Reborn Concubine Queen

Chapter 199 Looking Back (1)

The young man was startled, and went to look at Gao Qichang in a panic: "It's so late, who will come?"

Gao Qichang and the military master looked at each other, and said in a deep voice: "Zhuanger, go out and have a look, go and come back!"

The young man responded in a low voice, hurried out the door, followed the servant to the front yard, led a person back into the room after a while, and said with a smile: "Cousin, look who this is."

Hidden in the darkness, Gao Qichang walked to the bright place, and said in a low voice, "Uncle Zhong, why are you here?"

The person who came was none other than Xiao Zhong who disappeared for many days.

The next day, after noon, Mama Gao of Shuqing Yazhai trotted all the way from the front, and went to the Xingfen room in the backyard in a hurry, holding a handkerchief and smiling obsequiously: "Girl, there is a guest here, mom welcome."

The star who was taking a selfie in the mirror stopped Thrush's hand, glanced at Mama Gao from the bronze mirror, and said coldly: "It's only noon, even if you want to pick up guests, you have to wait until dark, this is the rule." , Mom forgot all about it?"

Gao Mama hurried forward with a smile and said, "My girl, this is a distinguished guest, who dares to delay? Please hurry up, don't let the distinguished guest wait."

Xingfen is still in a hurry: "Even if it is a distinguished guest, I am afraid that what I want to see is not my mother's old face. If I don't draw it carefully and bump into a distinguished guest, my mother will be punished for me? "

Gao Mama couldn't tell her, and she couldn't force her to go, so she stood under the eaves, blowing the autumn wind, sweating all over, and couldn't tell Xing clearly, so she looked at the girl standing aside with her eyes. Cui Fen.

That Cui Fen had never been very fond of her, let alone be able to talk about it, but now that she looked at Gao Mama's wink and dared not ignore it, she had to step forward to persuade her.But she hadn't spoken yet, Xingfen stopped her hands indifferently, and turned to look at Mama Gao.

"I blame Gao Mama for reminding me. This Yuan Shandai painting is not good, I'm afraid it will be washed off. Cuifen, go get a basin of water, I want to unload it and paint again."

Mama Gao saw that Xingfen was taking Qiao more and more, she didn't want to scold Qiao as before, so she turned around and walked out of the courtyard gate, and went into the front yard to find the old bustard. After listening to Mama Gao's words, the old bustard turned pale After a while, the strong smile disappeared.

Li Chi, who was sitting on it, glanced at the fidgeting look of the old bustard, and said with a sneer: "Why, a girl's spectrum is quite big, do you even have to pick customers?"

The old bustard hurriedly stepped forward to plead guilty, and said: "My lord, please calm down, Xing Fen is still young and doesn't understand anything, and today she is not feeling well, and she might offend the distinguished guest, so thanking the guest may not be possible, it's not to neglect the lord."

Li Chi snorted coldly, and threw the teacup in his hand heavily on the rosewood table. When he got up and was about to rush out the door, he vaguely heard the sound of jingle bells. acquainted.

The voice was like a lover's hand, and Li Chi rushed towards the backyard of Shuqing Yazhai step by step, only to be stunned by the bustard and others who were waiting by the side, and wanted to go forward to stop him, did anyone dare to go? , when they pushed forward, Li Chi had already stepped into the backyard.

The sound of the piano stopped when Li Chi pushed open the door of Xingfen's room. In the mist of cigarette smoke, Xingfen was wearing a plain white dress and sitting in front of the guqin. , making people look unreal.

Li Chi opened his mouth in a daze: "What's the name of this song?"

Xingfen played it again like a fairy in the smoke, and felt that the sound of the piano was clear and beautiful: "This is an ancient song called Wangguier, which means that I hope my husband who is away will return home."

"Wangguier?" Li Chi murmured, "Did she ever wish for me to return?"

The old bustard who was following behind me stepped forward and said, "My lord, this place is dirty and not clean, let me take you to the front to sit down!"

Li Chi, who was disturbed, glanced at the old bustard with displeasure, turned around and was about to leave, when the star behind him parted, and said slowly: "People only know that His Royal Highness Wei Wang is cold-blooded and ruthless, even if he treats his knot Fa wife has never been half tender, I think the sound of Wangfei's piano is much better than that of slaves, which makes Wangye rush back to the mansion right now, and talk to Wangfei about the past at night."

Li Chi turned to look at the star: "How do you know that the princess also played it?"

Xingfen stopped playing the piano, and said with a smile: "Wanggui'er has been lost for many years. If he hadn't deliberately found it to play for the prince to know, I'm afraid the prince would not be so sad to ask what it's called after listening to it." , so I guess the prince should have heard it. This Wang Guier is talking about the wife who is looking forward to her husband’s return, and the prince’s side concubine and concubine dare not play it at will. In this way, only the virtuous and virtuous princess Yes. Lord, I guess right?"

Li Chi opened his mouth with a half-smile, "What do you want this time?"

