Chapter 16: The Wind Moves Bamboo Shadow and Jade Man Comes
Since everything he should know has been understood, Xizhi was too lazy to stay here anymore, so he smiled at Wen Rou: "I feel a little chest tightness, go out for some breath. If my cousin comes to me later, I will ask the girl to help me tell you."
Wenrou thought she was sad. She watched too many joys and sorrows in the joyful scene, and she was already numb and she was rarely bothered to care about these other people's affairs. She just smiled and nodded in agreement.
Seeing that no one on both sides noticed him, Xizhi took the opportunity to sneak away. The party was originally arranged in Fengyuan, and the scenery was already beautiful. Xizhi only glanced at him briefly when he came in. At this time, he simply walked in the garden and quietly enjoyed the night view alone.
There are many green bamboos in the wind garden. It is late autumn. The west wind is rustling, and the bamboo shadows are dancing, making rustling sounds. It sounds like the sound of waves and the drizzle of the night, which contrasts with the lively piano, flute and pipa not far away, but has a unique charm.
So I stood quietly in the bamboo bushes, closed my eyes and listened for a moment, and felt that I seemed to be in the quiet and deep West Mountain again. The boredom in my heart suddenly disappeared. I opened my eyes and looked up at the moonlight like water, sprinkling down on the branches, as if a layer of hazy blue smoke floated. I suddenly remembered two lines of poetry in my mind.
So he chanted in a loud voice: "The wind shocked the leaves as if they were hearing the rain, and the moon passed by the autumn branches seemed to bring smoke."
Just as I was filled with joy and immersed in this boundless beautiful scene, I suddenly heard someone behind me laughing: "What a wind that shocked the leaves as if they were hearing rain, and the moon passing by the autumn branches as if they were smoke. Mr. Yu is very happy."
Xi was shocked and turned around suddenly. He saw a man standing in the bamboo forest dozens of steps away. He was tall and could not see his appearance clearly. Xizhi was not familiar with these young men and had made some efforts. Now that he has achieved his goal, he is too lazy to socialize again. Therefore, he didn't ask who it was. He just said lightly: "I have seen this poem before, and I can't remember the source. When he saw it, he read a few words casually and laughed."
The man smiled loudly: "Haha... Why haven't I seen such a good poem before?"
"There are so many names and no surnames in the world. How could the young master have seen each capital?" Xizhi did not want to date him, so he was not polite in his tone.
"Young Master Yu is really quick to speak. Why did you run out? Do you think it's too noisy inside?" The other party was not angry, but he said goodbye without tactfulness, and still asked with a kind look.
This man was too entangled. Xizhi couldn't help rolling his eyes at him. Anyway, he was standing in the shadows, and he was not afraid of the other party seeing them. He simply replied: "Yu is a man from the mountains and fields. He is not good at speaking every day. He is really difficult to get along with all the nobles, so it is better to be more sensible and be quiet here alone."
He was so clear that the other party was still motionless and stayed there. Xizhi couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. This person was too much. Can't he hear that he was driving him away?
He made a face at him quietly and said helplessly: "Young master, if you have something to do, go ahead, I have to go there."
"No hurry, I was drunk a little and my head was a little dizzy, so I came out to have a breeze. You are here too, so let's talk quietly." The man chuckled twice before laughing.
Now Zi Xizhi was completely defeated by him. With such a thick-skinned person, what else can I say? Forget it, since I come, I feel at ease, and it’s okay to chat. So I sighed quietly and waited for his next words.
"I have never seen Mr. Yu on weekdays, but I heard your accent, but I am from Kyoto. Why haven't I gotten up at a distance before?"
Unexpectedly, the other party would mention this, Xizhi had a headache, so he said nonsense: "I live in the outskirts of Kyoto, but my family is too restricted and I am not allowed to go out to play on weekdays. This time I was just an excuse to visit relatives. I encountered an opportunity by chance, so I came over to take a look."
"How is it? Do you think this place is fun?" The man simply leaned lazily on the rockery, as if he was going to talk for a long time.
"It's not fun at all. You dandy guys only know how to drink and have fun, and have no intention at all." Anyway, they didn't plan to see these people again, Xizhi said bluntly.
"Haha..." The man laughed and his clear voice echoed in the night: "You really dare to say it, and you are not afraid of offending others."
"What are you afraid of? I just told the truth. What's so funny?" Xizhi was so angry that he was a little embarrassed and said angrily.
"Okay, okay... I won't laugh anymore... Haha..." Seeing that Xizhi was really angry, the man agreed repeatedly, but as he spoke, he couldn't help laughing out loud.
"You are still laughing!" Xizhi stomped his feet in shame and said angrily: "I won't tell you anymore, hum!" After that, he brushed his sleeves and turned around and walked into the rocks.
