Qingchuan History

506 - Four Seasons
Su Wanwan lived in the attic at the top of the whole building.

The sloping roof, the same sloping windows, and the translucent spun silk cover will reveal the positive halo of light in sunny days.

Rainy days are more troublesome, the drizzle continuously soaks the silk, and the water drips down after a long time. Therefore, every month or so, Su Wanwan's attic always has to change the window screens. Kim, she can afford it.

The bustard and Shi Fu climbed up to the attic and knocked on the door again. Su Wanwan was holding a liuqin obliquely with her head up, watching the rain hit the window screens and plucking the strings with one finger.

"Stop composing the music, your man is here, he's sitting on the second floor!"

The bustard urged her in a low voice through the door, and Shi Fu's heart trembled when he heard this.

The chords in the room played two or three times, and then stopped immediately, the door opened in response, and the light grass-colored Su Wanwan was slender and very elegant. "Aren't your majesties sitting on the second floor?"

"I know I'm still staying in the house! The Three Kingdoms are coming, how can you, Su Wanwan, not show up to perform? Let me ask you, do you really know how to dance the "Four Seasons"?"

Su Wanwan was startled, and turned to Shifu.

"Xiaoshan said you would." Shifu answered slowly, with clear words.

"I can dance. Let's talk about it." Wanwan replied.

The madam heaved a sigh of relief, pursed her lips and nodded, "You can dance as long as you can. His Majesty Qi Jun has already greeted you. Whether it's good or bad, don't blame me." She looked around, the attic was deep and alone, and there was no third person.

"Do you know who His Majesty Qi Jun is?"

Su Wanwan's surprised expression was obviously slower than ordinary people's reaction.Shi Fuan blamed her for not performing well, but the madam didn't feel it, because this girl is used to being loose, and she has no emotions when she is angry, and she is determined to do the other's work to ensure that she seizes the opportunity to jump into the dragon's gate——

Sure enough, after revealing the shocking truth, he began to babble, repeating what he had taught Shifu earlier.

"If the daughter enters the palace, the mother will have less helpers, and she will have to look for talents again. Isn't the loss outweighed by the gain?" Su Wanwan rubbed her right thumb and forefinger fingernails together, and the nails were so strong that no damage could be found after grinding.

The madam was relieved when she heard the words, squinting her eyes and poking out Shi Fu's face, "Look at his courage", and then smiled at Wan Wan:
"It's said that a daughter's face is a mother's face! We are most pleased that there is a master in the palace, who is still the blue eyes of Mr. Chao Qi. If anyone is not jealous, I am afraid that there will be countless people rushing to catch up with him." Come! Your Majesty is going to take you away today, you can go there with peace of mind, and you will get the grace to visit your relatives in the future, and come back to see your mother!"

The bustard was beaming with joy, gearing up,
"Mother has a good daughter like you in the Qi Palace to take care of her, what's not going well in the future? Wanwan—"

Su Wanwan heard that she was getting more and more energetic, and lost her patience, exchanged glances with Shi Fuan, went back to the room to change clothes, and appeared in the middle of the Dafang Hall on the second floor after a stick of incense.

She wore a bright white dance dress.It is white but bright, so it doesn't look dull, and it has layers of gauze all over the body. When the wind returns to the snow, it settles grandly, attracting the eyes of all the guests in the room.

The white-haired Ruan Bi narrowed his eyes for a while, shook his head from time to time, and said slowly for a while:
"Wearing a white dress back then?"

"Responding to Shengjun's words, yes." Su Wanwan answered with her head bowed.

The madam doesn't know the dance at all.Earlier, Ruan Yu said that she had seen it, but she couldn't say that Shengjun was wrong, so she had to lie about it as "the old name many years ago"; then Xiaoshan actually said that there was, and said that it was a late party. Stop it with "I haven't rehearsed for many years"——

Then Gu Xinglang spoke, Ruan Bi was merciful, riding a tiger was hard to get off, so she had to call Wanwan to dance, and when she heard that the other party answered the meeting in person, she had already lost her mind to ask why.

Like everyone else, he didn't know whether the white dress was right or not.

It seems that Ruan Bi is the only one who can tell right from wrong.

Pian Ruan Bi vaguely asked Wanwan for confirmation.

How did Su Wanwan know?

Ruan Bi watched the dance, what year was that?This year is only nineteen years old, I'm afraid I haven't even entered the favorite building at that time?

