cpa300_4(); She looked at me in a daze, and after a while, asked, "What did my mother do wrong?"

I looked at her black and white, clear eyes like a clear spring, looked at it for a while, and said with a smile: "There is nothing either." Do you still want to hear your mother play the piano?"

She nodded, "Yes." ”

"That mother will play another song for you. ”

"Good. ”

This time, I played the mustache for eighteen beats.

At the end of the song, my fingertips hurt slightly, after all, I haven't played it for a long time, and I am a little rusty, I gently twisted a few fingers, and when I looked down, I saw Li'er lying on the table, looking at the strings, but there was still a somewhat dazed look on his face.

I couldn't help but think she was a little strange, and asked, "Li'er, what's wrong with you?

She was lying on the edge of the table with her hands on the back of her hand, and at this time she raised her head to look at me, and suddenly said, "Mother, that person played me today, not these tunes." ”

“……”

That person - Pei Yuanhao?

Pei Yuanhao plays the piano for her?

Speaking of which, I don't seem to have seen Pei Yuanhao have such a leisurely and elegant time, it is true that his breath is low and introverted, even with a bit of anger, and it has nothing to do with things like Yale, so when Li'er talked about him playing the piano, I was stunned for a moment.

However, after all, he is a member of the royal family, and no one of the princes of the Heavenly Family can learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting well, even Pei Yuanchen, who I used to look down on, can also play with Huang Tianba.

It's just that it's a little unimaginable that Pei Yuanhao looks like playing the piano.

I asked, "What tune does he play?"

"I don't know the name, but—I'll hum it to my mother, okay?"

"Hmm. ”

I nodded, and Li'er began to hum.

The melody of the ancient song is already very jerky, and Li'er has probably only heard it once, so it is not too familiar, and the humming is intermittent, and it has been directly interrupted several times.

But, after listening to her hum for a while, I still understood.

Li'er stopped, then looked at me: "Mother, what's the name of this song?"

“……”

"Mother doesn't know?"

I thought for a while, and said softly, "Mother knows." ”

"What's it called?"

“…… Angelica. ”

"Angelica?" When Li'er heard this, her eyes immediately widened: "Isn't this a medicine?"

"It's a medicine, and it's also the name of an ancient song. ”

"Oh? And that's it, the name of the ancient song made with medicine. Who did that?"

"According to legend, it was a great general, but some people say that it was actually done by later generations to commemorate that great general, under the pretense of his name. ”

"That'...... What does that mean?"

One of my hands was still on the piano, my fingertips gently rubbed the strings, I thought for a long time, and finally my fingers were lightly hooked, the strings made a clanging sound, I looked down and smiled at Li'er and said, "It doesn't mean anything special." ”

She looked at me in a daze, and then looked behind me again: "Daddy." ”

As soon as I turned around, I saw Pei Yuanxiu walking in.

Behind him were a couple of maids, who saluted us as soon as they entered, and I saw that they had come to set the meal.

In fact, since I shared a room with him at sea, the two of us have deliberately reduced their movement with each other, and rarely eat together, especially these days, with these feelings, eating together is not only not a pleasant family relationship, but more like a kind of torture.

But since he has come, there is no reason to refuse.

It's just that when those maids were about to set the meal, they found that there was still the guqin on the table, so they didn't dare to move, and cautiously glanced back at Pei Yuanxiu.

Pei Yuanxiu also looked at the guqin.

I stood up, glanced at him, and gave me a faint order, "Put this aside." ”

"Yes. ”

Immediately a maid came forward, picked it up, wiped the table again, and then they began to set the meal, and the delicate, beautiful dishes were slowly set up on the table, and steamed, and the enticing fragrance of it filled the room.

"It smells so good. Li'er took a deep breath and praised.

Pei Yuanxiu said with a smile: "There are three sets of ducks you like, be happy." ”

"Hmm!"

Li'er nodded happily, Pei Yuanxiu looked at her and laughed, then raised his head to look at me, as if nothing had happened, and said, "Recently, our family hasn't had a meal together, and I want to come over to accompany you today." ”

I smiled faintly, "Okay." ”

So, without saying anything more, he sat down as usual.

I didn't eat much at noon, and in the afternoon, Pei Yuanxiu asked people to send some appetizing fruits, but I didn't touch any of them, although it was not early now, I still didn't have much appetite, and I wasn't hungry at all, but I didn't want to ruin their fun, so I took a small half bowl of rice and sat there to meet the occasion.

