Queen's New Clothes

Chapter 48
The scenery of the back mountain is beautiful. There is a clear stream on the top of the mountain. The stream winds down and passes the pavilion halfway up the mountain.

Su Xi and Yin Qiqi walked unhappily, watching the surrounding scenery while walking, and walked for half an hour without knowing it.

"Sister Xi's physical strength is really good. We have been walking for so long, and I have stopped and rested several times, but you are fine." Yin Qiqi walked more and more slowly, it was obvious that she said she was going to take a walk in the back mountain , but now she is the first to die.

Su Xi stopped to wait for her, and said with a smile in her voice, "I usually like to walk around, this way is nothing at all, sister Qi should also walk around more on weekdays, it's good for your body."

Yin Qiqi nodded her head and said hello, took out her handkerchief and wiped her sweat again.

Su Xi saw that she was really exhausted, so she said kindly: "Sister Qi, if she really can't walk anymore, why don't we go back. Anyway, I have seen the scenery, and it will be the same if I continue walking. If you are exhausted, your body will not be good. .”

Yin Qiqi shook her head, supported the maid's hand for a rest, insisted: "Let's go up, I heard that there is a gazebo above, it should be not far away, we can sit there and rest for a while. "

Su Xi looked up the mountain. The vegetation was verdant and there was no gazebo to be seen. It was not far from them.Isn't it better to go down the mountain at this time?Why do you have to go up?Doubt flashed in Su Xi's eyes, and she asked, "Can sister Qi still walk?"

Yin Qiqi forced a smile, nodded and said, "I'll walk slowly behind, sister Xi don't need to worry about me, you go up first."

Su Xi glanced at her, but in the end she didn't walk too fast, and walked slowly in line with Yin Qiqi's footsteps.Yin Qiqi took two rests during the period, her physical strength was really not very good, she must have not exercised much in the boudoir, but after a while, her face turned as white as a sheet of paper.

Su Xi asked twice to go down the mountain and go back to the other courtyard, but Yin Qiqi refused both times, and said the same thing: "Let's go again."

Su Xi was very puzzled. Seeing Yin Qiqi's appearance, she was too tired to speak. Why did she insist on going up the mountain?

After half an hour, I finally saw an octagonal pavilion.

Su Xi walked into the gazebo before they climbed halfway up the mountain, about halfway to the top of the mountain.

The view here is excellent, looking around, you can see the entire scenery of the back mountain.I saw the lush and lush valleys, surrounded by mountains and water, which made people feel refreshed.

This is indeed a good place to see the scenery, no wonder Yin Qiqi wants to come up no matter what.

"Has sister Qi been here?" Su Xi turned around and asked.

Yin Qiqi has been sitting on the fence to rest since she came to the gazebo, her expression has finally eased up a bit now, her eyes flickered slightly when she heard this, and said: "I came here by accident once before, and saw the beautiful scenery here, so I wrote it down. "

Su Xi didn't think too much, took a deep breath of the refreshing mountain air, and said with satisfaction: "It's really a good place."

Su Xi looked at the surrounding scenery, turned around and saw a guqin on the stone table, and looked carefully, and saw that the body of the piano was black, with a faint green under the sun, and said in surprise: "Green Qi violin?"

Yin Qiqi smiled and said, "Sister Xi really recognizes this piano."

Su Xi was astonished.How could she not know each other? Lu Qiqin is one of the four famous pianos. She has only seen it on the music score, but she has not been lucky enough to see the real piano.

It's just that such a precious piano, why is it randomly placed in the pavilion in the mountains?

Yin Qiqi saw her doubts and explained: "This piano has been placed here for decades. It is said that someone watched it secretly, and no one could take it away. Once someone wanted to steal the piano, but it was still there. He died before reaching the bottom of the mountain."

The last time when Yin Qiqi saw this qin by chance, she was also moved for selfishness. She originally wanted to take this qin home, but before she stepped out of the pavilion, she felt that there was a dark gaze staring at her closely. The horse going up the mountain was startled, and several servants were shot in the hands and feet inexplicably.She didn't dare to act rashly anymore, so she had to put the piano back.

