Chapter 68: The Beauty Invites
It took a long time in the lobby of the inn to finally deal with the bunch of students who came to get acquainted, Xia Hongsheng went back to his house, and several students from Luanzhou Academy also passed, looking left and right, but Bai Jianzhi was missing.
"Where's Senior Brother Bai?" Xia Hongsheng asked with some confusion.
Xu Qixian gloated at Xia Hongsheng and smiled: "Haha, he was eliminated, he was angry, I guess I'm going to drink and have fun at this time!" ”
"I haven't asked yet, what is the final result of the poetry meeting?" Xia Hongsheng knew that Xu Qixian and Bai Jianzhi were not dealing with each other, so when he saw Xu Qixian's appearance, he didn't say anything, but just asked the final result of the poetry meeting. Since Bai Jianzhi has been eliminated, it is estimated that Xu Qixian and the others will also be eliminated, because their level is about the same, and no one is much stronger than the other.
"Alas, I finally made it to the last round, but the last round of questions was too difficult, and I was eliminated, and the final winner was that the student didn't belong to any college, he was self-taught, and he was a poor student. Senior Brother Wan sighed and said, "If Senior Brother Xia was here that day, the first place in this poetry meeting would definitely be from our academy." It's a pity ......"
"By the way, speaking of which, Senior Brother Xia, that day you said 'There will be a time when the wind and waves will be long, and the clouds and sails will help the sea', why didn't you finish the whole poem? Don't take the poems that don't improvise to deceive your brother, otherwise, the poems made by Senior Brother Xia will definitely be judged as the first! Xu Qixian asked Xia Hongsheng.
Xia Hongsheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "Since I didn't participate in the poetry club, if I took away the first place in the poetry club, wouldn't it be too unfair to other students?" Moreover, I was the kind of person who loved to be in the limelight, and the prince didn't know how crazy he was, so I had to go out and hide for a few days, I thought that I would not show up for a few days, and this matter passed like this, but looking at the way I just looked...... Alas! ”
Another student opened his mouth and smiled: "Also, Senior Brother Xia did not participate, and it was indeed inconvenient for that occasion." However, there are only a few of us left now, why don't Senior Brother Xia bring the whole poem and let me wait for you to see and understand? ”
As soon as this student's words came out, he was immediately echoed by several other people, and they all began to ask Xia Hongsheng to recite the whole poem, but Xia Hongsheng was resolute and kept silent.
While everyone was talking, they suddenly heard a voice outside the door and asked, "Is it Xia Jingshi Xia Gongzi inside?" The slave family came here, and asked the son not to dislike it, and to open the door. ”
Everyone in the room was stunned, and then several students laughed at Xia Hongsheng with a weird look.
Before Xia Hongsheng could speak, Xu Qixian unfolded the folding fan in his hand, walked to the door, and opened the door.
"Girl, my junior brother is in the house, please inside." Xu Qixian stood at the door, his air was magnificent, his posture was heroic, and his demeanor was elegant and polite, and he gave a salute to the woman outside, and pleased.
The woman outside confessed, then bowed back and entered the room. As soon as the woman entered the room, Xia Hongsheng recognized her, it was the woman who sang in Yixiangju that day and was almost bullied by the Turks.
"The slave family visited the son, and in Yixiangju that day, thank you to the son for coming to the rescue, and the slave family is grateful." When the woman saw that there was indeed Xia Hongsheng inside, her face immediately turned excited, and Ying Ying bowed to Xia Hongsheng and said.
Xia Hongsheng also bowed back, and said with a smile: "The girl is polite, I can't see that those Turks are arrogant and arrogant, and the girl doesn't have to mind." ”
"If it weren't for the son that day, the slave family and his sister would have been humiliated by the Turks, and in order to avoid humiliation, they could only fight to the death. Fortunately, Gongzi's song "Man Jianghong" repelled the Turks, and the kindness of Gongzi was unforgettable. The woman shook her head, took another deep breath, blushed, lowered her eyes, glanced at Xia Hongsheng secretly, and said to Xia Hongsheng in a hurry: "The slave family came here today to invite the son to appreciate his face and allow the slave sisters to chat and express their gratitude." After sunset, the slave sisters are waiting for their son in Yixiangju! ”
After speaking, the woman's face was full of clouds, and she turned around and ran out as soon as she stomped her feet, regardless of whether Xia Hongsheng agreed or not.
The woman ran out, but left Xia Hongsheng with a stunned face, and Xu Qixian and others who laughed in the back.
"Hahahaha...... Senior Brother Xia, the beauty invites each other, you can't shirk it, this is an elegant story! Xu Qixian stepped forward and grabbed Xia Hongsheng's shoulder and laughed.
