The Golden Hairpin

Gongsun Yuan tried a few sword dance moves on the stage, then looked at Yin Luyi and asked, "But this?"

Yin Luyi nodded and pointed to the large gauze hanging behind and said: "I remember after two consecutive rotations, I entered behind the gauze."

Gongsun Yuan nodded and revolved according to her tempo. After the sword light flashed twice, she entered behind the screen.

Huang Zixian asked Yin Luyi: "Why did Aunt Gongsun forget her dance steps?"

"Oh... the sword qi she is going to dance tonight is completely free. It is a re-adapted one by A Ruan a few years ago. It is charming and gentle, without much sword qi sharpness, which is more suitable for such a scene." Yin Luyi said. , Looked at the scene in the water pavilion, and lifted a lantern into the screen. Gongsun Yuan's figure was just illuminated by the light on the screen, and her graceful figure in the dim light seemed to be more blurred than in the past.

Zhou Ziqin quietly said to Huang Zixia: "Actually, I think that if she wears a lighter dress, she might look better. When the two rotate, the skirt and the sleeves will fly, which must be the same as the goddess!"

Huang Zixian said softly: "They are good at singing and dancing, and there will be times when you want them but they can't? There must be other reasons, such as too light clothing that does not match the sword dance, or the clothing will block the sword when flying. Momentum or something."

"Well, you still think too much." Zhou Ziqin Xinyue convinced.

Seeing that it was not early, the two were worried that they would escape for too long and that it would be difficult to explain to the table, so they bid farewell to Gongsun Yu and hurried back to the table.

When I came back, the atmosphere was still so warm, the flattering watch was loyal, and everyone was very dedicated. Seeing that his father was one of them, Zhou Ziqin covered his face in pain and turned to the side, muttering to himself, "So I would rather stay at home and be with the corpse!"

Huang Zixia gave him an agreeable look very understanding.

Amidst the uproar of the house, only Yu Xuan sat quietly, his expression indifferent, as if he did not belong to this place.

Huang Zixian and Zhang Xingying changed positions, approached Yu Xuan, and asked him in a low voice: "Why are you free today?"

Could it be that Qi Teng was stimulated by Qi Teng, really going to Jiedu Mansion?

Yu Xuan nodded and suppressed his voice to a very low level. Amidst the tumult of the house, he almost couldn't hear him: "A person from Zhou Junshou sent me to invite me. I didn't want to come, but I thought... maybe I could see you."

She was startled, her eyes turned to Li Shubai involuntarily, and when she saw him talking with Fan Yingxi, she asked slowly, "Really?"

"Hmm..." He also seemed to be a little awkward, hesitated for a long time, and finally said again, "I want to ask you, how is the case of the righteous parents now?"

Huang Zixian lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said, "It just so happens that I want to ask you about Wen Yang."

"Wen Yang... is he related to this case?"

Huang Zixian looked at him calmly, her voice was also very quiet, as if uttering those words from her chest, "I suspect that the person who killed my parents is the same person who killed Wen Yang. ."

Yu Xuan's body suddenly shook, his eyes widened and his eyelashes trembled slightly. His voice trembled slightly, his throat was dry, and he tried to squeeze out a few words: "But Wen Yang, didn't he... commit suicide?"

"Do you believe it?" She looked at him.

Yu Xuan turned his face in a daze, staring at the cup in front of him, his voice dilapidated and dry: "I, I don't know...everyone said that."

"Do you usually interact with Wen Yang frequently? How much do you know about him?" Huang Zixia asked again.

He lowered his eyelashes silently, and said softly, "I told you before, but I met occasionally in the poem party reception, so I don't know much about it."

"So, whose relationship does he have a better relationship with?"

Yu Xuan's slightly confused eyes lifted slightly from under his eyelashes and looked at her: "I think, no one should be fine."

"So, who is Wen Yang poorly related to?"

Yu Xuan thought for a while, slowly raised her chin, motioned her to look at Qi Teng over there, and said, "Perhaps, you can ask Qi Teng."

Huang Zixian's gaze swept over Qi Teng, and she asked in a low voice, "He has a bad relationship with Wen Yang?"