Now, Yin Qiqi looked at Su Xi, then glanced at the top of the mountain without any trace, and said, "Sister Xi said she was willing to play the piano for me last time, why don't you take advantage of today's opportunity and play a piece? Okay." Let me also listen to Mr. Gu's disciple's piano sound."

Although Su Xi liked the qin, when she heard that someone was watching it secretly, she hesitated and said, "This is not good... this qin has an owner, how can I move other people's things without authorization."

Yin Qiqi smiled and said: "Sister Xi doesn't know. The person guarding the qin is not the owner of the qin. I have heard that if someone's qin sound is recognized by the person guarding the qin, not only will he not blame him, but he will I will deliver this violin myself."

Having said that, Su Xi was a little moved.

The green qiqin has an excellent tone, and it is a good piano that every piano learner wants to own, and Su Xi is of course no exception.

Su Xi hesitated for a long time, but finally she couldn't resist the temptation of the famous qin. She stepped forward to try the strings, and then sat down behind the green qiqin.

This end, the top of the back mountain.

There are several men sitting on both sides of the stream on the top of the mountain, playing "Qushui Liushang".

Perhaps because of the hot weather this year, there are more aristocratic families coming to the Xijiao Bieyuan to escape the summer heat than usual.In addition to Prince Jin's Mansion and General's Mansion, people from Governor's Mansion, Duke Zheng's Mansion, and Duke Qing's Mansion also came.

Su Zhen exiled a small black lacquered tray above, on which was a glass of wine, and the wine glass flowed down the stream, and whoever stopped in front of it had to drink the glass of wine.

I saw the small black lacquered tray meandering all the way being washed by the water, and finally stopped in front of Li Yan.

Li Yan was straightforward, picked up the white jade wine glass on the tray and drank it down in one gulp, without changing his expression.

"Okay!" Su Yu applauded.

Then the second glass of wine stopped in front of Lu Jianghuai.

Lu Jianghuai was not a coy person either. He drank a lot more wine when he joined the army with his father Lu Chi, and he finished a glass very happily.

After playing for a few rounds, Su Zhen lost interest and said, "It's not fun just to play like this. It would be great if someone is there to cheer for you. Play a tune or something, and you can have a drink."

Someone echoed: "Brother Su is very right, why don't I ask someone to invite the little Huangying from Youfangyuan, and let her play and sing a song for us?"

Little Huangying is the number one singer in Youfangyuan, and the tunes she sings are very melodious and melodious, comparable to Huang Ying, hence the name.

Su Yu jokingly said: "This place is tens of miles away from the capital, and I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to go back and forth. When Brother Li invites Xiao Huangying over, our 'Qushui Liushang' will be gone."

As soon as the man thought about it, he gave up such a thought.

After thinking about something, the person called Brother Li smiled, and said again: "I heard that Miss Fu was also escaping the summer in the mountain villa. At the birthday banquet of Princess Shouchang, Miss Fu's piano sound was really wonderful. , since I heard it, there is no other piano sound that can compare with it."

Su Zhen deeply agreed, "Miss Fu's piano sound is really nice. Even if I have learned the piano for seven years, I'm afraid I can't play it as well as Miss Fu."

It so happened that Fu Shaoyun was also present today.Fu Shaoyun was sitting on the other side of the stream. Hearing this, he only slightly raised his eyebrows, smiled, and did not answer.

That brother Li talked about the rise, and he was very eloquent, "I wonder if brother Shaoyun can invite Miss Fu to come? Let me wait until I have my ears full, and then listen to the beautiful piano sound."

All the people here are men, so it is not appropriate to invite such a sincere invitation.Fu Shaoyun squeezed the cup in his hand, and declined politely: "Little sister is not feeling well today and is resting in the villa. I'm afraid I will disappoint Brother Li."

The man showed regret, obviously not realizing that there was something wrong with his words.

Su Yu came over to smooth things over, and said, "Brother Li, what you said is wrong. It must be something that is hard to find to be called wonderful. If it is so easy for you to hear it, then it will not seem precious."

As soon as the man thought that this was the reason, he cupped his fists at Fu Shaoyun and said: "It was Li who was rude just now, I hope Brother Shaoyun will not take it to heart."

Fu Shaoyun saluted back and was about to speak when he suddenly heard a short zither sound coming from the valley.

