The cool autumn days are very suitable for going out. Instead of riding a carriage, Murong Shuqing walked along the stone-paved path with green leanings, admiring the style of the ancient streets and alleys in the capital. Different from the prosperous and spacious main street, there are no gorgeous street-facing pavilions, no crowded teahouses and taverns, and some bungalows built of stone bricks and blue tiles, and snack and tea stalls hawking along the street. Murong Shuqing likes to wander in such alleys, which tell the ancient culture and stories of the capital with its simplicity.
Murong Shuqing walked all the way, rubbing her swollen temples all the way. She thought that she was about to catch a cold. She craved the cool autumn wind last night, and finally fell asleep on the grass. If Lu Yi hadn't woken her up, she probably wouldn't just have a headache now.
Bypassing the bluestone alley, behind it is the Yueyang River that traverses the capital. The river is not wide and the river is not in a hurry. It is a place where many literati and poets swim and hang around, so the river is moored with gorgeous or elegant or elegant painting boats.
The cool river wind was blowing slowly, which relieved Murong Shuqing's slightly aching head. The purpose of her going out today was not only to visit the famous streets and alleys of the capital, but also to go to Baoyue Study to select some books to read. She flipped through Qi Yue's study room, and she had finished reading it if she was interested. It would be very boring if she didn't find some books to pass the time.
The largest study holding the moon in the capital is on the banks of the Yueyang River. There is a green bamboo planted in the front yard of the study, and it is a spacious one-story house through a small bamboo forest. Murong Shuqing looked at the door, she was very satisfied, the door was open to the river, and the word "holding the moon" was written in varnish on the wooden plaque at the lintel. Entering the inner room, there are several carved mahogany tables and chairs, and if you go further inside, it should be the large library she designed. Sure enough, around a huge screen of green pine offering auspiciousness, there is a huge bookstore, and there are already many scholars in it selecting and reading books.
She also came to choose books today, so she didn't plan to reveal her identity. When she went out, she chose an indigo tunic, and tied her head with a towel and hair band of the same color. With a slightly thin and slender figure, with a gentle and indifferent smile, she looked like a refined and elegant scholar.
The boy who was on the side brought the pen and paper, and said modestly and forcefully, "Young Master, you can write down the title of the book if you want, and we will help you organize everything when you leave."
Lu Yi, who was behind him, took the pen and paper, Murong Shuqing smiled slightly and said, "Thank you."
The child returned the salute and stepped aside.
He flipped through the books all the way, and let Lu Yi write down what he agreed with. After walking around, Murong Shuqing realized that before she knew it, she had been in this bookstore for two hours, and then looking at the thick stack of books in Lu Yi's hand, she couldn't help laughing, she didn't seem to be buying books, but It's like moving books.
Once you have chosen, take it with you. Handing the large stack of books into Xiaotong's hands, regardless of his stunned expression, he handed over a five hundred tael silver note, and Murong Shuqing said, "Prepare the books first, someone will come to pick them up later."
After speaking, Murong Shuqing pulled Lu Yi out of the bookstore, because they were really hungry.
Lu Yi's face was a little bad, and Murong Shuqing said guiltily: "Lu Yi, I'm hungry, I'll take you to eat something delicious."
Lu Yi smiled happily: "Miss Xie."
Murong Shuqing said angrily, "It's wrong again."
Lu Yi stuck out his tongue, "I'm starving and dizzy, I'll call the master later, I can't be wrong."
The two joked and bickered and walked all the way to the reception building. It just didn't take a few steps. After a few rapid footsteps, a blue-clothed woman gasped behind her and called out, "Young Master, please stay."
Murong Shu took a close look at the beautiful little girl in front of her. She didn't know her, did she? Even so, Murong Shuqing politely asked, "What advice does the girl have?"
After finally calming her breath, the woman pointed to a light blue and delicate painting boat in front of her and said, "My lady invites the son to talk."