"Exactly! Yes, extremely! Beauty is rare, Senior Brother Xia must not refuse! Senior Brother Wan also came over and patted Xia Hongsheng's shoulder and said, "Why don't I go with us, come to think of it, Senior Brother Xia probably doesn't have this experience!" ”
Why didn't you find Senior Brother Wan so cheap on weekdays! Xia Hongsheng rolled his eyes at him angrily, but heard Xu Qixian say, "Well, no." It was Senior Brother Xia who was invited, and I waited to do something, embarrassing Senior Brother Xia in vain! …… We can go with it and order a room next to it, haha! ”
Xia Hongsheng was suddenly angry: "Don't go!" ”
"Haha, junior brother is shy?" Xu Qixian was very unscrupulous and went up and hugged Xia Hongsheng again: "Don't worry, even if you tie it up at that time, you will be tied up for your brother!" ”
"Get out!" Xia Hongsheng pushed Xu Qixian away and almost kicked him. But although he said this in his mouth, he still had some joy in his heart, even if he was in the future to now, he has not been asked by the girl on his own initiative! What's more, she's still a pretty good-looking girl! This...... It's a little exciting to think about! 、
An afternoon was so short, it passed in a blink of an eye, and at dusk, Xu Qixian and others began to urge Xia Hongsheng to go to the appointment quickly.
Xia Hongsheng half-pushed, walked out of the inn, and walked towards Yixiangju. After walking a distance, he felt that someone seemed to be following him, and when he looked back, he didn't see anyone coming. walked forward for a while, and the feeling of being followed still did not disappear, so he suddenly accelerated his pace, walked forward for a distance, and turned back suddenly, and saw Xu Qixian and others in the distance hiding in a panic in the shop next to him.
I'm really coming! Xia Hongsheng was suddenly angry, rolled his eyes helplessly, and continued to walk forward.
When I arrived at the door of Yixiangju, I was thinking that I didn't know where they were, when I heard a crisp voice coming: "Young Master Xia, here!" ”
Xia Hongsheng turned his head to look and saw that the woman was standing at the door waving to him. Xia Hongsheng couldn't help but be speechless, fortunately, this is the Tang Dynasty, and it is the most civilized dynasty in Chinese history. However, even in the Tang Dynasty, such women are rare, and they want to make a living as singers, so they have to be more open than ordinary women.
Xia Hongsheng followed the woman up to the second floor and arrived at the door of a private seat, a woman who was stroking the qin that day was standing by the door and opened the bamboo curtain for Xia Hongsheng, Xia Hongsheng was slightly stunned, but he saw that there was another plain-clothed woman sitting in the elegant seat.
"Mr. Xia, this is my young lady." The woman who stroked the piano that day said softly to Xia Hongsheng: "Miss has been waiting for a long time, Xia Gongzi, please!" ”
Xia Hongsheng frowned slightly, and walked into the elegant seat, but he sat cross-legged in front of the desk, and it was too uncomfortable to sit on his knees.
The woman was wearing a veil, and she couldn't see the appearance and expression on her face, Xia Hongsheng saw her, and he understood, this meal, I'm afraid it's not just to thank himself for saving the two women. What will be the identity of the person who is called Miss Himself by two women who sell songs? How could a young lady from a big family let her maid come out to sing?
The veiled woman on the opposite side knelt down, leaned forward and bowed to Xia Hongsheng, and said: "Xia Gongzi's song "Man Jianghong" shook away the Turks and saved Qiao'er Pan'er, the two of them have been with the slave family since childhood, like sisters, the slave family is grateful, and now they are served with a glass of turbid wine, and they also hope that Gongzi Haihan, don't blame the slave family for being abrupt. ”
Her voice is so nice. This is Xia Hongsheng's first feeling. It's not a delicate and tactful voice, but it sounds slightly cool, which seems to be able to shock people's hearts, and it is cool all over, like a slight cool night breeze blowing in the hot summer, clear and beautiful, with a hint of heroism.
Xia Hongsheng took the wine bottle, drank it all in one gulp, then put down the wine bottle, and said: "The Turks are arrogant, how can they be allowed to bully my Han family woman?" This is what should be done, and now that the wine industry is drunk, the girl's gratitude has been understood, and there is no need to be so polite. ”
"Gongzi is famous, and it is spread all over Los Angeles, and it is a blessing for the slave family to be able to be at this banquet with Gongzi." The woman leaned forward and filled the wine bottle in front of Xia Hongsheng: "Son, please drink." ”
Xia Hongsheng smiled: "Wait." The girl invited me to come to see me, thinking that it was not just as simple as thanking me, right? came down to accept the invitation, but the girl herself covered her with a veil, and she didn't know how to be honest with others, so that she could be treated sincerely? ”
The woman was stunned for a moment, but sat back again, bowed apologetically, and said, "Wearing a veil, I don't want to cause trouble on the road, and I don't want my son to judge people by his appearance." But it was the slave who was rude. ”
Judge a book by its cover? Is this girl ugly?
Xia Hongsheng thought about it, but saw the woman opposite raise her hand, gently twisted the veil from the side of her face, and took it off.
As soon as he saw it, Xia Hongsheng only felt a bang in his head, the sky was spinning, his mouth was dry, and he couldn't say a word.
There is a wind outside the window, a plain white robe blowing with the wind, indescribably elegant and quiet, eyebrows and posture, as if finely carved, but natural, looking down on the clear stream, calmly, but between the eyebrows there is a trace of distant loneliness, like a wilderness smoke tree, like a hollow valley orchid, obviously smiling, but people feel a trace of coldness, just like the melting moonlight.
Xia Hongsheng's mind was blank, everything in heaven and earth was dead silent, only to hear his fluttering heartbeat getting louder and louder, faster and faster, and he was stunned for a while, as if there was only one sentence left between heaven and earth: clear water out of hibiscus, natural carving......
