Qi Wuhuo went back with the jade pillow in his arms and lay down on the bed. As soon as he closed his eyes, he fell asleep. The jade pillow was hollow. In a daze, he saw that the hollow part of the jade pillow was getting bigger and bigger. It gets bigger and bigger, and suddenly it can accommodate itself.
Qi Wuhuo felt like he was falling into the abyss, and broke out in cold sweat.
When I was vague, I seemed to open my eyes, but I saw that it was already dusk, but I had slept for a long time. It snowed heavily outside, and the whole world was silent.
Qi Wuhuo raised his hand and pressed his forehead. He thought for a long time before he came back to his senses. When he looked aside, he saw that the package was still there. It contained books, clothes, and coins. Then he remembered that Mr. Su had sent something earlier. , I was alone at home and fell asleep.
It really shouldn't be.
There is no need to mention food and drinks that day.
With the copper coins given by Mr. Su, Qi Wuhuo finally didn't have to go to the town to do odd jobs in exchange for money during this winter, so he had more time to study hard. In addition, the knowledge annotations in the books were very detailed, making progress Faster.
At the beginning of next spring, Mr. Su recommended it.
Qi Wuhuo won the first place in the spring examination, and his fame spread all over the world. He bid farewell to Mr. Su and went to study in the city. After another three years, he also won the autumn examination in one battle. His diction was sophisticated and his pen was sharp. His reputation spread throughout the country. , moving the state and county government.
All the people who come and go are from high-ranking families and are descendants of aristocratic families.
Even state officials treated him with courtesy.
It's just that Qi Wuhuo has an upright character and is unwilling to accept support from aristocratic families in life.
Even if there was a wealthy family who took a fancy to his talents and wanted to bet on him in advance and adopt him as the main branch of the family, they were unwilling to do so. Those girls who flirted with each other met a stupid person, and they were naturally resentful and refused to pay attention to him from then on. .
And Qi Wuhuo also had a reputation in the literary circles as "he is not lewd, if he is not a gentleman, he is Long Yang". Every time the girls from the aristocratic family talked about it, they all laughed, and many of them expressed dissatisfaction with him in their laughter. Xie Fengqing secretly gritted her teeth.
Some friends asked, and Qi Wuhuo answered doubtfully:
"It's just that I have never met anyone who is in love with each other."
"If I am really a good person like Long Yang."
"You will be in trouble."
His friend's face turned pale. Cover your hips with your hands and travel several miles.
Later, he went to Beijing to study. The place where he lived was also very remote, close to the surrounding mountains. One day, he suddenly woke up from his sleep. Just as he was wondering, he heard a knocking on the door.
After all, this is the edge of the outer city of the capital. Those gangsters with high martial arts skills, or Buddhists and Taoists who know some magic skills, after all, have some skills and can come here.
Someone who comes from this point is definitely not a normal person.
Qi Wuhuo, who was already seventeen years old, stood up with his sword in hand. He clasped the sword behind his back with one hand and gently opened the door with the other hand. He thought there was a thief outside, but when he looked up, he was slightly startled.
The person standing under the moonlight was clearly a girl who was only sixteen or seventeen years old.
Wearing Tsing Yi, her expression is elegant. When Qi Wuhuo opens the door, she salutes immediately. Her lips are red and her teeth are white, her smile is full of smile, and her skirt is flowing. Her elegance and beauty are even three points higher than those of the ladies from aristocratic families, and her temperament is not to mention elegant. .
Qi Wuhuo was traveling alone to study. Mr. Su taught him swordsmanship. He had killed people with the sword in his palm. He also encountered ghosts while studying in an ancient temple. He studied at a young age and nourished his energy. He was not afraid. He just raised his hand and said,
"Miss I don't know, I knocked on the door in the middle of the night. What's the reason?"
The beautiful young girl pursed her lips and smiled and said,
"I can't afford to be treated like this by a gentleman. I'm just a maid."
"My young lady has been hearing the gentleman's talk for a long time, but today I heard it. When I saw the young master playing the piano in peace and quiet, I felt so happy that I couldn't help it. I was willing to meet him and have fun with friends. But I didn't know if it was presumptuous, so I asked him to come down and ask."