Her words made Murong Shuqing even more puzzled. Following her direction, Murong Shuqing looked at the painting boat that was docked not far away. The painting boat was not big, but it was elegantly and luxuriously decorated. The flying light blue veil blocked Murong Shuqing's sight, and only a few vague figures could be seen vaguely. Just as she was about to resign, a fiery red figure appeared on the bow, waving happily to her. Murong Shuqing squinted his eyes slightly, only to see the woman's appearance clearly. It was the girl in red in the Qingfeng Tower that day, so the people on the boat should be—
Haiyue
Murong Shuqing watched for a long time, but remained silent for a long time. Lu Yi asked worriedly, "Master?"
Murong Shuqing turned around and gave her a calm look.
Haiyue invited her to talk about why she came here? How many opportunities that Wang Sun Caijun could not ask for let her meet. In this case, she should be worthy of her ten thousand taels. If my memory serves me correctly, the tea and dim sum in Qingfenglou tastes very good.
Murong Shuqing turned around, raised an eyebrow at Lu Yi and smiled, "Take you to eat something delicious."
From the look of the young lady, she knew that this meal would not be so simple, but Lu Yi still smiled and nodded.
Murong Shuqing smiled at the little girl: "The girl leads the way."
After a while, Murong Shuqing boarded this exquisite and comfortable painting boat. Under the leadership of the woman in red, through the layers of blue gauze, Murong Shuqing saw Haiyue on the soft couch in the middle of the boat.
The pure white gauze skirt matched her smooth skin, like a piece of fine suet jade. With an ice blue crystal anklet tied on her bare ankle, her lazy and innocent smile, and her generous and casual posture, she is so perfect that people can't help but want to worship. Murong Shuqing sighed softly, she was indeed a stunner, not to mention a man, even a woman would be amazed.
Haiyue sat up slowly, got down on the soft couch, stepped barefoot on the pure white cashmere carpet, and said, "I haven't seen you in a few days, how's Young Master Qin?" She still just nodded her head casually, but she did it. Again the style is infinite.
Murong Shuqing cupped her hands and smiled, "Thank you, Miss, for your concern."
"Sir, please take a seat."
Murong Shuqing nodded and sat down. He also pulled Lv Yi to sit beside him, and pushed the plate of mung bean and lily cake in front of her, motioning her to eat some. Lu Yi obediently picked up a piece, took a bite, and nodded happily.
Seeing that she ate something, Murong Shuqing was relieved. After being hungry for so long, it would be bad if she fainted.
Seeing the intimate interaction between the two of them, Haiyue squinted her eyes slightly, and swayed around Lu Yi, she was indeed a beautiful girl. Looking back, Haiyue Luoluo smiled generously and said, "Haiyue has been waiting in Qingfeng Tower for a long time, but I haven't seen the young master again. I didn't expect to meet you today."
Today, I was just rafting on the lake in a boring way, and I never thought I would see him on the shore. Different from the splendor and dignity of that day, today he has no silk and satin, gems and jade, just coarse cloth and blue clothes, and his hair is only casually wrapped with a cloth towel, but the demeanor of that body is not overwhelmed at all, on the contrary, it is more and more dazzling and dazzling.
Murong Shuqing only took her to be polite, and replied with a smile, "You're welcome, Miss, I heard the fairy music last time, and I still remember it to this day."
Haiyue walked to the guqin near the deck and said, "You must be a gentleman who is proficient in rhythm. I wonder if you can give me a song too?"
Send her a song? Murong Shuqing frowned. She had read several books on music theory, and she could still understand the score. When she talked about the feeling of listening to the music, she could not comment, but she was really powerless to play such a guqin, so she had to apologize. Said: "Miss Miaozan, you are learning the rhythm rough, don't dare to use an axe."
Haiyue doesn't believe that a man with knowledge like him can't play the qin. He probably doesn't want to. Walking to Murong Shuqing's side, Haiyue said in a positive tone, "Young Master is unwilling!"
Facing Haiyue's stubborn eyes, Murong Shuqing really didn't know what to say. She really can't play the piano! If I don't give her a song today, Haiyue is afraid that she won't compromise. Murong Shuqing smiled bitterly, knowing that she should learn the art of piano.
