she saw a figure flying down from the fence, which made her scream in horror.Ye Jianqing hastily stepped forward to cover her mouth, and whispered, "It's me, is the leader back?" Lan Shan's big eyes were fixed, and after watching him for half a stick of incense, he nodded like a soul .Ye Jianqing let go, clasped his palms together and apologized: "I'm sorry, I came to see my uncle for something. You go to sleep."

Gu Su was reading a book in the study at this time, wearing a middle coat and a half-worn robe, his hair was loose.Under the candlelight, there is a layer of golden light flowing on the brown hair.

As soon as Ye Jianqing entered the door, he asked impatiently, "Master, have you found Jiang Xilie?"

Gu Su looked up at him, but said nothing.

Ye Jianqing's heart sank: "Could it be that I misheard?" Gu Su then said: "You have practiced the mind method of free and unfettered travel for so long, if you can even mishear the voice of one or two servants, I should call How much ass do you need?"

Ye Jianqing was taken aback, and said: "Is it really him? Did he let him run away? I shouldn't have been impatient and scared him away by yelling." He was extremely annoyed for a moment.

Gu Su put down the scroll in his hand, flipped the wick with the silver hairpin, and the room became much brighter.I only heard him say: "When I caught up with the boat, there were only the bustard and the boatman on board. But I probably know who this person is. You come to the back door of the medicine shop tomorrow afternoon, and I will take you to find him."

Ye Jianqing was overjoyed, but impatiently asked: "Isn't it possible tomorrow morning? I can ask the shopkeeper for leave. I'm afraid I'll be late and he will run away again."

Gu Su said indifferently: "He can't run away. It's no better than Guibaozhuang, and it doesn't open until the afternoon."

Ye Jianqing just shut up, turned around to leave, but still kindly said: "Master, don't be so frugal on lamp oil. One more wick to read clearly, you are old, don't take it as presbyopia, then... ..."

Xiao Lanshan was lying in bed in a daze, and in the middle of the night, he suddenly heard a low roar of "rolling", and then a heavy object fell, and then the dog barked and the cat barked for a long time.She got up in the morning, walked to the door of the study, and saw that the door panel had fallen to the ground and was torn apart, and the wall of the backyard was a mess of grass, which had been chipped off for some reason.

In the afternoon of the next day, Ye Jianqing went to the back door of the pharmacy, and saw that the door was tightly closed, but no one answered when he knocked on the door.He was afraid that he would make the leader unhappy last night, so he released him today, so he turned around in a hurry on the ground.

Not far from the street was a Qibaoxiang cart, pulled by a vigorous green horse, and the groom was also wearing brand-new thick clothes.The bamboo curtain was raised lightly, Gu Su stretched out his head, and shouted at him: "What are you doing standing there, come up!"

The car is covered with fragrant and soft brocade mattresses, and incense is hung above the head.Gu Su was half lying down comfortably, but Ye Jianqing's hands and feet were cramped, and he didn't know where to put it.He took a peek at him, the leader and Nanshan Zhong were completely different.Sure enough, people want clothes and Buddhas want gold clothes.Ye Jianqing had to admit that the leader was good-looking and elegant, and even the self before his family broke down couldn't match the flair of the leader.That is the real bone of immortality, and it is incomparable to the moon of broken Yaotai and the ice of rotten jade pot.

Gu Su saw that he was silent after getting into the car, so he pointed to a package in the corner of the car and said, "You put that on." Ye Jianqing reached out to pick it up, opened it, and found it was a brocade robe and a leather belt , a pair of leather boots.He came out in a hurry today, still wearing the apprentice's jacket.

Where is this going?Ye Jianqing couldn't help wondering.Because he was nestled in the carriage and the carriage kept moving, the buckles of the leather belts could not be fastened properly.Gu Su asked him to move over, put his hands behind his back to clasp the hook.At this moment, the carriage jolted, Ye Jianqing lost her balance and fell into his arms.Gu Su hugged him with both arms, and sighed softly: "The waist is so thin, it's even slimmer than in Nanshan."

Ye Jianqing's face turned red, the carriage was still bumping, he cursed the coachman in his heart, but he didn't dare to raise his eyes to look at Gu Su, his nose was full of the aroma of herbs on his body.

Gu Su let go of his arms only after the carriage went smoothly.Ye Jianqing hurriedly sat up straight, feeling very embarrassed for a moment, had to find something to say: "Master, you look so good today, if you keep on..." Gu Su smiled in his eyes, and said: "You think life is so simple If you wear brocade, you are a prince, and if you wear shackles, you are a prisoner? Let me ask you, do you sleep better in Ganjing than in Nanshan?"

Ye Jianqing was speechless.Since arriving in the beautiful hell of Ganjing, he has never had a peaceful night's sleep.

