Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

The music played and sung by Ximen Qing is not the Song Dynasty Shuidougetoucipai tune, but the modern version of the song "When will the moon shine".

Naturally, people in the Song Dynasty would not have heard such a tune, so Yue'er was full of amazement.It's really unexpected that the phrase "When will the moon be there" can still be sung like this?Why is this new song so beautiful?

But before Yue'er could ask a question, there was already applause from all around.

It turned out that this melodious song sung by Ximen Qing with the five-stringed ruan had already attracted many passers-by. They walked into this secluded alley one after another and listened quietly.It wasn't until the end of a song that they all applauded.

"Little lady, you just obey this gentleman!" There is never a shortage of good people in Tokyo, and some people booed in the crowd.

"Oh, such a handsome gentleman, and he can play the piano well. If my sister doesn't want it, let me. I will love this little gentleman." I don't know which bold girl has taken a fancy to Ximen Qing.

Seeing Ximen Qing and Yue'er hiding and singing in this secluded alley, everyone misunderstood and let out bursts of laughter.

Ximen Qing didn't answer, took Yue'er's hand and ran out of the alley, with waves of good-natured laughter behind him.

Yue'er's face was blushing, and she trotted along behind Ximen Qing. Her soft little hands were pinched so that her palms were sweating, but she was reluctant to break free from Ximen Qing's big warm hands.

Looking at Ximen Qing's back, Yue'er suddenly had a bold idea in her heart.I want to take him to see my sister, if my sister can be with him by fate, then Yueer also has a chance...

Ximen Qing pulled Yue'er and ran out of the alley, and they stopped together after hearing no noise behind them.

Ximen Qing turned around and looked at Yue'er, seeing the two blushes on her pretty face flying to the base of her ears, and the sweat on her forehead, she asked with concern: "Miss Yue'er, are you okay?"

Yue'er shyly took her little hand out of Ximen Qing's hand, and took out a champagne to wipe the sweat from her forehead, so as to hide her panic.

After a short rest, Yue'er resolutely looked up at Ximen Qing bravely and asked, "Ximen Langjun, did you compose that tune just now? Do you still have such a tune?"

Hearing Yue'er's question, Ximen Qing knew that today's hard work was not in vain, and he was afraid that something would happen.

Ximen Qing grinned at Yue'er, and said, "Miss Yue'er, I composed that piece of music, do you like it? I have made many pieces like this, and I can play them for you. Would you like to listen to them?" ?”

Yue'er heard the words, clapped her little hands and laughed, "Great! Mr. Ximen, listen carefully to what I have to say. Don't go to the tiles on Caomen Street. There are only mediocre people there. How can you catch up with me?" Shanglangjun. In Bianliang City, Tokyo, the people who are really good at melody and singing are all in Xiaoyu Street. And on that street, the elder sister of the Nu family is the best, and she is the best. How about the Nu family recommending you, sir. Go see my sister, sir, how do you think?"

Ximen Qing asked: "I am deeply impressed by Miss Yue'er's kindness! Who is Miss Yue'er's older sister?"

Yue'er approached Ximen Qing and said in a low voice: "Mr. Ximen, don't be surprised when I tell you about it. That elder sister of my family is Li Shishi, who is the best in singing and dancing in the capital. You must have heard of it, sir? How dare you, sir, have a meeting with that elder sister of my family? ?”

Ximen Qing finished his clothes and thanked him: "Miss Yue'er, if you are introduced, I will be very grateful!"

Chapter 1 and Four

Maid Yue'er brought Ximen Qing to Tushizi and bought some seasonal fresh fruits for Li Shishi.He was about to lead Ximen Qing back to Xiaoyu Street to find his way.

Seeing that there are many shops selling women's clothing in Tushizi, Ximen Qing bought two headgears for Yue'er.Yue'er didn't refuse either, and accepted it with a happy face.

Ximen Qing carried a basket of fresh fruits for Yue'er, and they left Tushizi together. After walking along Fanlou Street for a while, they turned into Xiaoyu Street.

When he was about to walk to the front of Li Shishi’s house, Yue’er stopped Ximen Qing, and said to him: “Mr. Ximen, send the slave’s family here today! Look, in front is the small courtyard where my sister and the slave’s family live. Tell my sister to help you meet your sister, sir. If you come here tomorrow, sir, you will wait for news from me at the Liuji tea house opposite."

Ximen Qing took a look, and the Liu Ji tea house Yue'er mentioned was exactly the tea house where he ate tea earlier.He nodded, handed the fruit basket in his hand to Yue'er, and after agreeing with Yue'er on how to deliver the news tomorrow, he turned and left Xiaoyu Street.

Yue'er watched as Ximen Qing turned around the corner and disappeared, then turned around and walked towards Li Shishi's house.

At this time, Li Shishi was burning animal incense in the room and practicing playing the piano and flute alone.After a while, the maid Yue'er entered Li Shishi's room with a plate of freshly washed fruits.

"Sister Yue'er, you're here!" Seeing Yue'er coming in, Li Shishi smiled at her.Li Shishi treats this personal servant girl like a sister, and treats her like his own sister.

"Sister, this is the fresh fruit I bought from the street today, try it, is it worse than the tribute in the palace?" Yue'er laughed and presented the fruit in front of Li Shishi.