"I once bumped into them arguing once in a while, Qi Teng seemed to be very despised Wenyang, saying that he...not to see anyone or something."

Huang Zixia thought, and asked, "What about the others?"

Yu Xuan said silently, "I only pass by occasionally. Why should I listen to others' corners? So I immediately walked away, only knowing that they had argued."

This kind of headlessness and brainlessness made Huang Zixia feel a little helpless. She gave up the questioning, turned her head to look at Qi Teng who was sitting on the left, but saw that he was holding a wine glass with a smile on his face, but the gaze fell on her, quite thoughtful.

Huang Zixia knew that as a person close to King Kui, but changing his position and whispering so close to Yu Xuan would definitely make him feel uncomfortable—because he had just mocked Yu Xuan this morning.

Huang Zixia smiled at him, returned to his original position, sat beside Qi Teng, and toasted to him: "Judge Qi, I respect you."

"I dare not dare... I should be respecting my father-in-law." He hurriedly toasted a glass of wine, and then asked with a smile, "My father-in-law and Yu Xuan know each other?"

"I have met Yu Xuezheng in Chang'an before," she said casually.

A weird smile appeared on Qi Teng's face: "Yes, I heard that Princess Tongchang is so blue-eyed."

Huang Zixia only lowered her head and twitched the corners of her lips, and said, "Really? I don't know about it."

He quickly pretended that he had failed to say something: "I just heard that... I don't know the surname of the father-in-law?" Although he met Huang Zixia the last time, Huang Zixia had been disfigured at the time, so he did not recognize her.

Huang Zixia said: "Lai Xia is surnamed Yang."

Qi Teng suddenly asked in astonishment: "Could you be... the father-in-law Yang who has repeatedly cracked strange cases by the side of King Kui?"

"Don't dare." Huang Zixia disgusted him, but in order to find out about Wen Yang, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Speaking of which, there was a recent case that involved judge Qi."

Qi Teng was stunned and asked: "What case? How could it... involve me?"

Huang Zixia looked at his expression, but just smiled. Qi Teng suddenly felt hairy, and he couldn't bear it anymore. He asked, "Is it...recently? Wenyang...that incident?"

Huang Zixia nodded and said, "Exactly, I heard that you are in the same poetry club, and you had a dispute with him."

"We had a quarrel, but then we have forgotten each other! What's more...what's more, what did I kill him for? He has nothing to do with me in the past and now has no enmity!"

Huang Zixian nodded and asked, "So, in your opinion, is there a reason why Wen Yang and Fu Xinruan died in love?"

"What..." He looked around, put his mouth close to her quietly, and whispered, "Daddy Yang, tell you the truth, if you ask me about this, even if you ask me the right thing."

Huang Zixia pretended to be surprised: "Really? Judge Qi knows the inside story?"

He sighed and whispered: "That Fu Xinruan is really beautiful."

Huang Zixian asked in surprise, "Judge Qi has seen it?"

"This year's spring, I occasionally saw it in Mingyue Mountain. At that time, when the spring was blooming, Wen Yang and her came back from the outing, and she immediately dropped one of the red tassels. I happened to be under the horse, so I picked it up and gave it to her. In the gap, I saw an unusually beautiful face..." Qi Teng said, sighed again, and shook his head and said, "It's a pity, it's a pity that the face is full of tears, and she was crying very sad in the springtime. I'm so sorry. I stayed for a while and thought to myself, why did such a beautiful woman cry like this when she went out for a walk with her lover? Unexpectedly... they would have been blocked in their love, and finally... actually ended up in such a bleak situation."

Huang Zixian frowned slightly, and said nothing.

"Oh, the love road is bumpy, the beautiful lady is dead, I regret it!" He said, and raised his glass to signal to her again.

Huang Zixia gave a lick and stopped talking to him.

Seeing that it was not early, everyone toasted together to celebrate Wang Kui, and then went to the Xiaoxie to watch singing and dancing together.

Singing and dancing artists have long been lined up by the water. Seeing them coming, the sheng, flute and pipa were all released, breaking the quiet night for a while, and it was very lively. When they were seated, there was another lotus dance. Twenty-four young and charming officials held lotus flowers in their hands and whirled and danced. It was very lively for a while.