Qi Wuhuo knew something was wrong, and raised his eyes slightly to look at the moonlight. .
Thinking in his heart, he thought that a monster had come to his door, and it was too late to hide away, so he laughed to himself and said, "I have my wish, but I dare not ask my ears. I am waiting here. I wonder when and where will I meet my lady?"
"Pfft, Gentleman, don't be suspicious. It's today."
The woman in green smiled, then walked away. Qi Wuhuo pondered for a long time, wearing a green cloth robe, sitting on the stone table outside the door, with the mountains not far away, closing his eyes and meditating. , the long sword was placed across his knees, the sound of the wind was still there, and the bamboo forest was whistling. Although he knew he was a stranger, he was absolutely not afraid at all.
After a while, I heard someone coming.
Qi Wuhuo slowly opened his eyes, the sword in front of his knees whistling slightly.
Even if he was prepared, he was still slightly surprised by the array of people coming. Under the moonlight, there were hundreds of people coming, all wearing silk and satin. A sedan was carried over, and there were maids holding lamps in front and behind, all of them were bright and moving. , wearing jingle bells, and on one side of the sedan is the girl in green clothes whom I saw earlier, with a smile on her lips.
The place where Qi Wuhuo lives is already on the edge of the entire outer city of the capital. It is said to be an outer city, but in fact it is just a gathering place surrounding the capital. It is close to the mountains and has water flow. These visitors have decorated many luxurious things here and paved the way. There were blankets made of the furs of three hundred kinds of precious exotic animals, as well as many spiritual fruits, fine wines, and delicacies, making it look like a banquet place for dignitaries.
Even the spring outing banquets of state and county governors are not so extravagant.
Qi Wuhuo was a little surprised, but his face didn't change color and he sat down calmly.
The [young lady] did not come down, but just said: "I have been at home for a long time. I heard the music of the young master today, and I felt happy in my heart. The reception was so humble, and I hope that the gentleman will not dislike it."
After a while of greetings, the young lady was only in the sedan chair, Everyone played the piano and played several pieces of music. Qi Wuhuo didn't like playing the piano, but Mr. Su said that a gentleman has to learn the six arts. He was forced to learn them, and he heard many of them. This young lady, who sounds young, has such a melodious sound. Qingyue was actually the best he had heard so far during his study tour.
After that, Qi Wuhuo used words to test, but this faceless girl was smart and astute, and she often made eloquent remarks. Her vision and judgment of today's world situation were all accurate, and she was even better than Qi Wuhuo's teacher. .
The young lady seemed to be shocked by some of Qi Wuhuo's words, sighing from time to time.
The two got along very well during their conversation, and before they knew it, it was already sunrise before they parted. At that time, with the sun rising in the east and the mist in the forest, Qi Wuhuo held a long sword and sent the woman away in a sedan chair, thinking for a long time.
After that, the girl came often, always when the night was dark, and would leave when the sun rose. This had been going on for several months, and Qi Wuhuo gradually let down his guard and played the piano from time to time. , sometimes take time to chat, and have this good friend to discuss with each other, and his knowledge and understanding of the world will gradually improve.
I also knew in my heart that this girl was definitely an ordinary person.
But even though he is not of my generation, he is upright and upright, so it doesn't matter.
On the 15th night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, after drinking tea and chatting a few words, Qi Wuhuo was tuning the piano.
Suddenly, the beautiful maid in Tsing Yi smiled, listened to a few words, and chuckled. Hercules brought thick blankets and spread them on the ground. Immediately, the girl in Tsing Yi raised her eyes and glanced at Qi Wuhuo with a sly smile. Toying with it, he held a golden and jade Ruyi in his hand, leaned over and hooked the curtain with Ruyi, and gently opened the sedan curtain.
Qi Wuhuo was playing the piano by himself. He was originally as calm as water, but when he saw this, he was surprised and the music of the piano paused slightly.
The noise has not stopped, but the people in the sedan have already come out.
The green-haired Shuiyun walked gently on the carpet, and her voice was soft, yet elegant, and she joked:
"Why is the piano sound messy without any confusion?"