"Sister Yue'er is making fun of my sister again? It's not like you don't know what my sister is thinking. Although the tribute fruits in the palace are good, they can't smell the smell of country soil. Sister, I still love the fruits sold in the market. freedom." Li Shishi picked up a fruit and showed admiring eyes.

Yue'er giggled and didn't speak.Seeing Li Shishi eating the fruit in his hand, she stood beside Li Shishi and softly hummed the song "When will the moon be there" that Ximen Qing played and sang.

Li Shishi is a person who is proficient in temperament and has a keen sense of tunes.Yue'er only hummed a few words, Li Shishi dropped the fruit in his hand, grabbed Yue'er and asked, "Sister Yue'er, what song are you humming? Sister, why have I never heard it before? Where did you listen to it?" here?"

Yue'er replied: "Sister, there is no name for this song, and my sister doesn't know what it is called. This song was played and sung by a strange man I met on the street when my sister went to the street today. The strange man It sang the lyrics of Su Xueshi's "When will the moon be there", but it didn't use the music score of the tune head, but this piece he composed himself."

"Sister, what are you talking about, his own new score? When did such an expert come to Bianliang, Tokyo!" Li Shishi didn't care about eating fruit. She placed the piano, paper and pen on the table, and asked Yue'er to play with her again. Hum it a few times.

Yue'er took the order and hummed to Master Li one by one.Li Shishi played the piano repeatedly until Yue'er couldn't hear the difference, and then she recorded them one by one on paper.

In this way, Li Shishi and sisters hummed one, and the other played the piano to record. After working for a long time, they just recorded all the scores of "When will the moon shine" in Yue'er's memory.

Li Shishi played the music score twice, and confirmed that he had never heard this music card before.She raised her head and asked Yue'er: "Sister Yue'er, do you know where the expert is now? Who is his name? Where is he from? My sister wants to meet him. If he is really proficient in temperament, my sister wants to worship him division."

Yue'er replied: "Sister, that person is a foreigner. I heard that he came to Bianliang, Tokyo, to find someone to learn rhythm skills. After he played a song on the street, he drifted away. My sister doesn't know what he is doing now. Where is it?"

When Li Shishi heard this, he sighed unceasingly, exclaiming that it's a pity, annoyed that he missed such an expert who is proficient in temperament.

Yue'er saw her, and chuckled on the side.Seeing this, Li Shishi immediately understood what this close maid, Yue'er, was hiding from him.

Under Li Shishi's repeated questioning, Yue'er told her that she had invited that strange person to come to her sister's house in Xiaoyu Street tomorrow for a while.

Seeing that his younger sister was teasing him, Li Shishi chased after Yue'er and gave him a punch, which made Yue'er repeatedly beg for forgiveness.

The two sisters quarreled for a long time, then Li Shishi remembered something, and asked Yue'er urgently, how old was that man, and whether he needed to treat him as a junior.

Yue'er leaned over to Li Shishi's ear and said: "Sister, sister, I think that Mr. Lang is about the same age as you. Sister, you should be on the same level as Mr. Li. Sister, Mr. Mr. Li is handsome and handsome, with extraordinary bearing! Sister You must be happy to see it!"

Li Shishi was secretly happy when he heard Yue'er say this, but he spat in his mouth: "Sister Yue'er is talking crazy things, how many young and handsome young men were there in Fanlou back then, sister, why have I ever looked at them? That man Can you still look better than Pan An?"

"Hee hee hee~ Sister will find out tomorrow!"

"Huh? It's strange today. How come my little sister Yue'er has become different from usual? Could it be that you and that gentleman have already had some shady affairs?"

"Oh~ my sister is making fun of my sister again. My sister has never done anything shameful with him."

Li Shishi and Yue'er laughed together again.

……

When Yue'er went back to have a private conversation with Li Shishi, Ximen Qing also returned to Gaoyang Zhengdian.

Tang Long went to Xu Ning's house in the class to study Yanling locket, Jiao Ting and Brother Qiao Yun also went out with Yulan, Ximen Qing was happy to be alone.

At this time, it's time to practice the five-stringed ruan again, so that I can go to meet Li Shishi tomorrow.Ximen Qing closed the door and practiced in retreat.

When the sun was about to set, several brothers and Yulan came back one after another.

After everyone had dinner together, Ximen Qing called Brother Qiao Yun into the room alone, and asked him, "Brother Yun, I'll share with you the sweat medicine you tried, have you tried it yet?"

Brother Qiao Yun replied: "Master, the Mongolian sweat medicine and antidote we found at Shizipo, I have paid for you in the past few days and tried it on several servants. After eating such a small bag of Mongolian sweat medicine, It is enough to make a person fall into a coma for two hours. After using the antidote, you can wake up in a short time. This medicine is very effective."

"The Sun Erniang and his wife used this medicine to do evil, so it is a good medicine. Brother Yun, prepare a few packs for me, and I will take it with me tomorrow." Ximen Qing said to Brother Qiao Yun.

After Brother Qiao Yun left, Yulan walked into the room obediently, had some tenderness with Ximen Qing, and helped him take a bath and rest.

Yulan is a smart person, although she already guessed that Ximen Qing's going out alone must be related to other girls, but she kept her mouth shut.
