Qin Xiqing gently stroked the strings of the piano and played with it to make sounds. Where the piano sounded melodiously, a song rippled out. It turned out to be an ancient song called "Zi Jin".

"Green Zijin, Youyouwoxin."

"Even if I don't go, Zi Ning will not inherit the sound?"

"The Qingqingzi Pendant makes me think about it for a long time."

"Even if I don't go, Zi Ning won't come?"

"I'm looking for you, I'm at the city gate. If I don't see you for one day, it's like I'm missing you for three months!"

Fang Zian lowered his head to listen to the music, and felt the emotion in the music. Unconsciously, he raised his head to look at Qin Xiqing, but he happened to look into Qin Xiqing's affectionate eyes. Fang Zian's head suddenly shook, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

This ancient poem talks about the resentful words of a woman who misses the man she likes. "A day without seeing each other is like March!" Only if you like the other person can you feel this way. When they met just now, Qin Xiqing once said to her

I remember so clearly that I haven’t seen her for many days, and I blame myself for not coming to see her. Isn’t that exactly what this poem is about? Could it be that... she likes herself?

Impossible! Fang Zian quickly rejected this ridiculous idea. He was afraid that he was overthinking it. Did he really think that he was a piece of cake? There were so many young talents like Qin Xiqing that he had seen. She was better than herself and had a noble birth.

I don’t know how many people she has made friends with, so how could she like herself? Apart from writing a few poems for her, there is no reason for her to like him. Isn’t it because of Prince Pu’an that she made friends with him?

?Besides themselves, they should have also been looking for many other young talents who were considered promising and useful. That was just her as an assistant to Prince Pu'an, looking for future power for the prince. She also thought too much.

When did I become so arrogant and arrogant? I really think of myself as the number one person. Although I am indeed different from others, in the eyes of others, I am just a person who can write a few good lyrics. It is possible that

They are just ordinary people who can pass the imperial examination.

Fang Zian shook his head mockingly and picked up the wine glass to drink. But when he saw the yellow-orange amber honey in the wine cup, he thought again: But... Could it be that all the things Qin Xiqing did for her today were just to win over her?

Heart? This seems unnecessary. No matter how much you value yourself, I’m afraid there is no need to be so exaggerated. Moreover, in my own feelings, all of this does not seem to be a fake and deliberate show. On the contrary, I can feel Qin Xiqing’s intentions.

. Is this all my illusion?

While Fang Zian was in a state of turmoil, he heard Qin Xiqing say softly: "Master Fang, in your heart, what kind of person is Xiqing?"

Fang Zian raised his head and smiled: "Miss Qin has superb singing skills and unparalleled beauty. She is a unique woman in this world."

Qin Xiqing stared at Fang Zian for a while, and sighed: "You are just like those people, you only use such false words to deal with me. I know that in your hearts, no matter how hard I try, I, Qin Xiqing, am just your man after all.

His plaything. In Mr. Fang’s heart, Xi Qing is probably extremely dirty.”

Fang Zian exclaimed in shock: "How could Miss Qin think so? I never meant this."

Qin Xiqing waved her hand to interrupt Fang Zian's words, sighed and slowly stood up and walked to the long window. At this moment, the sun was setting in the west, and the golden sunlight shone in from the long window, illuminating Qin Xiqing's slender figure. Her whole body seemed to be...

It blends into the golden light, like a layer of golden light, and like a goddess burning with golden flames. This scene is so beautiful that it is breathtaking.

"Mr. Fang, please drink a glass of wine with Xiqing, and Xiqing will tell you a story." Qin Xiqing turned around and said softly.

Fang Zian nodded hurriedly and said: "Okay."

Qin Xiqing walked to the table and sat down, and Fang Zian poured a glass of wine for her. Qin Xiqing picked up the glass and drank it all in one gulp, while Fang Zian hurriedly drank the wine in his hand.

"Eleven years ago, there was a girl living in Sizhou City. The girl's father was the magistrate of Sizhou City, and there were three brothers in the family. The girl lived a very happy life. Although there was constant war in the north of Sizhou,

How could a girl know these things? Her parents and brothers protected her very well. She lived a carefree life every day, learned to read and play, and learned to play piano and sing from her mother. She was very happy. Until that night,

The girl was woken up by her mother in her sleep, and then she saw her father and brothers standing in the house wearing armor. The girl was very scared. She had never seen her father's expression so serious. Usually his father was always kind and cheerful.

He was smiling. But my father was different that day..."

