A Lady’s Tranquility

Chapter 188: kite string

Views:

Jiang Xuening's carriage drove all the way to Guanlan Building.

When the autumn is high and the air is cool, most of the people go to the Qinhuai River, or visit the temple on the nearby mountain. The people in the teahouse are deserted, and it is rare for anyone to book a table.

The layout of this tea house is somewhat elegant.

On the second floor next to the railings, there is a special place for the piano table. The piano table is placed on the top, and the piano is displayed on the table. There is a censer in the corner, and a good agarwood incense is burning in the censer.

It's just that there are few guests at the moment, and there is no pianist playing.

Jiang Xuening didn't want to be disturbed when he came to wait for the others, so he waved away Dr. Cha who was coming to entertain the guests, but the piano master didn't let him call. He just found a book to read to pass the time, and waited for the end of the discussions in the Qingyuan. Good to see Lu Xian .

Wei Liang was bored.

On the bookshelf are collections of classics and history, poems and songs, and he has no interest at all. After drinking half a cup of tea, I stood up and sat down again. I walked from one end to the other. There was really nothing to do. I only felt that there were so few people in this restaurant that people couldn't even find the opportunity to slip away in the chaos.

Although the scenery is good, he feels restrained.

After searching for a long time, I just walked to the railing and looked out.

When I turned around unexpectedly, I saw the piano.

Farming is what he likes, and reading is what he hates. It can be said that he hates all elegant things, and prefers such common things.

Except for the piano.

In the past, he liked this way of reading, but now he has nothing to do, so when he saw this qin, he was a little itchy. Seeing Jiang Xuening reading on the side, he didn't pay attention to his posture, so he walked up to the qin platform and sat on the qin at the table.

The tea house is not very good, and the qin is naturally not a particularly good qin.

But at the beginning of the string audition, it is not too bad.

Wei Liang played a piece with ease.

Jiang Xuening was reading a book, but only thought that he would meet Lu Xian in a while. Most of his thoughts were not on the book. He only thought about what to talk about and how to talk, so he was not very interested in it.

She was stunned when she heard the sound of the piano.

When he looked up, he realized that Wei Liang was actually playing the piano.

The song "Qing Ping Yin" that she played, as the so-called "Wind is born on the ground, starts at the end of Qing Ping", when the autumn is high, I only play it on the floor, which suddenly coincides with her mood at the moment.

The troubled autumn is not when the wind blows.

Jiang Xuening put down the book with only a few pages in his hand, and listened to Wei Liang's performance before he said, "So Young Master Wei can also play the piano."

Wei Liang's playing was purely uplifting, and he didn't expect that she would be listening. He raised his head and saw that she was watching him with piercing eyes. Somehow, a passion rushed to his face, giving him a sense of excitement. Feeling embarrassed to show off in front of others, he got up in a hurry and explained: "I have nothing to do, my skills are very poor, I am afraid that the girl's respect will be polluted."

He got up in a hurry, his sleeve robe hanging on the corner of the table.

The qin was brought crooked on the table.

Jiang Xuening couldn't help laughing: "I play the piano myself to contaminate other people's ears. Duke Wei plays very well. How can I make fun of you?"

Wei Liang couldn't speak.

He has never been very good at words, and it took a long time before he stumbled and said, "Do you love the piano too?"

Aegean

She dare not.

Jiang Xuening glanced at him, put down the book, walked closer, only straightened the crooked piano, and said, "My skills are poor, and I don't have a pure heart - I'm not fit to play the piano."

Wei Liang couldn't help being stunned.

The woman in front of her was standing on the side of the piano platform, and there seemed to be something hidden in her slightly narrowed eyes. The slender fingers were placed on the edge of her body, and the gesture was clearly made by someone who knew something about the piano. A faint scent of green lotus emanated from her sleeves, adding a touch of coldness to her gorgeous silhouette.

But doesn't this owner love money

Where does it look like a businessman covered in copper smell right now

His eyes fell on Jiang Xuening, and he was momentarily confused.

Jiang Xuening, however, remembered some people and things in the old days, and frowned slightly. Just as he was about to withdraw his hand holding the piano, a child rushed upstairs: "Girl, girl!"

She was shocked: "The Qingyuan discussion is over?"

The boy pointed out and said, "No, someone outside said they wanted to find you."

In Jinling, she didn't know many people.

