Concubine like a house

Chapter 16 Concubine Lingling's Farewell Love (2)
Chacha also knew that she would accept it as soon as it was ready, so she retreated gracefully.

Shen Yu kept watching her walk out of the dining hall, then picked up the topic just now, and continued to ask Danxin: "Why did Chacha bully Chuxiu? I never heard her mention it."

"Young Lord! Chuxiu can't speak, what do you want her to say?" Danxin stood up for Hanchu again, "She is not like some moth, she can only complain about pillows!"

The word "pillow-shaped" is very suitable for the occasion now, Shen Yu's complexion became a little darker, and he asked Dan Xin in a concentrated voice: "What did you say?"

Dan Xin didn't show any fear, and replied with a sneer: "Well, when you go to visit your own flesh and blood later, you might as well ask the child's mother what she did when the Ming Mansion came to chase Hong Yuan to search for people that day."

Ignoring Yun Ci's side, she continued angrily, "Why did the Ming Mansion come to search for people that day? This servant thinks that Chacha must have done something wrong."

Hearing this, Shen Yu really fell silent, only the hand holding the wine glass revealed some of his thoughts.When Ming Cui came to chase after Hong Yuan to search for people, all the Marquis of Wenchang's mansion prayed in Huishan, and when he knew about it, everyone in the Ming Mansion had already left, and Yun Ci didn't talk much about it, just mentioned it.

It is true that, in Shen Yu's opinion, the Ming government can't make any disturbances in front of Yunci.Although he felt that this matter was strange, but Ming Cui came to Wenchang Hou Mansion to make amends that day, it was a misunderstanding, so he never got to the bottom of it.

Now listening to it lightly, it seems that there is no inside story.

"Girl Danxin, if you don't have real evidence, you can't just point fingers at someone." After all, she is the woman he has been with for many years, Shen Yu still doesn't believe that Chacha will be so ruthless.

"Yo! Do you feel distressed?" Danxin smiled more ironically, "I originally expected you to cure Chacha's crime. Now it's over, she is pregnant, and you must take care of the flesh and blood in her belly." It's a major event that has been turned into a small one, and a small matter has been turned into a small one. It's a pity that I have to continue to suffer!"

When the other party spoke to such an extent, Shen Yu had to believe it if he didn't believe it.It's just that Han Chu was not at the table today, so he couldn't ask in person, so he had to ask Yun Ci's meaning: "Wait, do you also know that Chacha bullied her?"

Shen Yu knew it well, just now he spoke so casually, if it was normal, Yun Ci would have scolded him long ago.However, he kept silent all the time, and blamed Chacha calmly.

That is to say, Yun Ci knew about this, and he felt wronged for Han Chu.

But only myself, the real master in name, was kept in the dark.He obviously thought that he had protected her, shielded her from the wind and rain, but now, he was not clear about people...

Shen Yu didn't know what he was upset about, was it because Han Han was wronged and refused to talk about it, or because he found out too late?Or, the annoyance is that Han Chu would rather talk to Yun Ci than to himself?
Shen Yu drank a glass of wine mockingly, gritted his teeth and said: "She has a bad throat, not a bad brain! Don't you know how to say a word?"

"Zi Feng, this is your family matter, I shouldn't comment on the reasoning." Yun Ci wanted to intercede for Han Chu, but fearing that it would be a waste of help, he could only say cryptically, "Chuxiu is a good girl with pure character. From now on... treat her kindly."

Hearing this, Shen Yu was very dissatisfied: "Could it be that I didn't treat her well before?"

During the meeting, several people did not reply.

It turned out that in the eyes of outsiders, he treated Han Chu so badly!Shen Yu laughed, feeling even more confused for a moment.For a while the news of Chacha's pregnancy flashed in his mind, and for a while there were light-hearted accusations and sarcasm, but more of it was Han Chu's indifference.

This meal was tasteless and extremely embarrassing.The two masters lost their interest, and the servants also knew how to read their words, so they left silently.

Shen Yu looked at the leftovers on the table coldly, got up and said to Yun Ci: "You have to leave early tomorrow morning, rest early today... I will go back first, and I will see you off tomorrow morning."

Yunci nodded in response: "Let Zhuying take you to Xiyuan to rest."

Unexpectedly, Shen Yu refused without thinking: "No, there is still something to do in the Hou's mansion, I will go first."

This made Yunci a little surprised.The girl in Xiyuan is pregnant, although she has no status, but Shen Yu is too... Yun Ci is not easy to comment, and said: "Alright, I will order Zhuying to send you back to Wenchang Hou Mansion."

"No need, the carriage of the Marquis Mansion has been waiting outside." Shen Yu said bluntly, took another look at him calmly, got up and left without further words.

Yunci insisted on sending Shen Yu out of Dongyuan, and did not turn back to the dining hall.It was clearly late at night, but he didn't feel like sleeping. The three master and servant were blowing the wind in the empty garden.

Gradually, Danxin started to yawn, and Yun Ci said to her when she saw this, "I have to leave early tomorrow morning, you should go back and rest first. Just have Bamboo Shadow to accompany me."

"Master... You should also rest early." Danxin was a little worried about Yunci.

Yun Ci waved her hand, turned to Zhu Ying and said, "Push me out for a walk."

Zhuying Qing knew that Yun Ci would be tossing and turning tonight, so she didn't persuade him much, and pushed him all the way out of Dongyuan.

The night is blurry, the moon is bright and silver, and the spring stream is cool and shimmering, just like three months ago.

