"The flowers here are blooming so beautifully! Thank you, Fourth Miss Qu." Master Ning Yin smiled at Qu Moying and bowed, "Master, you like blooming flowers. I heard that only the hot springs near the capital may have such flowers. I heard that Fourth Miss Qu came here, so I came here with the audacity to ask you."
"You're too polite, sir. It's nothing." Qu Moying smiled.
There are several forsythia plants planted in this place. They are in full bloom at this time. The flowers are large and colorful. It is indeed a beautiful sight at this time.
She and Ning Yin really came around the courtyard wall, just behind the courtyard, closest to the hot spring, where the ground air was the warmest.
"Then I will take action?"
"Please do as you please, sir!" Qu Moying shook his hand and stood aside waiting.
The reason why Master Ning Yin came here today was to pick a flower as a birthday gift for the Master of Qingyun Temple. The Master of Qingyun Temple doesn't like many things, and he especially doesn't like those things that are too gorgeous and luxurious. He used to be very quiet. As the Master of Qingyun Temple's favorite disciple, Master Ning Yin naturally knew the Master's preferences, so he tried his best to ask for something that was not gorgeous but would please the Master.
So they found Qu Moying here, not long after Qu Moying arrived at this farm.
Master Ning Yin stepped forward, turned left and right, looked up and observed it carefully, then picked one.
It is a very simple branch with not many flowers on it, just one, but she picked it very well, and even this one flower does not look thin, and it is extremely colorful against the twisted branches.
"Thank you, Miss Qu Si. I'll take my leave now!" Master Ning Yin happily turned the branch in his hand, looked at it with relief, and then said goodbye to Qu Moying.
"Master, why don't you sit for a while and take a rest?" Qu Moying wants to keep the guest. He just came and left, and he is a person from Qingyun Temple. No matter how you look at it, he should stay.
"I won't bother Miss Four anymore." Master Ning Yin declined.
"It's not a trouble. I just got here and was originally alone. I didn't expect to meet you in person. If you are not in a hurry to go back, please sit down and have a cup of tea!" Qu Moying continued to keep the guest.
“It’s not urgent, but…” Master Ning Yin hesitated.
"What else is there to finish, Master?" Qu Moying understood.
"This flower... should be sent to the abbot first. If the flower is not taken care of early, it will be wasted." Master Ning Yin looked at the branch in his hand.
"I have prepared a vase for you. If you go back like this, I'm afraid the flowers will dry up." Qu Moying said with a smile, and Yuchun came over with a vase.
"This... vase, how can I use it?" Seeing the vase, Master Ning Yin frowned and pushed his hand away, saying, "Just a very ordinary vase. Miss Fourth's vase is too expensive, and the master of the temple would not like it if he saw it."
This is the recognition that this vase is not an ordinary object.
"It's okay, originally there was a pair of these vases, but now there's only one left, so the value isn't that great. Besides, one is missing, and I always feel uncomfortable looking at the other one. It just so happens that the real person needs it, but I don't, so the so-called value isn't that great, the real person is a hermit, and he's a little obsessed!"
Qu Moying explained with a smile.
Master Ning Yin looked at the vase, then at Qu Moying, and sighed helplessly: "It is true that I am obsessed. Thank you, Fourth Miss!"
"You are so polite.
I am not in good health, and I have troubled the real person. From this point of view, the real person is still my benefactor. "Qu Moying smiled and raised his hand towards the yard, "Real person, please follow me!"
Then he turned around and walked around to the front.
Yuchun carefully took the flower branch from Master Ning Yin's hand, put it into the vase, and followed Master Ning Yin holding the vase.
Back in the main room, the host and guest sat down and the maid served them tea.
Master Ning Yin took a sip and put it down: "Has Miss Fourth written any new music scores recently?"
"I've been very busy lately and haven't had time to do these elegant things." Qu Moying sighed.
"I would like to congratulate the fourth young lady on her great happiness." Ning Yinzhen said softly, with a naturally gentle expression. Although she was wearing a very simple Taoist robe and had no makeup on her face, she looked even more extraordinary.
This is to congratulate Qu Moying on her wedding.
"You're too polite! I'm just really busy lately and don't have time to compose music." Qu Moying sighed.
"I have been free recently, so I composed a few pieces. I happened to meet the Fourth Miss today. Why don't you help me evaluate it!" Master Ning Yin took out a thin booklet from his sleeve and handed it over.
Qu Moying took it and nodded as he looked at it.
In terms of attainments in music composition, Master Ning Yin is really good and can almost be considered a master of music composition.
Even though there are only a few short sections, and it doesn't look like a complete song, but from these few sections, we can already see Ning Yinzhen's skills.
"Would you like to play it for me?" Qu Moying suggested after watching it, and then stretched out his left hand. Although the scar on it had gone, a closer look still showed some differences. While it was healing, his fingers were not as flexible as before. "I wanted to try it originally, but unfortunately my hand was injured before, so it is not conducive to playing the piano."
The key to playing the piano is fluency. If the sound is dull, no matter how good the music score is, it will not come out.