Gu Su turned his eyes to the market outside the window, and whispered softly: "You are the lord of thousands of households at the foot of the mountain, and you know that riding a horse is better than riding a bull. Looking at the mountain scenery right now, it is like riding a bull to be free."

Ye Jianqing burst into tears as she choked up and said, "Master, you must think I'm stupid. You think I'm in danger and want to seek revenge, and I can't stand my martial arts, mediocrity and lack of scheming, and I'm easy to be fooled." Lie. I can’t be like your old man, who can not only swallow the simple food, but also taste the delicacies of mountains and seas, so extraordinary and refined. If I don’t try, I will never forgive myself in this life.”

Gu Su thought to himself that I thought you were stupid and stubborn, but seeing his tear-stained face was really sad, so he couldn't say anything.So he took out a brocade handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to him, "Don't cry, I stained my clothes, so I can't change them for you."

Ye Jianqing immediately swallowed back her tears.

Just like this, after a meal, the faint sound of singing came to my ears.Outside the car was the sound of welcoming people and sending them off. Ye Jianqing probably knew where it was, and Gu Su took him to stroll around Zhangtai Street.He looked at him puzzled, but Gu Su closed his eyes and rested his mind, never saying a word.

The carriage finally stopped.The two got out of the car together.Ye Jianqing looked left and right, and saw that he was in a quiet alley, with an invisible wall all the way, and sparse flowers and trees could be faintly seen in the hollowed-out windows on the wall, and towering pavilions.The two of them took a few steps forward, only to see a carved lintel with a large plaque hanging on it, with the words "Suxin Pavilion" written on it.

Suxin Pavilion is a well-known silk and bamboo class in the south of the Yangtze River. It is an expert in the Internet world. It is different from the general Qinlou and Chu Pavilion. The so-called "voice of the king" and "supplementing the country with morality" took a high-end route.Ye Jianqing used to be in the south of the Yangtze River, there were branches of Suxin Pavilion all over the place, and he often visited, so he was no stranger.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, a waiter in green clothes flashed out from the door and bowed to greet him.Gu Su answered politely with that person in a very old fashioned way, while Ye Jianqing followed behind, full of doubts, Master Shishu doesn't look like someone who often comes to drink flower wine.

The houses in the pavilion are clean and clean, still in the pattern of Jiangzuo gardens, but the scale is doubled, vast and vast.If it weren't for Ye Jianqing's preoccupation, he could really come here often, entertaining the eyes and washing the dust.

The waiter brought the two of them into an abode, and asked, "Are there any musicians and singers you two know?" Gu Su thought for a while, and asked, "Who is the best player in your pavilion?" He said: "It's Miss Mingzhu." Gu Su nodded and said: "That's her." He said and took out a small gold ingot from his sleeve and wanted to hand it to him.

Ye Jianqing's eyes were rounded, when was the leader ever so generous? !But the man took a step back timidly, and said hesitantly: "This honored guest, you probably don't know that Miss Mingzhu doesn't see her very often..." Gu Su raised his hand, threw the gold into his arms, and said with a smile: " This is a reward for you. That girl Mingzhu doesn’t like this. You can just pass a word to me quietly. Whether she comes or not is her business.” The man was startled, unexpectedly, the deputy curator was there He was just a "girl" in his mouth, so he stammered: "What message do you want to pass on, honored guest?"

"You just tell her: Luofu Mountain, Lingxiao Palace, and the Pillow Tree, and she will understand."

Then someone came in to deliver tea and wine.Gu Su poured himself a cup comfortably on the couch, turned his head to look at the sluggish Ye Jianqing, and said dissatisfiedly: "You have been acting stupid since you entered here, when people come, show me your wit Some." Ye Jianqing nodded dumbly, and after a while he couldn't help but said: "Master Master, you're so profligate, wouldn't Shopkeeper Li know about it?" As soon as he finished speaking, a wine glass was thrown over, and Ye Jianqing tilted her head, and the wine glass fell to the ground.

Recently, the leader has become addicted to throwing things at him.

There were hurried footsteps outside the door, and a beautiful woman in palace attire came in hurriedly, and said as she walked, "I don't know that Master Gu is here, and the Suxin Pavilion is full of splendor. Master Gu, what's wrong with the hospitality?" place?"

Ye Jianqing got up and said, "Miss Mingzhu, the leader is teaching you a lesson and ruined the jade cup in the pavilion. I'm sorry." Then Mingzhu turned to look at him.This girl is in her early twenties, with meteors in her eyes, Cui Dai relaxed her eyebrows, her whole body is strict and quiet.Gu Su waited for her to greet Ye Jianqing for a while, before asking, "Is your curator in the pavilion right now?"