"Hey, you're really leaving..." the man shouted from behind. Seeing Xizhi's head go further and further, he couldn't help but touch his head in frustration and muttered to himself: "This little guy is really stingy, so he gets angry... Haha, it's interesting."
Under the hazy and dark night, Xizhi had already left without a trace. The man waited for a moment, but she didn't turn around. Then he shook his head and walked out of the bamboo forest. The lights in the corridor shone on his handsome and clear face. If Ruoxizhi was here, he would be surprised to find that the person he had said for a long time that he had been talking to today's banquet, the owner of the seventh prince Mu Jing.
He looked at the direction where Xizhi disappeared from afar, and then he walked towards the road.
After this fuss, Yaxing had already run away from the sky, and followed the bluestone path with a slight angrily angrily, walking aimlessly.
Xizhi was not a petty person. After walking for a while, he finally felt relieved. So he stopped and looked around, but found that he had no idea how far he had walked. The scenery in front of him was very strange and his style was very different from Fengyuan.
There are many plum blossoms planted here. Although it is not yet the season for flowering, the branches are vigorous and colorful, giving people a sense of vitality. With some strange-shaped lake stones, it is a bit elegant and clear. I guess I accidentally walked into another garden, so Xizhi didn't hurry. No matter how to go, it's right in the elegant garden anyway. Since I finally came here, I might as well appreciate it. I may not have such an opportunity in the future.
So he put his hands on his back, followed the way of those poets and poets, picked up a path and slowly walked on.
The path was winding and round, and after walking half a cup of tea, a water pavilion with a window appeared in front of me. I was about to go in and take a rest when I suddenly heard a low woman's moan inside, accompanied by some strange noises.
Xizhi stopped busy. Although he didn't understand what was going on, this place was a brothel after all. As a woman, he still didn't know something. He was about to turn around and leave quietly. Suddenly, he heard a man's voice laughing and said, "Baby, I really love your broken skin... Haha..."
This was so numb that Xizhi's face turned red when he heard it. He didn't even think too much, and quickly accelerated his pace. He was almost jogging all the way, and he walked far away without daring to look back. He didn't dare to look back, but he felt his heart pounding.
As I guessed it was far away, I stopped holding an old tree and gasped slightly. Thinking about my reaction just now, I couldn't help but feel a little funny. Why did it seem like I did something shameful?
As soon as the person calmed down, he suddenly realized that he was just running quickly and ignored the man's voice, which was very familiar. After thinking about it carefully for a while, he finally realized that the person was Chu Nanyu, the prince of Anning County Prince.
I was paying attention to his movements all night, so I had some impression of his voice. After thinking about it, my heart moved and quickly walked towards the lights. I soon met a little maid and led her back to the hall of Fengyuan.
The banquet in the hall was over, and there were not many people there, and most of them were drunk. Xizhi looked around and did not see Chu Nanyu. Even the Feixue girl who frequently sent him a secret message was gone. She felt more and more sure of her guess. It seemed that the eldest sister could never marry this person, otherwise he would definitely be countless concubines in the future. Qingzhi's honest and virtuous woman was not the opponent of those girls from brothels, and she would not have a life at all. But her grandfather and grandmother were obviously interested in this marriage. What should we do? Xizhi stood at the door as if he had lost his ground, dazed and dazed.
"Young Master Yu, what are you thinking? You're so trance." A joking voice suddenly sounded in your ears, as if it was very close to you, and even the breath you exhaled was blowing hotly in her ears.
Xizhi was shocked and raised her head in shock. Suddenly, her head was slapped on a hard chin. With a "bang", she burst into tears. She screamed "Ouch" and looked at the other party with her head in accusation.
"Oh, it's okay, why are you so reckless? How about you? Are you hurt?" The seventh prince Mu Zhang was amused again, and hurriedly reached out to support her again, asking with concern.
Seeing that it was the Seventh Prince, Xizhi felt embarrassed to get angry, so he had to pout aggrievedly, nodded at him and said, "It hurts so much, your jaw is too hard~"
Mu Zhang opened her hand, looked inside her hair, and couldn't help but scream: "No wonder you screamed in pain, you've gotten your bags, I'll rub it for you."
As she said that, she helped her to rub her without saying anything. The two of them were too close. Xizhi was petite and almost surrounded by him. The rich aroma of wine on Mu Zhang's body and some unknown smell of incense came to her nose, making her dizzy, and her little face was red with shame. She said hurriedly: "I... I won't work for the seventh prince anymore, it's okay..."
As he said that, he wanted to crawl under his arm. Unexpectedly, after he moved, Mu Zhang pressed her down and shouted in a low voice: "Don't move around, if you don't rub it, it will hurt even more later."
After hearing this, Xizhi did not dare to move anymore, so he had to stand there obediently and let him rub it on his head. His head felt empty and could not think of anything. Time seemed as long as it was still.