Pei Yuanxiu suddenly said, "Why don't you eat vegetables?"

I was stunned for a moment, looked up at him, and realized that he had been paying attention to me, and Li'er was putting vegetables in the bowl, and when he said this, he also looked at me.

I laughed a little: "I don't have a good appetite. I'll drink some soup and forget it. ”

After that, I was going to serve the soup, and the soup bowl was placed in front of him, and I had to get up to serve it. As soon as I stood up, he was already holding out his hand to me: "I'll come." ”

My hand holding the bowl paused slightly.

He was almost about to take my bowl, my hand retracted back, and said with a faint smile: "You eat yours, I'll come by myself." ”

After speaking, he picked up the soup spoon and filled a small half bowl of soup.

I can understand his intention to come to have dinner with me and Li'er today, after all, our two couples are not yet over, many things, maybe he still wants to redeem, and I haven't let go yet, but even so, although I can calm things down in front of Li'er, there is no excitement, and I still be a "loving couple" with him, but it doesn't mean that some things have passed like this, and I don't want to give him such an illusion.

I sat down with a bowl, the soup had been boiled for a long time, it was very fragrant and delicious, I took a small sip, I felt that Li'er was still looking at me, so I smiled and said, "Eat quickly, drink some soup after eating." ”

She nodded.

I raised my head again, looked at him who was a little pale, cleared my throat, and said, "When you finish eating, drink some soup, this soup is good." ”

He nodded.

After this meal, both of us ate very dullly, and when Li'er had finished eating, the maids came to clean up, and he was about to leave. I went to his door, and as soon as he walked out, he looked back at me and said softly, "I'm in the study tonight, and you—you rest early." ”

I nodded and said, "Don't stay up late, rest early." ”

He looked at me, his eyes flickering gently.

I avoided his gaze and turned away.

|

When night fell, I took Li'er to take a bath, and the two of them walked on the path between the bamboo forests refreshingly, the wind blew in with water vapor, and when the corners of the skirt were blown, the coolness rose from the ankles to the heart.

These days, it's rare to feel a little bit of comfort.

I originally wanted to stay here for a while, but when I looked down, I saw that Li'er's face was a little sad, as if she didn't have any energy, and the strange thing is that this time is usually the most noisy time for her, and she won't go to bed lightly if she doesn't toss for a long time.

Perhaps, it was the two days of going to Yangzhou to play that made her tired?

Thinking of this, I did not stay any longer, and took her back to the house, put a piece of insect repellent incense in the incense burner, and smoked it in the tent, and then put down the tent, and she slept in the place where it was inside, and as soon as she saw me lying down, she immediately turned over and rolled into my arms.

The weather is a little hot, and holding her like this, in fact, both of them are a little hot.

But the girl didn't seem to be enough, and one hand was across my chest, hugging me tightly.

I couldn't help but laugh: "It's so big, you still have to be guarded by your mother when you sleep?"

She didn't answer, just put her little face on my shoulder, blinking her big eyes.

After a while, I felt her cheeks burn against my shoulders, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead and the tip of her nose.

A cool breeze swept across her cheeks, and finally the temperature on her face was lowered.

However, she still kept her eyes open, and she had no intention of falling asleep.

The strange thing is that she has not been in any spirit today, and she also had a sad expression just now.

I smiled and said, "Why don't you sleep yet? Do you want your mother to sing nursery rhymes to coax you?"

She glanced up at me and said with a little resentment: "Mother, I have grown up." ”

As soon as I heard this, I couldn't help but laugh.

But in the smile, for some reason, there was a hint of sourness.

In fact, this sentence, how many boys, little girls will say this to their parents, people always want to grow up desperately when they are young, and they want to grow taller on tiptoe, and they always feel that when they grow up, they can get better, no worries, and no pains are far away from themselves.

But I don't know that growing up is the source of all troubles and pains.

I didn't say this to my mother in that shabby little grass hut, and even now, I still remember my mother's quiet smile at that time, and her almost transparent light-colored eyes that seemed to see through a qiē.

Is it the same as me now?

At that time, what kind of struggle and pain did she fall into?

I was thinking about it when I suddenly felt a little heavier in my arms, and when I looked down, Li'er stood up and lay on top of me, looking at me with wide eyes like a kitten begging to be petted.

I was a little puzzled by her gaze, and I couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, Li'er?"

"Mother," she looked at me and said word by word, "That person is my father, right?"