Qin Xiqing whispered softly, picked up the wine cup in her hand to drink, but found that the wine glass was empty. Fang Zian hurriedly whispered: "Miss Qin, this wine is strong, you'd better drink less."

Qin Xiqing said: "Master Fang, can't you let me have two drinks? Can't you have two drinks with me?"

Fang Zian had no choice but to pour wine for her and drink with her.

"The girl was very scared. Her father told her that the Jin people were attacking from outside, and he and his brothers were going to fight with the Jin people. Her father said that the imperial court ceded Sizhou to the Jin people, and Sizhou had tens of thousands of people.

But the soldiers and civilians didn't agree, because it was their home. As the prefect of Sizhou, he couldn't abandon Sizhou City and ignore it, so he wanted to stay to fight with the Jin people and defend his homeland. But because it was too dangerous, he wanted her

She followed her mother and left here overnight and crossed the river to the south. The girl refused and said she wanted to stay with her father and the others. The father picked her up, pricked her face with his beard and told her seriously: "Daddy and brother are

To protect our country

, if you can’t see your father and brother anymore, don’t be afraid, live well and take good care of your mother. And remember, father and brother are both great heroes. Then, father put her down and let her cry.

He ignored the shouting and left without looking back."

Qin Xiqing's face turned red, and her eyes became sad and confused. She was already drunk and emotionally excited, making her breathless when speaking.

"The girl's mother took the girl and left Sizhou City overnight, and many people in the city also fled south. They fled overnight to the bank of the Huaihe River. It was full of people, it was dark, and there were people everywhere.

Many small boats were full of people fleeing to the south bank. The girl's mother didn't know what to do. Fortunately, someone recognized them and made room for them on a small boat, so they were able to board the boat and head to the south bank of the river.

Go. It was very cold that day, the wind was strong, and the waves on the river were also strong. The people on the boat huddled together, and many people were crying. Many of the boats on the river capsized, and many people fell into the water, in the cold water.

They struggled and shouted, but no one came to save them. Some of them swam to other boats, and the boatman hit them on the head with an oar. Peng Peng Peng! The sound was so terrible, so terrible, that the girl will never forget it in her life.

Drop that sound. It’s terrible.”

"Miss Qin, take a rest and don't think too much." Fang Zian comforted Qin Xiqing softly, because Qin Xiqing already seemed out of breath.

Fang Zian had already guessed that the girl was Qin Xiqing. She was talking about the year when the Shaoxing peace treaty was reached. Unexpectedly, Qin Xiqing was one of the people in the North who fled south after the peace treaty was reached.

After achieving this, a large area of ​​land and cities fell into the hands of the Jin. How dare the people stay where they were. Everyone knew the cruelty of the Jin. The only thing they could do was to flee south. Thousands of people wanted to cross the river.

, in that case, who can care about whom? Those who fell into the water want to be saved, but in that case other boats will be capsized by them, and the people on the boat can only drive them away, or even beat them to death directly, otherwise they will not survive.

.Imagining that situation made Fang Zian, a person who had experienced a great battle, get goosebumps all over his body, let alone Qin Xiqing, who had experienced it personally. She was probably only a little girl of eight or nine years old at that time.

.

Qin Xiqing hugged her knees and huddled up, her body trembling a little. There was extreme fear in her eyes, like a little girl who was in danger. Fang Zian stretched out his hand to comfort him, but he retracted it. He didn't know what to do.

Is good.

"Let me finish, let me finish... At dawn, the girl and her mother finally arrived at the south bank of the Huaihe River. Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, bad news came. People everywhere were saying that the city of Sizhou was destroyed.

The girl's mother took the little girl and ran up to a nearby hillside. There were people there, standing on the hillside and looking to the north. In the direction of Sizhou City in the north, smoke was billowing, and the smoke covered the sky and the sun. Everything

Everyone understood that the city was really broken. The Jin people always set fire to the city after breaking it. If the city hadn't been broken, how could there be so much smoke and dust? Many people started crying, and the girl's mother also started crying bitterly.

There were cries all over the mountains and plains, cries everywhere. Terrible, terrible cries."

"Soon after, soldiers and horses came to the north bank to fight... In the wilderness of the north bank where everyone could see, the Jin men rode horses and shot arrows, killing groups of officers and soldiers. Those Jin men were extremely cruel.