"Then I'll give it a try!" Master Ning Yin was also delighted to see the prey.
"Yudong, bring Feng Yu over here!" Qu Moying turned around and ordered.
Yudong obeyed the order and went to the inner room, took out a zither and placed it on the low table in front of the window, which could be simply arranged to look like a piano stand.
"Feng Yu Guqin?" Master Ning Yin raised his eyebrows, stood up in surprise, walked to the zither and examined it carefully.
"Yes, it's Feng Yu Guqin!" Qu Moying was not surprised by Master Ning Yin's performance. As long as Master Ning Yin really liked guqin, he would naturally know Feng Yu Guqin.
"I didn't expect that this Feng Yu Guqin would fall into the hands of Miss Qu Si!" After seeing it, Master Ning Yin sighed sincerely, "I thought there was no Feng Yu in the world anymore!"
"Of course there is. I got it by chance. You can try the color of this piano." Qu Moying invited with a smile.
As a person who truly loves the piano, I will not miss such an opportunity to play the piano.
Sure enough, although Master Ning Yin was polite again, he still went to the piano and played a song at Qu Moying's invitation. After the song, Qu Moying clapped his hands.
"The real person plays the piano really well. Even if my hand wasn't injured, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to play as well as the real person."
"Miss Fourth, you are too kind. I didn't expect to see Feng Yu Guqin here. I lost my manners for a moment. I heard that Feng Yu Guqin used to belong to the Duke of Qi's Mansion. I don't know where it is.
How did it fall into the hands of Miss Qu Si? "Although Master Ning Yin stopped playing, he still looked at the guqin eagerly, and his attention was almost completely attracted by the guqin.
"From the Duke of Qi's Mansion? I've never heard of it?" Qu Moying said in surprise.
"Didn't the Fourth Young Lady get it from the Duke of Qi's Mansion?" Master Ning Yin was stunned for a moment and looked back in astonishment.
"Of course not. This was passed down from my mother. It has nothing to do with the Duke of Qi's Mansion. Why do you think it belongs to the Duke of Qi's Mansion?" Qu Moying asked with a smile.
Master Ning Yin's eyes tightened for a moment, then slowly relaxed, his gaze no longer fixed on the zither, "It's just a rumor, and I heard it from a pilgrim. I didn't expect it to be a misunderstanding. As expected, rumors are the most unreliable! I was wrong!"
"You are a piano lover, and I am also a piano lover, so how can this be false? Would you like to play a few more songs? It is a rare opportunity to enjoy the piano with you."
Qu Moying invited nonchalantly, as if he hadn't noticed Master Ning Yin's sudden awakening.
Before, Master Ning Yin's attention was completely focused on the zither, with a bit of obsession, but after he said what he had said before, Master Ning Yin suddenly became clear-headed, and his words were flawless.
The so-called rumors and pilgrims are certainly not to be trusted. Moreover, it is impossible to find such a pilgrim even if one wants to find him, as they are just chance encounters.
Qu Moying believes that Master Ning Yin knows that this zither is related to the Duke of Qi's Mansion, which is another explanation.
The one who married into the Duke Qi's Mansion was Princess Xian'an, and the Abbess of Qingyun Temple was Princess Hengyang. The two were cousins, so they naturally knew about the guqin in the Duke Qi's Mansion. Now the Abbess of Qingyun Temple also knew about it, so the Abbess's apprentice, Zhenren Ningyin, also knew about it.
Being of the same lineage originally didn't mean anything, but the problem was that they were all monks who had let go of all the four elements, and some of the things involved treason, so why bother passing them down so much
What's more, Master Ning Yin instantly woke up from his obsession. To make a person who loves the zither suddenly get rid of his state of liking it, it must be something more important, something that he cares about more, or something that he always keeps in mind.
There weren't many things she mentioned just now, and she didn't care about many things either.
Therefore, this Qingyun Temple is very interesting, and this Ningyin Zhenren is also very interesting. His appearance is in line with the current public's preferences. He is elegant and unworldly, likes the sound of the zither, and has an extraordinary background. Even though he had to become a monk to practice, he still has excellent character, and is gentle and polite in his speech.
She was a stranger to Ji Hanyue before, and it was hard to invite her. It seemed that she really didn't care about worldly things. But to Qu Moying now, she was like a close friend, caring about everything. Even if there was nothing to do, she would take the initiative to visit her, showing affection...
Is all this because I'm going to become the Queen of England
Why come to Qingyun Temple
When seeing off Master Ning Yin, Qu Moying deliberately sent her to the entrance of the village. After watching Master Ning Yin leave, she slowly turned around and looked elsewhere.
She couldn't figure out the intention of Qingyun Temple, but one thing was certain, this Master Ningyin came here deliberately to make friends with her. The Qingyun Temple, which was detached from the world, was actually not otherworldly at all!
Qu Moying didn't have to wait long. Sure enough, after taking a nap in the afternoon, Ji Youran came to her house. Not only did he come, but he also brought a new piece of news...