"I really don't know how to play the piano, but I can give the lady a piece of music."
"Oh?" Can't play the piano but can send her music? Haiyue sat down beside Murong Shuqing, but she wanted to see it.
Murong Shuqing whispered a few words to Lu Yi next to him, Lu Yi nodded lightly, got up and sat down beside the guqin.
Haiyue was puzzled, and was about to ask a question, when a light and peaceful tune overflowed from Lu Yi's fingertips, like a vast ocean with no waves. Unexpectedly, this woman's piano skills are so outstanding. After receiving the question, Haiyue listened carefully.
Suddenly, the tune gradually changed, as if the distant tide was slowly approaching, asymptotically getting faster, and a high-pitched sound was like a surging wave crashing on the shore. On the sea, fish leaping and whales floating in the tide, and the seabed is also turbulent, hiding dangers in silent places, and doing everything possible to change. After the rapids, the sound of the piano is intermittent, and it is like the sea surface after the tide is receding, and the level is like a mirror.
When Lu Yi's last note ended, Haiyue stood up excitedly, her breathing was a little unsteady, and she asked anxiously, "What's the name of this song?"
Seeing that she was so excited, she really was someone who knew the sound and the law, Murong Shuqing replied, "The Song of Chaos in the Blue Sea."
This piece was originally a martial arts piece created by Huang Yaoshi in Jin Yong's martial arts novel. Later, Liu Xuexuan used the flute and guzheng to put this piece on the stage for the first time. Murong Shuqing had listened to it a few times before and liked it very much. She knew the score, but she couldn't play it. Later, when I came here, I knew that Lvyi's piano skills were very good, so I added some ideas of my own in the climax part I remembered, and let Lvyi interpret it. It happened to be used today.
Haiyue gave a high five and smiled: "Good song, good title."
After finishing speaking, Haiyue came to the guqin and thought for a while, and she raised her hands lightly.
Murong Shuqing never imagined that after just listening to it once, she would be able to interpret the chapter "Hot Sea Like Boiling". Although it wasn't exactly the same, in Murong Shuqing's opinion, adding a piece of music that she understood would be more spiritual. and personality. This piece of music, played by Lu Yi, is skilled, but lacks strength. Haiyue vividly interprets the changes of the sea with turbulent waves, white waves, and gulls flying in the wind. Murong Shuqing sighed: "Miss is really smart."
After the song was over, Haiyue got up, came to Murong Shuqing, and said earnestly and sincerely, "Qin Shu, Haiyue has the intention to make your friend, what do you think?"
She spoke frankly. Murong Shuqing admired such a talented and cheerful woman, so she nodded and smiled, "I would like to be my confidant."
"Okay, then don't call me Miss or Young Master." Picking up the wine on the table, handing a glass to Murong Shuqing, Hai Yue smiled and said, "Let's have a drink."
"Okay." After taking the wine, the two smiled at each other and raised their glasses to drink.
Haiyue drank the wine in one gulp, looked down and saw Murong Shuqing's raised neck, white and slender, there was only a faint pink scar on the neck, but there was no Adam's apple! Haiyue murmured suspiciously, "You—"
When he wanted to take a closer look, Murong Shuqing had already drained his glass of wine.
Murong Shuqing didn't avoid Shanghai Yue's suspicious and thoughtful gaze. Judging from her eyes glued to her neck, Hai Yue should have seen that she had no Adam's apple. She had no intention to lie to her, but last time she Qingfenglou had to dress up as a man. She saw it today, and it's better.
Haiyue said hesitantly: "You are..."
Murong Shuqing still smiled lightly, and said calmly: "I am! I wonder if Haiyue will still be my friend?"
She is a woman! Haiyue's slightly opened Xingyan eyes concealed anger, she lied to her! Feeling shy and angry, Hai Yue clenched her fists faintly, and the atmosphere in the painting boat instantly became a little depressing.