There was a glimmer of light in Mingzhu's eyes, she bowed her head and said, "Master Hui, I'm here. It's just that there are important guests with me at this moment, and I can't get away." Gu Su said, "Then I'll wait for him." Mingzhu said He bowed and made a "please" gesture, and said sincerely: "It's noisy here, I'm afraid it will pollute the eyes and ears of the leader. Please move your jade toe and sit in Meiwu."

She led the way, and Gu Su and Ye Jianqing followed her through the winding corridors. After a month of passage through the gate, they saw countless plum trees planted in the open space, all of them in strange postures, slanting sideways, not a single one. The tree is heavy.There are also rockery pavilions dotted in the plum forest, surrounded by a pool, and the water smoke is condensed.Ye Jianqing's face revealed a look of astonishment, thinking back to when the flowers bloom in winter, the fresh air of plum blossoms in a garden, the cold fragrance blowing sleeves and the east wind softening, how elegant and noble it is.

He didn't know why, but when he got here, he was full of imagination.In my mind, I saw a person sitting under a plum tree, wearing a brocade robe and a jade belt, with a guqin in front of him, falling plums like snow on his fingers, brushing his whole body to make it full.That person raised his head, his face sank like water, and suddenly he looked like Gu Su!

"Why are you so stupid!" After hearing Gu Su's scolding, Ye Jianqing came to his senses, the three of them had already entered Meiwu, and Mingzhu covered her mouth and chuckled.

Gu Su sat upright on the brocade mattress in the hall.The Ming Hall is open on three sides, and you can see the scenery in the garden. Whenever the night is cool and the people are settled, and the moon is clear and the wind is clear, famous people have hairpin flowers on their temples, listening to music and enjoying flowers, which is really a place for immortals!

Mingzhu pressed down and asked: "Does the leader have any orders? Do you want to listen to music or drink?"

Gu Su glanced at her, and said casually, "Where's your Haiyue Qinghui Qin? Take it out."

Mingzhu's body trembled on the ground, Ye Jianqing felt that she was not very happy, but finally replied: "Yes. That concubine is making a fool of herself, and I ask the leader to give me advice." After she said this, she got up and left. Xi, went to pick up the piano.Outside Meiwu, there are servants and servants who bring tea, move the piano table and stool, and light the incense burner.

Ye Jianqing felt bored, so he got up and wandered around in the hall, and walked to a screen, and saw a scroll of scrolled paintings hanging on it.Aroused by his curiosity, he loosened the silk tie that tied the painting, and the painting opened with a clatter, and a few plum blossoms and two lines of footprints were painted on it.

Gu Su came over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ye Jianqing's face turned livid, and he pointed to the drawing paper and said, "This is a painting bought by King Ning, why is it here?"

Gu Sulue glanced at it, and said lightly: "Don't think about it, the owner of the pavilion is not from King Ning."

Ye Jianqing gritted his teeth and said, "If it's not the Prince, King Ning, or King Duan, then it's His Majesty's."

He has been so deep in the mud!Gu Su gave him a fixed look, with disappointment, melancholy, and sadness in his eyes, as if lamenting his misfortune and angering him, he sighed softly.

Mingzhu took the qin and arrived in a short while, seeing the two standing in front of the screen without saying a word, she was surprised: "You two, is there anything wrong with this painting?"

Gu Su reached out to grab Ye Jianqing's collar, dragged him away, and replied: "It's nothing, it fits the occasion! My stupid apprentice doesn't know how to read paintings. Why is it called "Treading" because there is neither snow nor wine? "Xuegu Wine Picture"."

Mingzhu wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, so after the two re-entered the table, she gave a big gift and sat down at the piano table.Lying in front of her is a Zhongni-style guqin, the body of which is maroon, with broken patterns of running water on it, and it looks like it has been around for many years.After the song, the lingering sound lingered, Mingzhu looked up at Gu Su who was in the hall, but the other party didn't say a word.

After the incense in the censer was burned out, Gu Su asked Ye Jianqing, "You used to learn the piano from the master, how did you feel?" Ye Jianqing didn't listen to any tunes he played.

Gu Su asked her: "You used to play the zither, right?"

Mingzhu was terrified, all the blood on her face disappeared, she reluctantly nodded.

The corner of Gu Su's mouth curled up, and he smiled and said, "It's pretty good to use the qin like this."

Mingzhu didn't understand for a moment.

At this time, a middle-aged man's deep voice sounded outside: "Plum blossoms are the clearest flowers, qin is the clearest sound, and this song is written with the clearest sound. Things that are ineffective, the leader means that you multiply Tired hands and hair, showing off skills, is not the voice of a gentleman."

The author has something to say: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
