Chapter 16: Temptation

The bottle stood aside, she looked at Wu Qian coldly, this unstoppable iron rooster, I was afraid that it would be difficult to buy it if I didn't want to pay for it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoHe can't let those little guys push a wheelbarrow to Yixiu Garden, right? Wu Qian is indeed a not very generous person, but since he has made up his mind to befriend Yi Xiuyuan, he has to show off his strength no matter what, right?

"Then go buy a horse." Wu Qian gritted his teeth and said, "In a few days, the price of horses will definitely continue to fall." When I sold the two horses, I didn't make any money.

When the Feng family's sedan chair stopped at the gate of Yixiu Garden, all the people appeared here one after another as if they had made an appointment. Carriages and sedan chairs were in an endless stream for a while, and in Yixiu Garden, in addition to the housekeeper surnamed Xu, Bai Shizhong, who was dressed in white, commanded everyone to greet guests.

Although everyone wondered why the owner had not appeared until now, the magnificent decorations of this garden, as well as all kinds of strange stones, rare birds, and exotic flowers and plants, made people dizzy, and did not have time to inquire about the owner. Everyone was whispering in amazement, afraid that there were few people in the world who could have arranged the garden so gorgeously! The previous conjecture about the nouveau riche owner of the garden also did not seem to be appropriate, because the average nouveau riche would never spend so much effort to buy these things, and they were well arranged.

Qian Jinyan and Mrs. Meng came when the banquet was about to begin. Madame Meng was initially unimpressed, as she was most concerned about her daughter and grandson, who were said to have left the capital at the moment and would arrive in two days. But Qian Jinyan thought that it was rare to have such an opportunity to come out, and he had to bring his wife out to relax together no matter what. Although the scenery of Yixiu Garden was beautiful, it didn't take her too seriously, and it wasn't until she saw Bai Shizhong that her heart couldn't help but move.

"This person is also said to be a person close to the owner of Yixiu Garden, but he is obviously not a family member." Qian Jinyan and Mrs. Meng had a clear understanding and quickly explained.

"Bluffing." A dissatisfied expression flashed on Mrs. Meng's pale face, but the layout here gave her a sense of déjà vu, and the more she walked inside, the stronger that feeling became, "You mean, the housekeeper here is surnamed Xu, right?" Is it really possible that it is someone from the Xu family? ”

"Judging by the information we have so far, this is indeed the case." Qian Jinyan whispered, "But the words are not so absolute. The people we sent before have not yet returned, so there is no definite news for the time being. Madame......"

"Looking at the layout of this garden, it looks a bit like the handiwork of the Xu family." Mrs. Meng frowned, and she said lightly: "Now I want to meet the master here for a while, who is the master?" ”

The large flower hall is divided into two parts by a screen, which are entered through the doors on the left and right. On the empty stage opposite the flower hall, the invited musicians are plucking the strings, adding a bit of elegance to the place. The door of the flower hall was open, and a temporary platform was facing it.

When Hua Yuenu held the pipa and climbed onto the high platform, just a few times with the pipa, and the people in the audience instantly quieted down. The veil on her face had faded, and all eyes were fixed on hers: it was a face so beautiful that it could stop breathing! All the men's eyes were fixed on her, and they wished to have two more eyes so that they could see two more; All the women were a little more dissatisfied on their faces, and some even scolded her in a low voice as a "fox spirit", even Sun Yuehua, who was dressed prettyly, was a little jealous in her heart, and kept secretly saying in her heart, sure enough, she didn't stain the name, Hua Rong Yuexiang, I'm afraid that even if it is the reincarnation of Xi Shi, it is only so beautiful, right? With such beauty, I am afraid that she can compete with Su Shaoqing.

At the moment of seeing that face, there were two people's expressions that changed amazingly: the first was Qian Jinyan, who had always been old and serious, that face touched his mind, perhaps because he was too surprised, the chopsticks in his hand fell down, if it wasn't for the opportunity to pick up chopsticks to hide his excitement, I'm afraid others would be surprised by his change. The other was Mrs. Meng, who was in a trance when she saw that face, and after touching her face, she sighed slightly, and her face became ugly.

This kind of performance naturally can't escape the fear of someone's attention, Su Shaoqing couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth when she got the news, and the purpose she wanted was really achieved.

The sound of the pipa sounded, and a song of "Peony Song" that had already been in the world sounded. This is just an ordinary popular song, but the uneasy mood of the crowd that had been quiet instantly spread.

Qian Jinyan's face was like ashes, he tried to calm down, but his face was still even paler, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the flower moon slave on the stage and did not move. And Wu Qian, who was still secretly playing his own little abacus, couldn't help but tremble.

"It's this tune. It won't be ...... She's back, right? Wu Qian leaned into Qian Jinyan's ear and asked in a low voice: "I remember that she played this tune back then......

"How is that possible?" Qian Jinyan barely held up a smile, but everyone could see how reluctant it was, "That's how many years have passed, so why mention it again?" ”

There were whispers in the crowd, it was impossible for them not to know the same song, but now there was one less family, and there was one more Su Shaoqing inexplicably. Qian Jinyan's lips trembled, and he looked at Wu Qian and said, "Check, check carefully, what is the origin of the people here?" ”

"You thought of it with me, didn't you?" Wu Qian shivered as if he was cold, and he said repeatedly: "Here...... It wasn't just the two of us back then, why would we play such a piece here? And this woman...... Why do you look a little familiar for some reason? It won't be from their Li family......"

"Presumptuous!" Qian Jinyan scolded in a low voice, and he said coldly: "Wu Yuanwai still listens to the music, right?" Such a beautiful woman, such a beautiful tune, it's better not to live up to it. ”

"I heard that "Peony Song" was transmitted from Luoyang to the capital back then, and then spread all over the country, isn't it? I heard that people in the palace played this piece back then. Someone in the crowd whispered.

All the men didn't speak, and there was indeed a beauty who played this song back then, but no one thought that "Peony Song" would become the last swan song of that woman.
