40.
The result is still coming.
Ignoring the countless winks from Qin Weiyu and the astonished eyes of His Royal Highness, Fang Tinglan left the stage without noticing what lame excuse he had made up. While scolding himself in his heart, he took off his coat and mixed into the crowd not far from the target two.
If the last moonlit stalking can be explained as the fact that there is information to confirm the collection, but the rare meeting with the princess, and the spying on a pair of ladies and pirates who left the scene early, what is more important, but any normal person You can't go wrong. Fang Tinglan didn't think he was a fool, but when he saw the girl put her head on Hailian's chest, his mind suddenly became confused.
He had never seen such a regretful expression on Hailian's face, just as he had never seen such a happy smiling face on Hailian's face now. His little neighbor's pretty face always had an air of arrogance and impatience, and the corners of his mouth were always half-lazy and half-provocative. It can be seen that he deliberately kept a distance from them.
Only now... Fang Tinglan's eyes are always tightly locked on the other party's rare gentle eyebrows.
Hai Lian has no defense against this girl.
This cognition was like a needle that lightly pricked Fang Tinglan's palm, causing the man to subconsciously clenched his fist.
"You are wearing the shirt I made today." Hai Yu blinked, "I saw it."
Hailian glanced at her body: "I heard people say that if people who come to this place are poorly dressed, they won't even be allowed to enter the door." He paused, "I don't need to do it anymore, it's ruined by wearing it on me. You might as well prepare two more skirts for yourself."
The girl pursed her lips, a little unhappy, but after walking a few steps, her round eyes curved into two crescents again: "That's right."
"Ok?"
Hai Yu shook his head, and the flower decoration made of snow-white silk and satin trembled on his temples: "Look, it's made from the scraps of the one you wear, doesn't it look good?"
Hailian nodded and laughed too.
He said he was going out for a walk, but in fact Hailian couldn't think of any good places to go. When he was young, he would take his sister to the alleys of Anwana District to watch wandering Dongzhou performers perform tricks. Now that Haiyu is a half-grown girl, she can't still watch children's things. He took Haiyu for a walk aimlessly by the Reflecting River, and the topic spread out in bits and pieces: "How is Your Royal Highness treating you? Has anyone bullied you?"
"No, everyone treats me very well." Hai Yu said, "No one bullies me."
"If any nobleman dares to touch you, you can tell me."
Haiyu chuckled: "Are you going to beat someone up again? I remember that the skinny monkey robbed my windmill before, and you almost turned him into a fat monkey."
Hailian snorted, it was a tacit consent.
He didn't tell Hai Yu how he avenged her in the black boxing arena. He knew that his sister was not such a fragile girl, but he hoped that this wound that had scabbed over would never be mentioned or touched.
"Tell me about Chui Zhi Ting," Hai Lian changed the topic, "Let me also gain insight."
"What can we say about Chuizhi Court? It's just an ordinary garden. There are flowers, grass, and palaces. In summer, there are so many mosquitoes that it's annoying. No matter how you smoke them, you can't smoke them clean." Liang, "Yes! Brother, do you know that there is a small three-story building in Chuizhi Court, which is full of books. When I entered it for the first time, I was stunned! Her Royal Highness saw that I like this place, so she said she came here Teach me how to read, now I can understand all the books on the first floor, some are about ancient people, and some are about people today. As for the books on the second floor... I can recognize the characters on it , but I don’t know what it means when they are connected together; the third floor is locked, and only Her Royal Highness can enter. She said that when I can understand the books on the second floor, I can become Tisu Secretary, I will take care of you when the time comes."
Hailian shook her head and laughed, "I don't need you to raise me."
"I'm serious," Hai Yu frowned, "I know what kind of money you earn, it's money in exchange for your life, right? You and the old lady always treat me like a child and hide everything from me , actually I've already—”
"There's someone playing the violin over there, go and listen." Hai Lian interrupted the girl's words, and walked forward involuntarily. Haiyu knew that her brother didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so she darkened her brows slightly, then smiled again and followed.