Everyone stopped drinking, apparently they all heard the sound of the piano.Because the valley is empty, the sound can be transmitted very far. From the mountainside to the top of the mountain, the sound of the piano is clearly transmitted.

I just tried the sound of the piano just now, and after a while, the sound of the piano really sounded.

The beginning of a song is like flowing clouds and flowing water, as if a picture scroll is spread out in front of you.

Holding the cup, Fu Shaoyun listened to the sound of the piano.The sound of the piano is a little soothing at the beginning, like a stream in the mountains, gurgling past the eyes, relaxed and freehand, which makes people's mood soothed, like running water flowing through the body, making people relax involuntarily.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of the piano gradually turned higher, like flowing water melting into the rushing sea, surrounded by undulating mountains, the momentum is huge and magnificent.This magnificence is neither heroic nor uninhibited, but a kind of indescribable freedom and ease. Listening to the sound of the piano, I feel my heart is open, and I want to throw the wine glass in my hand into the sea and drink with the world.

Exactly in response to that sentence——

When will I go back and be an idler, with a pot of wine, a qin, and a stream of clouds.

The piano sound reached the highest point and stopped abruptly.Fu Shaoyun was in a daze, he waited for a long time but did not wait for the sound of the piano to sound again, after being shocked, he felt a burst of strong regret, he wanted to hear the sound of the piano continue, and even more wanted to know who was playing the piano.

Fu Shaoyun raised his head and looked around, seeing that other people were also stunned by what he heard, and he still hasn't come to his senses.

Su Zhen was even more exaggerated, she didn't even realize that the cup in her hand was dropped.

After regaining his senses, he quickly stood up, walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down the mountainside.

Fu Shaoyun, Lu Jianghuai and others followed closely. Li Yan stood there and hesitated for a moment, then followed to see.

In the gazebo halfway up the mountain, a girl in a water-blue blouse was sitting behind the piano. Because the distance was too far, her face could not be seen clearly. She could only see from her figure that she was twelve or three years old. year old girl.

Being able to play such a majestic piano sound, knowing that the other party is a girl has already shocked the group, but seeing that she is still a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl is really shocking.

However, I have to admit that the sound of the piano is really wonderful.

Even Fu Yi might not be able to play this kind of music.

Su Zhen said convincingly: "I didn't expect this kind of piano sound to exist in the world, it's because I'm ignorant."

Just now the man called Brother Li said: "I thought Miss Fu's piano sound was perfect, but I didn't expect that there are people beyond people, and there are mountains beyond mountains..."

Fu Shaoyun said nothing, because he recognized the little girl's figure.

Maybe it was too familiar, so after just one glance, he was sure that the person playing the piano was Su Xi.

Su Zhen squinted his eyes, looked in the direction of the pavilion, and suddenly asked: "Is that pavilion where Lu Qiqin is placed?"

"In my opinion, only the sound of this kind of qin can be worthy of that good qin. Just like when Bole meets Maxima, the person who keeps the qin will definitely give the green qiqin to him."

Su Zhen didn't speak, presumably he agreed.

On the top of the mountain on the other side, Wei Yan stood under the welcoming pine, wearing a loose coat with his hands behind his back, looking at the gazebo at the foot of the mountain.

Wei Yan stood slightly higher than Su Zhen and the others, so their conversations were transmitted to his ears verbatim.

On this end, Su Xi stopped playing halfway through.

Lu Qiqin is indeed one of the four famous pianos, she can play it very well, but she can't continue to play it, and she is reluctant to let go of it after playing it again.Su Xi looked at Yin Qiqi who was at the side, smiled and said, "Sister Qi, let's go back."

Yin Qiqi looked at Su Xi for a long time and couldn't regain her senses.In fact, she brought Su Xi here on purpose, because she knew that Fu Shaoyun and Li Yan were at the top of the mountain, and she deliberately let Su Xi play the piano here, just because she couldn't get used to people praising Fu Yi in front of her. The sound of the piano is beautiful.If Su Xi played well, she would be able to compare Fu Yi and silence those people from now on; if Su Xi played poorly, she would not be harmed at all.

But Yin Qiqi did not expect that Su Xi's qin skills would reach such a level.

Yin Qiqi looked at Su Xi's beautiful and delicate face, and then thought of her gradually revealed talent these days, her mood was very complicated for a while.
