Chapter 51 Visiting the Bamboo Forest: Meeting the "God" in the Lonely Pavilion

"Since you are not Ji Kang, who are you?" Zhong Hui asked everyone's question.

"I'm Mr. Ji's disciple, Zhao Zhi." Zhao Zhi took off the embroidered hat on his head, picked up the half-arm brocade thrown on the ground, and recovered his natural state. He was a young and handsome boy.He bowed to Zhong Hui and said: "My master has been wandering in the mountains for several days, and he is not at home today, so I have offended him so much."

Zhong Hui replied: "It's okay, what you said just now is exactly what I thought in my heart. Even if people in the world regard feminine and masculine styles as beautiful, Mr. Ji will never go with them. You just performed it vividly. , worthy of being the master's disciple, Zhong admires it!"

"Don't dare."

"I don't know when Mr. Ji will return home?"

"A month at most, and three to five days at least, I don't know for sure." Zhao Zhi saluted again, then looked at Zhong Hui politely, without any intention of continuing the conversation.

Zhong Hui said quite tactfully: "I'm bothering you today. After Mr. comes back, please tell me about Mr. Zhong's visit."

"I'll tell you the truth." Zhao Zhi said, made a gesture of seeing off the guests, turned around and walked into the house with Qin in his arms.The little boy stepped forward to pack up the small table and lotus flower buds that the clock would have knocked over just now, and then closed the fence.

Zhong Hui watched the door close again, feeling lost in his heart.

"Sure enough," Meng Jinhua muttered to Gao Shichen, "Ji Kang's disciples are all so cold, I really don't know how cold he feels..."

"Wang Rong, one of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove, once said, 'I have lived with Ji Kang for 20 years, and I have never seen him be happy.' Although it is a bit exaggerated, it shows Ji Kang's extraordinary and refined temperament." Gao Shiqian said.

"Such a person has nothing to do with femininity and sickness."

As the two talked, seeing Zhonghui got into the carriage again, the team turned around and began to march.

"He won't want to go back to Luoyang City?"

"I don't know. After all, Ji Kang doesn't know when he will come back. The affairs of the court and China are busy. Maybe Zhong Hui won't stay here to wait."

"Then what should we do, should we go back with him?" Jin Hua hesitated.

"I think it's better to follow him. After all, we have nowhere to go. Besides, we haven't found any clues about the clothes."

"Aren't you afraid to meet that Mr. Li again when you go back to Luoyang?" Jin Hua looked at him with a smirk and said, "Luoyang City is full of a bunch of dandies like wolves and tigers."

"You want to stay here to meet Ji Kang," Gao Shiqian retorted when he saw her teasing him, "It's a pity that he doesn't eat the fireworks of the world, and he won't care about ordinary people like me."

Jin Hua saw the group of people getting farther and farther away from the bamboo forest, and was in a hurry, but saw Zhong Hui's carriage stopped suddenly, and his entourage stepped forward to listen to his order, and then pointed to a lonely house in the wilderness not far away, and told everyone A temporary camp was set up on the spot nearby.

"Your wish has come true, Zhong Hui will stay here for a few days, and wait for Ji Kang to come back." Gao Shiqian said.

"My brother is my brother, I will never go back until I see my idol." Jin Hua sighed.

"I didn't expect Zhong Hui to be so obsessed with Ji Kang..."

"So when it hurts, the attack will be so vicious."

As the two talked, they also stepped forward to help set up the tent.At night, the camp was finally set up, and they and some followers were assigned to a small tent.Since the two came to Wei and Jin, they haven't closed their eyes yet, so they soon fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, Jinhua heard the faint sound of the piano in the distance, and suddenly a thought flashed in his mind, and he woke up suddenly.When she was in the Tang Dynasty last time, she met Princess Taiping when she heard music at night. Will she meet Ji Kang this time?

She got up, walked out of the camp lightly, and touched the direction of the sound of the piano by the moonlight.

Going around the tent where Zhonghui lived, she found the place where the voice came from, which was in the pavilion behind the solitary hall.She crept closer to the gazebo step by step, the sound of the piano was getting closer and closer, and a hazy figure was outlined by the moonlight.

Did she really bump into Ji Kang?She suppressed the beating of her heart, and opened her eyes wide to look at the person who played the piano under the moon.

The man was wearing very ordinary coarse cloth clothes with several crooked patches on it, and a bamboo hat on his head. No matter how he looked at it, he looked similar to the woodcutter he saw during the day. Maybe even the woodcutter said indefinite.

What, I was excited for a long time, and it turned out to be a woodcutter playing the piano!

She felt cold for the most part, this unlucky Wei Jin, was full of tricks that did not match the name and made a fool of himself, after coming here for two days, every day was full of shocks and blows!She was disheartened for a while, and was about to turn around to leave, but she heard the woodcutter say: "The girl is leaving, is it because my piano sounds bad?"

She stopped, turned around and said in embarrassment: "Haha, that, it's not that it sounds bad, but I'm afraid it will disturb your playing the piano."

"Do you think that the sound of the piano is dull when you see me in rags?"

"No, no..." Jinhua scratched his head, thinking that what he said seemed to be right.At first, she thought it was Ji Kang playing the qin, and she thought the sound of the qin was very melodious, which made people feel ecstatic, but when she found out that the player was just a woodcutter, she lost the slightest interest in the sound of the qin.

"Girl, you don't have to hide it. It can be seen that most of the people in the world love the qin because Ye Gong loves dragons and pursues illusory things. They don't really understand the fun of the qin."

The woodcutter spoke with a bit of philosophy.Jinhua gave up the idea of ​​leaving, and walked up to sit opposite the woodcutter: "It is said that playing the piano is a hobby of literati and refined scholars, and scholars don't quit the piano for no reason. Why do you, a woodcutter, play the piano?"

"This is the girl's prejudice again. Anyone who understands the meaning of the qin can play the qin. If they don't understand, even if they play the qin every day, they are just a puppet who can play the qin for others to enjoy."

"It makes sense... Who did you learn the piano from?"

"The owner of the house that lives over there with the fence."

"You mean Ji Kang taught you how to play the piano?" Jin Hua asked in surprise.

"Yes, that is the gentleman."

Jinhua suddenly felt that the sound of the piano was several times more pleasant than before. As the woodcutter said, it is a matter of mentality when people look at everything in the world: "What's the name of this piece?"

""Encountering the God in the Lonely Hall"."

When she heard this name, thinking about the environment she was in, she felt a little chill all over.At this moment, someone behind him holding a lantern came over, it was Zhong Hui's entourage.He yelled at the woodcutter and Jinhua: "It's so late, who is playing the piano here, disturbing my family's rest!"

When he saw clearly that it was a woodcutter playing the qin, he pointed at the woodcutter and said, "What kind of qin does a woodcutter play? Go, go, don't let me hit you!"

"Don't be annoyed, my lord, I'm leaving now." The woodcutter got up holding the zither, and walked out of the lonely house slowly.

Jinhua stared at his back, healthy and straight, with a very free and easy posture, a thought suddenly popped up in her mind, could it be that he is...