Li Shubai, Fan Yingxi and Zhou Xu sat down in the front, Huang Zixian and Zhang Xingying waited behind Li Shubai, Zhou Ziqin and Fan Yuanlong sat behind Zhou Xu and Fan Yingxi, Wang Yun and Yu Xuan, Qi Teng, and several lieutenants of the Xichuan Army, the county guard Several counselors sat in the back.

The ensemble of shengxiao, the lotus dance was continuing, but Wang Yun stood up and walked towards the waterside steps behind.

Huang Zixia was pouring tea for Li Shubai, feeling his figure move slightly, and the light from the corner of his eye glanced at him.

But I saw Yu Xuan following him to the water's edge. In a harmonious atmosphere, the two of them walked to the pool, stood there, and stood side by side by the water.

Some doubts arose in her heart, and her hand eased.

Li Shubai also glanced sideways at the water's edge, and said in a low voice, "Go."

Huang Zixia looked at him in surprise.

"I am also curious. I want to know what the two of them will say together." He attached her ears and said softly.

One is her fiance, and the other is her former lover who made a lot of noise. Why did the two of them get together to talk?

Huang Zixia silently put down the cup in his hand, lightly stepped, and walked towards the side of the steps.

Said it was a wharf, in fact, it was just a tangy boat to talk about. The platform in front of the water pavilion is very large, but the pond is very small. There are a few water lilies planted in the big flower tank at the bottom of the water. The water in the pond is clear and swift. Under the lanterns hanging by the pool, the blue brick pattern on the bottom can be clearly seen.

The light clearly reflected the lines of the water waves on Wang Yun and Yu Xuan who were on the water's edge. Their bodies were sparkling, with a sense of transparency in the dark night.

There were only shrubs on the pier, Huang Zixia arched herself, just enough to hide. She didn't want to make herself eavesdropping when she walked to the water to be too obvious, so she stopped when she walked to the bush. Fortunately, the evening breeze was blowing. They were in the upper wind. Although they couldn't hear all of their words, most of them fell in her ears.

Wang Yun's voice came slowly in the wind, still the soft voice: "Fortunately meeting."

"Wang Duwei, lucky to meet." Yu Xuan's voice was cold and cold in the wind.

Wang Yun just smiled casually, and leaned on the railing and said, "Yu Xue has been living here for more than three years, right? You must be very familiar with everything here?"

Yu Xuan was silent for a long time before he said, "Yes."

"Although I am Zi Xia's fiance, I have never visited Shu County in the future and never set foot in the county where she lived. I have always regretted it before." He said, turning his head to look at him and asked , "I heard that when the accident happened, she lived in the garden. It should be the small building over there?"

He raised his hand to the small pavilion not far away, and when he saw Yu Xuan nodding silently, he smiled: "I am in the capital, but I often hear about her. After all-she is the fiancee I have been looking forward to for many years. Son, I naturally pay attention to it from time to time."

Therefore, both Yu Xuan and Huang Zixia know that he must be very clear about the rumors between them, and the details are exhaustive.

Yu Xuan bowed to him and turned around to leave.

"In the Jiedu Mansion these few days, I have heard the judge Qi talk about you. The Jiedu Envoy General Fan seems to appreciate you very much, and he also asked me if I know you." Wang Yun's voice was slow and calm. Slowly came from behind.

"Don't dare." Yu Xuan only said these two words in a low voice without making any other answer.

"I can only say that I am not familiar with you, but I have heard your name in Beijing, and I am a little impressed-after all, I really don't know Yu Xuezheng and cannot recommend you." Wang Yun smiled lightly and said, "General Fan seems to want to invite you into the mansion. I wonder if you intend it?"

Yu Xuan said: "Thank you Duwei Wang for your kindness. I met with judge Qi this morning, and he also mentioned this to me, but I have already declined."

"Oh? Yu Xue is not interested in official career?"

"Prosperity and wealth are not my wish, the emperor's hometown cannot be expected." Yu Xuan's voice was very low, but these two simple sentences carried unshakable determination.

Wang Yun smiled and said, "However, you are already involved in this huge vortex, do you still want to get out and leave?"