The rich enjoy the banquets of the rich, and the common people also have the singing and dancing entertainment of the common people. Tisu’s tea qin players are like the singers on the grassland, they are unique in the four deserts. As long as the tea qin is played, people from all directions will Be attracted. In the past, in the Amber Square, there were melodious melodies of tea zithers from morning to night, and there was even a sparring arena where skills were competed. Since Abal came to the throne, Amber Square has not allowed people from Anwana District to enter. Ding dong dong's musical symbols have nowhere to go, just like gorgeous flowers adorning the gray and white buildings, falling in the muddy streets and alleys.
When the two came to the source of the music, it was at the end of a song, and the dancing men and women in a circle spread out, waiting for the next song. Coins and flowers fell in front of the piano player, like a burst of silver and red flowers. rain. The old pianist thanked him, adjusted the strings again, and plucked the first sound.
—Whose white sails, whose forts, whose ships are laden
"It's our captain, Barrine!" the crowd sang in unison.
"Can you still dance?" Hailian asked.
"Of course!" Hai Yu smiled triumphantly at him, pulled up the corner of her skirt and turned sideways lightly, then mixed into the joyful crowd.
—The girl on the pier, after waiting for six months, her lover finally returned.
People's choruses are high or low, never in tune, but it doesn't hinder the dance steps under their feet. These dance steps have no fancy skills, just spinning and jumping, making the mud spots on the river bank like the paint in the hands of a painter, Paint different patterns on each person's pant legs.
"Aren't you coming?" The girl beckoned to him, and the ribbon tied around her wrist was also dancing non-stop.
"Come on." Hailian rolled up his sleeves.
—they kiss on the first day, wed the next day, the white sails are hoisted on the third day, and our captain is leaving again.
—The girl asked the captain, did I marry you, or did I marry the sea
Hai Lian turned around and came to the next dance partner. He was about to hold the other's hand, and he was taken aback for a moment.
He is very familiar with this hand. There is still the wound on his arm two months ago, and now there is only a shallow imprint. Pour a glass of good wine.
The little pirate raised his face and met the man's eyes that were as bright as lacquer: "...Fang Tinglan?"
—Goodbye land, goodbye lover! If you miss me, pluck your qin, and the south wind will send it to me.
—Only the ship will not turn back, Captain Barina will never repent!
"La la la, la la la la..." The other party hummed the next paragraph, and then replied with a smile, "It's me."
41.
The song didn't stop, and the two of them were dragged by the crowd and continued to dance involuntarily.
"Why are you here?"
"Passing by, I just saw you."
Hailian glanced at the expensive clothes on the other party: "Not going to your business?"
"It's over." Fang Tinglan lied in front of the little pirate, and this kind of lines came at his fingertips.
Fortunately, Hai Lian was just asking casually. He stepped back two steps on the beat, his toes spun a pothole on the ground, and then stepped forward: "You can actually jump this."
"I prepared a lot of things before I came to Tisu." It was nonsense again, Fang Tinglan went to and from all kinds of monsters and snakes every day, so he had no time to prepare such low-level things. Fortunately, the dance and song were really simple. Natural capital is top-notch, but you can learn a lot after just a few glances.
This answer seemed to satisfy Hai Lian, he calmed down and stopped talking, and danced with Fang Tinglan again, but when he was about to exchange partners again, the young man suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Ha, then are you prepared?" This?"
After all, the little pirate didn't hold another person's palm, but walked to the center alone. He snapped his fingers towards the tea qin player, and the old man understood. Get up fast.
Cheers erupted from the crowd, everyone gradually stopped and looked at the young man who was about to fight. With his hands behind his back, Hai Lian moved deftly amidst booing whistles and out-of-key fast songs, only the dancing steps under his feet dazzled people—even though he was still wearing the author's dusty coat, he was like a bird A proud peacock with gorgeous tail wings. He was short and turned around, but his gaze was fixed on Fang Tinglan all the time. The knife mark at the end of his eye was like a sharp hook, almost hooking the heart and soul of the Dongzhou man from his chest bloody.
—Goodbye land, goodbye lover! If you miss me, pluck your qin, and the south wind will send it to me.
Fang Tinglan's throat rolled, as if something was about to break through his heart. He heard his own tinnitus.
The last note burst out from the tea player's fingertips, Hailian's feet flew into the air, and then stomped on the ground vigorously. The moment he stood still, he suddenly raised his head and bared his teeth at Fang Tinglan: "Come on?"
"..." Fang Tinglan had a helpless smile on his lips, and raised his hands, "No."
"I surrender," he said.