The Qingyuan discussion was not over, and it would not be Lu Xian who was looking for her.

Jiang Xuening suddenly felt strange that the person was standing on the piano platform on the second floor, and almost subconsciously followed the direction pointed by the child and looked towards the road below the teahouse. In just a short moment of sight, the entire body was as if struck by a thunderbolt, and immediately stiffened!

She could hardly believe her eyes.

The first thought that popped into my mind was-

impossible.

From the capital to Jinling, from north to south, the distance is more than 2,000 miles. How fast do you have to change horses along the way and how many days of sleepless nights you have to withstand? Only in this short ten days can you fly through the barriers and come to Jiangnan.

Wei Liang was standing with his back to the railing. Seeing Jiang Xuening looking down with a strange face, he couldn't help but turn his head to look.

I saw a group of dozens of people who did not know when to come.

Most of them are riding on horses, dressed in strong clothes and lean in body, but most of them have a tired look on their faces, and they seem to have rushed all the way from far away.

A boy in blue next to him has dismounted.

Although there are many people in this group, they did not make any noise.

Even the horses are quiet.

Although Wei Liang was slow, he also saw something unusual, not to mention the person at the front, who was really shocking.

And Jiang Xuening's eyes fell on this person.

Two years have passed, but this young master of the court seems to have not changed much.

Still love that snow-white robe.

It was just the long day's rush that seemed to make him look thinner, the white horse's hooves were splashed with mud, and the corners of his clean robes were also stained, and the five fingers of his right hand tightly restrained the reins, so that it was covered with layers of layers. He didn't seem to notice the slightest bit of pain himself, and raised an indifferent face to look at Jiang Xuening who was high up.

When Wei Liang's eyes fell on him, his eyes also turned slightly to meet Wei Liang.

Wei Liang felt terrified at that moment.

It was such a calm and even silent glance, but he seemed to catch a glimpse of the wind and rain, the sword shadow and the sword light hidden in the middle, but when he returned to his senses, his eyes were as high and deep as the gods, and he didn't touch it. A little bit of dust moved away.

Lu Xian had asked him before, even though he knew you were not that kind of person, if she left and never returned to Beijing, would you just let her go

He never answered.

Because he knows that kites always fly to the sky, but as long as the thread that is attached to it continues, no matter how far it flies, it will eventually come back. Her promise to the eldest princess Shen Zhiyi was that thread. With this thread, he can justifiably drag the kite back, or follow the thread to find her.

Xie Wei felt like a lunatic.

Came all the way.

It was only then that I remembered that I hadn't closed my eyes for several days, so I suddenly felt an unspeakable boredom.

Jiang Xuening naturally noticed the moment he looked at Wei Liang, and he didn't feel that he was at fault, but at the moment when he raised his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, he didn't know why he felt a guilty conscience that shouldn't have happened.

At the same time, there are all kinds of doubts-

At this juncture, how could Xie Wei come to her

Seeing that the other party was going to leave, she couldn't bear to think about it at that moment, so she blurted out and shouted: "Sir!"

Xie Wei stopped.

Jiang Xuening thought about Shen Zhiyi, gritted his teeth, ignored Wei Liang's surprised eyes, raised the corner of his skirt and went straight downstairs, came to Xie Wei's horse, looked up at him, opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. something.

The sun shines all over him.

The corners of the dirty robes were blown up by the wind.

Xie Wei's pale eyebrows and eyes were blocked by the light around him, and his expression could not be seen clearly. He only looked down at her with his eyes closed. After a while, he pinched a page that had been between his fingers for a while Handing the paper to her, he said calmly, "Let's go to the border in three days. If you think about it, you can go together."

How could she dare to be slighted now

He took the thin page of paper with both hands, and when his eyes fell, he noticed the scars left by the reins on Xie Wei's fingers.

The blood dripping to the ground when he broke free from this hand that day flashed in his mind.

Jiang Xuening didn't dare to look at Xie Wei.

Xie Wei didn't say anything to her.

She could only hear the sound of the reins shaking, and the muddy hoofs stepped on the ground. Daoqin hurriedly gave her a salute, then quickly got on the horse and followed everyone away.

Wei Liang looked confused on the second floor.

The sound of hoofs faded away, and the street in front of them was empty.

Jiang Xuening was like a big dream.

Only this page of paper in her hand reminded her that it was not a dream.

She slowly opened the page.