, they are completely toying with their opponents, they use knives to cut the flesh of the exhausted officers and soldiers bit by bit, instead of killing them with one knife, those demons, they are torturing them. The girl's mother does not want the girl to see these situations,

She took the girl away immediately. The girl also understood in her heart that her father and brother were afraid they would never come back. She was very sad, but she didn't let herself cry because she could see that her mother was even more sad. She wanted to protect her.

Mom, she can’t make her more sad..."

"...Because there were rumors that the Jin people were going to cross the Huaihe River, the girl and her mother went south together with all the people who had fled from the north. They suffered a lot along the way. The clothes and soft quilts they carried with them

The bad guys robbed everything. It was cold, hungry, and there was no way to survive. On the edge of the river, they almost threw themselves into the river in despair. Fortunately, they were killed by an old fisherman in the fishing village by the river.

The couple saw this and took them home for a full meal. The girl's mother told the old fisherman and his wife their identities. The old fisherman told the mother and daughter that they were the family members of anti-gold officials and that the court should provide them with resettlement and care.

, we should go to Lin'an to find the court, maybe there is a way out. So the mother and daughter were sent across the river in a boat by a kind old fisherman. After that, they begged all the way to Lin'an Mansion."

"...Lin'an Mansion was also overcrowded. People from the north crowded the city. The mother and daughter had no friends and didn't know where to stay. After being pointed out by someone, the mother and daughter found the Lin'an Mansion Yamen.

After hearing the situation, an official was kind to us and said that he wanted to know the specific situation, and took the initiative to arrange the mother and daughter in a small house inside Beiguan Gate. People were beaten to death every day in the city for robbery and theft.

Or they were killed by officers and soldiers. Human heads were hung at the gate of Beiguan City every day, and everything was in a mess. The girl's mother pawned a pair of earrings and bracelets that were close to her, and she was able to survive for the time being with some money. The mother and daughter will

All hopes were pinned on the government yamen, and they went to ask for news every day to find out about their father and elder brother. Soon after, the news came that Sizhou City was captured that night. My father and three elder brothers fought to the death with the Jin people and refused to surrender. All the soldiers fought.

He died that night. After hearing the news, the mother and daughter cried hard.

, the sky is dark and the earth is dark.”

When Qin Xiqing said this, she finally could no longer control her emotions, and tears burst out of her eyes, rushing like a river.

Fang Zian silently handed over the towel, and Qin Xiqing took it, covering her face and sobbing endlessly.

"Miss Qin, that little girl must be you. I never expected that Miss Qin's life experience would be so twists and turns. Your father and your brothers are all heroes of the Song Dynasty. They are really admirable. My condolences to Miss Qin,

It's been so many years, Miss Qin, don't keep remembering these things."

Qin Xiqing sobbed for a moment, wiped her tears, and reached out to lift the wine jar to pour wine. Fang Zian's mouth moved, but he did not speak.

"Why didn't you stop me from drinking?" Qin Xiqing asked with red eyes.

Fang Zian said: "Wine can relieve sorrow. At this time, it would be good for Miss Qin to drink some wine. I will drink with you."

After saying that, he took the wine jar and poured wine for the two of them. Of course, when he poured wine for Qin Xiqing, he only poured half a glass. Then he raised his glasses to each other. Qin Xiqing drank the wine in one gulp, exhaled the hot smell of wine, and said with

Wiping his face with a cloth, his mood seemed to slowly return to calm.

"Miss Qin, I want to know what happened next? How did you... become a member of Wanchun Garden again, and how did you know the prince?" Fang Zian asked.

Qin Xiqing was silent for a moment and said softly: "After learning about the death of my father and brother, my mother and I were heartbroken. The official comforted me and said that the court will make good arrangements for my mother and me. It will also record the merits of my father and brother.

.We waited in the city, and waited, until the spring of the next year, and finally the news came. But...but...guess what? The young master just said that my father and brother are great heroes who serve the country with loyalty.

Huh? But the court didn’t think so. The last thing waiting for me was the news that my father and brother had disrespected the court’s orders, failed to abide by the peace agreement between the two countries, fought with the Jin people, sabotaged the peace agreement, and disobeyed military orders, and they were actually going to be convicted. I

My mother and I were both dumbfounded. Didn’t my father and brother die fighting against the Jin people? Why did they not even get any credit in the end, but they still had to be convicted? My mother was not convinced and took me to the gate of the palace to complain, but I was beaten by those

The soldiers drove them out. My mother was so angry that she fell ill. The official who took our mother and daughter in did not dare to take us in. That year, Marshal Zhang Tongzhi and the others were all killed, so he did not dare to take in our mother and daughter anymore.