Ruan Xueyin didn't know that even the madam didn't know the strangeness of this dance, but Su Wanwan was Gu Xinglang's ambush, so performing the dance at this moment is definitely not just for nothing.

She watched intently.

With strings and bamboos up, dancing clothes fluttering, the pure white Su Wanwan is like a crane with a thousand feathers.Ruan Bi shook her head and squinted her eyes the whole time, her old look and eyes covered by sunken eyelids blocked Ruan Xueyin's observation and judgment.

The dance is also strange, there is no sign of "four seasons", no sign and no logic of change, just like the dancer's own impromptu.

Only the huge phoenix-headed konghou was crackling in Xiaoshan's hands, and the string of bright red tassels in the mouth of the phoenix head swayed unevenly with the plucking of the strings.

Su Wanwan put on a mask.It is also pure white, the eyebrows and eyes are outlined with a very fine ink pen, the lips are dotted with Danzhu, and there is a small and nearly tiny mole on the left cheek near the ear——

It's too small to be ignored, and it's just as eye-catching as the eyebrows and eyes when painted on the immaculate white mask.

It is suspected that it is just a mistake of ink and pen.

But when everyone noticed the mole, Ruan Bi stood up tremblingly with one hand on the table.

"Who are you?" His voice trembled with the situation, sighing more than flustered.

Wanwan was flicking her sleeves to cover her face and covered the corner of the mask. Hearing the words, she paused her hands, but she didn't straighten up when she got halfway down. She stopped in mid-air as if she didn't know whether she should stop or not.

"Who are you."

Ruan Bi raised his voice and asked again.

"Holy Lord, please forgive me!" The bustard hurriedly walked to the center of the hall and knelt down, "Wanwan is young and doesn't know the severity, she danced wrongly, and offended the Holy King! Please be extra merciful!" Saying so, she went to visit Gu again. Xinglang, look at Ruan Zhong again,

"Please Your Majesty be extra merciful!"

"Sheng Jun never made a mistake." Gu Xinglang remained calm, "Just ask who this Wanwan girl is, so mom doesn't need to panic."

This mother yelled very familiarly, and she looked like a regular visitor.Ruan Xueyin judged secretly, and finally turned her eyes to Gu Xinglang and Ruan Bi who were not far from each other at the banquet.

"My son-in-law." Then I saw Ruan Bi shaking his head towards Gu Xinglang, "I thought my son-in-law came here to ask me about the past seven years ago. It turned out not to be."

"What does Yue Zhang mean?"

Gu Xinglang's calmness is the most accurate calmness Ruan Xueyin has ever seen.Most people will appear cold when using this state on the scene because of too much force, but he is not, it is warm but calm and good, and it is extraordinarily sincere.

"The virtuous son-in-law arranged to watch the dance, and pretended that he had no intention of performing a dance in front of the imperial court this evening. He wanted to know the details of this person, and wanted to start with the Eastern Palace Medicine Garden."

After the last half sentence came out, everyone in the venue changed their expressions.Ruan Xueyin's heart beat obviously faster, and she must have looked at Ruan Bi's slowly opening and closing mouth.

"My father-in-law is profound, but my son-in-law is dull." Gu Xinglang said calmly, looking back at Ruan Xueyin, shaking his head with his eyes.

"Wan Wan." Ruan Bi turned to the center of the hall, where the girl in white was already kneeling on the ground, as quiet as deep snow, "What's your last name?"

Perhaps it was because of fright that the girl in white didn't return immediately, her face was hidden on the ground with her wide sleeves, so she couldn't see her expression.

"Report to the Holy Monarch," the madam said hastily.

"I'm asking her." Ruan Bi stared at the white dress all over the floor.

"Hui Shengjun," the girl said, but calmly, her voice was as clear as clouds, "My family name is Su."

There was a faint smile on Ruan Bi's face, which seemed strange to Ruan Xueyin.

"Xueyin." He looked over, "Do you know what your mother's last name is?"

This change came too unexpectedly, and Ruan Xueyin didn't have time to analyze it, so she suppressed her emotions and replied quietly: "The Holy King never told me, and Xueyin has never seen her mother's tablet. I don't know."

Ruan Bi shook her head, "Her surname is also Su. There is also a very small mole on her left cheek, just at that position, exactly the same." He turned to Gu Xinglang, his smile deepened, "It looks like you know."