At the same time and at the same place, there was once a girl who played the piano decisively here. The sound of "plop" cut through the ripples and stirred up waves in someone's heart, but it also made people realize later.

Yun Ci stared at the quiet night for a while, regretting that he had revisited the old place, so he said lightly: "Go back."

Zhu Ying remained silent, pushing Yun Ci back the same way.Seeing that it was getting late and the master had already relaxed his mind, Zhu Ying boldly asked: "It's getting late, my subordinate will serve you to rest?"

Yun Ci didn't make a sound.

Zhu Ying has followed Yun Ci for many years, and has already figured out his temper.If the master doesn't object, he will definitely respond. He still has something on his mind to keep silent now.

Zhu Ying hesitated for a moment, and then tentatively asked: "How about... go and say goodbye to Miss Chuxiu?"

This time, Yun Ci replied quickly: "No need."

Zhuying coughed lightly, and said with a dry smile: "You and Danxin have done other things, but this subordinate has not said goodbye to the girl from Chuxiu. Since we are going back to Fangzhou tomorrow, please allow your subordinate to go and say hello. "

After Zhuying finished speaking, she held her breath and waited for the next instruction.After a long time, I heard Yun Ci say "hmm", presumably after some mental struggle.

So, the master and the servant walked towards Hanchu's courtyard in silence all the way, but before they got close, they heard the sound of a zither and a zither.

Bamboo Shadow paused for a moment, and was about to push the wheelchair to move forward when he saw Yun Ci raised his hand to stop it.The two stopped in the night scene and listened attentively.

At the beginning, the melody is quiet, like an orchid in an empty valley, like a person playing a piano;
For a moment, the sound of the lyre gradually became thinner, the tone changed to mournful, and the resentment gradually arose;
Then, the same tone is repeated, and the heart is full of twists and turns, like complaining like weeping;

In the end, it turned into a swallow in the wind, heavy and depressing, with endless aftertaste, singing three sighs.

Yun Ci only felt that his heart was also turning a thousand times, and it was even more difficult to calm down than this old tune.

The person playing the piano is undoubtedly Han Chu.Earlier today, Danxin stuffed the piano into her arms, and trot away without waiting for her reaction.Hanchu had no choice but to carry the qin back to the house, and untied the silk covering the qin to see, she was pleasantly surprised.

This is an excellent piano, made of paulownia wood, with upper paulownia and lower catalpa, and the strings are even rarer to see.Han Chu sniffed it deeply, and could faintly smell a ray of agarwood, and then looked at the body of the piano, it has been a long time.

People who love the piano can't put it down when they see a good piano.Hanchu lightly touched the body of the qin, but felt the wood was warm and moist, the strings were slightly cool, and the sound of plucking was luscious, like a fairy sound.

Judging from her countless experiences of reading the piano, this piano must be an ancient relic, even if it is not worth a thousand gold, it is also rare in the world.

Such a precious guqin must not be owned by a mere servant.But that person didn't want to come out and leave his name, so Han Chu could only pretend not to know.

Mr. Yun has a noble character, is as rich as an enemy, and is more expensive than an emperor. This piano is like his identity, and he is different from Yunni. Even if he is a slave or a handmaid, it is a humiliation.And the only thing she can do is to comfort the rest of her life with the name "Chuxiu" to repay Mr. Yun's attention and kindness.

Thinking of this, Han Chu calmed down and unknowingly plucked the strings.The piano is a good piano, and the piano skills are impeccable. Coupled with the sincerity of the player who plays the piano, this piece of music is destined to be alluring.

Hanchu's slender fingers danced on the strings, and played a familiar old tune without thinking. She couldn't speak the lyrics, but she had already engraved them in her heart——

"The most important thing is that there are many things, things flow, and the two meet in the end.

Shallow love finally seems like, the cloud is uncertain, still in the dream soul.

Poor people, thinner than clouds, Jiahui is even harder.

Thinking about it carefully, there are many heartbroken places, which are not the same as this time. "[1]

Obviously, Yun Ci outside the courtyard had heard this song before and knew the lyrics.He listened silently, and when the last sound of the strings faded away, his emotions also returned.His gaze gradually changed from the initial regret, sadness, and emotion to understanding, admiration, and even concealed a touch of joy.

If he remembers correctly, in the libretto corresponding to this piece of music, there are two characters for "cloud" - the cloud is not fixed, and it is thinner than the cloud and water.

The first sentence of the libretto clearly catered to the scene when he and she met for the first time; the last sentence, isn't it the feeling in his heart at this moment?
At this point, Yun Ci finally understood why the girl had to resolutely sink Qin back then.How many people in the world can understand this state of mind and the meaning of the piano?I'm afraid most of them are here to listen to the excitement.

Yun Ci suddenly remembered the song "Zhu Xian Duan", in which a few lines about Han Chu's piano skills were very consistent with the sound of the piano tonight!I think back then, the girl took out the piety and emotion of that poem, and the phrase "Are there moths in the brothel?" What's more, the Ming government came to make trouble for no reason to find people...

In the blink of an eye, a thought quickly flashed across Yunci's mind. Some obscure things in the past were all played out by the sound of the piano tonight!
How many young women are there in this world who are extremely beautiful and good at piano?How can a girl from a poor family learn to play a good piano?unless……

Just this flash of thought has already made Yunci's heart fluctuate and he can't calm down.After a long time, he looked up at the moonlight and made a huge decision.

"Zhuying, go and check on a brothel girl." Yun Ci looked at the courtyard not far away from Chuxiu, and said commandingly, "Also, order me down, and I won't leave tomorrow."