Xingfen got up and walked slowly in front of Li Chi, Yingying knelt down and bowed: "I have nothing to ask for, but one wish. This Wang Gui'er originally had two ques, the upper and lower ques, and I only know the lower half que. I really want to hear what the first half que is. The tune, I want the prince to take the slave to meet the musician of the princess, and ask the musician to teach the slave the first half of it, so that the slave can learn how to look forward to it, it’s a matter of peace.”

Xingfen, who was kneeling on the ground with his head bowed, hadn't heard Li Chi's response for a long time. When he was feeling uneasy, he heard Li Chilang's laughter, and his heart finally fell to the ground.

As Li Chi left the side door of Shuqing Yazhai, Cui Fen helped her into the carriage prepared by Li Chi, she lifted the curtain to look at the courtyard of Shuqing Yazhai, lowered her eyes vaguely, and was led away by Li Chi go out.

This is a risky move, not only the stars are not half-sure, even Gao Qichang who is making suggestions from the side is also uneasy.

Following Gao Qichang, the young Xing Dezhuang who was waiting by the courtyard of Shuqing Yazhai saw the stars getting into Li Chi's carriage, and hurriedly shouted in a low voice: "Cousin, cousin! Let's catch up too!"

Gao Qichang looked at him with a dark face, and said in a deep voice: "With your temper, what great things can you do!" After speaking, he turned and got into the carriage parked in the corner, and took his cousin Xing Dezhuang back to the private house Report back to the military division.

Besides, the carriage carrying Xing Fen ran all the way out of the outskirts of Beijing, and when it reached the boundary, Xing Fen managed to straighten out his embarrassing hair accessories before being helped out of the carriage by Cui Fen.

Manager Tan, who was waiting at the side, hurried forward to lead Li Chi's horse personally, and was about to flatter him, when he turned his eyes and saw a young girl getting off the carriage, he couldn't help being a little dumbfounded, thinking that Li Chi didn't like Shi Yiqing, this was to give Shi Yiqing to him send out.Because of the years in his heart, Manager Tan decided to flatter the stars.

"You lead her to see Mrs. Shi, and tell her that this is what I mean." After Li Chi finished speaking with a cold face, he threw the horsewhip to the boy beside him, and strode into the main hall to rest.

Seeing that Li Chi didn't say that he wanted to drive Shi Yiqing away, Manager Qin felt a little confused about what Li Chi was going to do, so he hurriedly led Xingfen to the attic in the backyard.

It was already past the beginning of the heat wave, and the wind was blowing on her body, which made her feel a little cool, so Shi Yiqing nestled in the hut to read a book, with only He Lu serving by her side.Xing'er, who was serving outside, came in and reported that Manager Tan had invited guests to see him, saying that it was the King of Wei's intention, which surprised Shi Yiqing for a moment.

After inviting the guests in, Shi Yiqing changed his coat and stepped into the main hall, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a young girl standing pretty on the ground, he couldn't help being startled: "Miss looking for me?"

Seeing that Shi Yiqing was dressed as a woman, although she was wearing an old moxa-green dress, she had an exclusive temperament, as if she came from a great family, so she couldn't help but restrain her expression and said respectfully: "I heard that Madam can be a hopeful son, so I would like to ask for it." I asked my slave to come and ask my wife a thing or two."

Shi Yiqing saw that although the girl was dressed as an oiran, she didn't look like the girl who came out of the fireworks and willows, she felt a little good in her heart, and said with a smile: "When I was young, my aunt in the Zeng's house learned something, and when I grew up, because of playfulness, I don’t want to learn more, but now I forget it, how can I remember how to play with the strings, let alone play that ancient song in front of the girl.”

Seeing that she never underestimated her, Xing Fen expressed gratitude on his face, and said with a smile: "It's a pity that I don't have the fate to meet you."

"If a girl really wants to learn, it's not difficult. I know that there is a person who loves the piano like an idiot. He searched everywhere and pieced together ancient songs by himself. It is even more amazing than the ancient songs that have been handed down. .”

Xing Fen is also a person of Aegin. Hearing what she said, she regained her previously broken mind and hurriedly asked: "My dear wife, please tell me."

Shi Yiqing said with a smile: "It's okay to tell you, I just ask you one thing, I hope you can answer me honestly. Let me ask you, did the master who brought you here say anything to you before he came?"

"I begged my lord to bring me here."

Shi Yiqing was surprised: "You asked for it? Do you know me?"

Xingfen shook his head: "It's the first time we meet."

"Then why did you come to see me?"

"Master said, you can play Wangguier, and my wish since I was a child is to play the complete Wangguier once, and I can't miss anything!"

Shi Yiqing carefully looked at Xingfen's expression, trying to see the slightest inaccuracy: "Do you know what story Wang Guier is telling?"

"It is the wife who is looking forward to the return of her husband who has been fighting."

Shi Yiqing lowered his eyes and said with a wry smile: "It's just that some kind-hearted people buried the dirty things in the story, leaving only the original good side for you and me to see."

Xing Fen was surprised and said: "Could it be that there is something else hidden in this?"

"Wang Gui'er is indeed telling a story about a wife looking forward to her husband's return, but it's not as affectionate as you and I imagined. It's a pledge of eternal love. If I tell you, this song was originally written by a wife who has betrayed her husband. Would you still like to play this song?"
