Chapter 9 The Transformation of the Heart

Although Madame Bamboo's carriage looks plain on the outside, it is quite comfortable on the inside, and the cushions on the seat and the cushions behind it are made of embroidery of one color, and they are moderately soft and hard, and the journey is very pleasant. There are also a lot of books piled up in the small few places in the carriage, which I think are used by Mrs. Zhu to relieve the loneliness on the way.

I wanted to take the opportunity to chat with the master for a few words, but when I saw that Mrs. Zhu was in a trance all the way, as if she was thinking about something, she consciously silenced. It's just that the two of them are relatively speechless, and they have a bit of a waste of time, so they picked up a small book from a few clicks and read it by themselves.

In fact, although the mind of the clear mind was concentrated on the book in his hand, the true qi of the whole body was still running naturally without stopping. The internal strength of the mind taught by Mama Yao is very peculiar, and it does not require special meditation practice, as seen in the previous novel. The true qi in her body is now running all the time, and she doesn't need to be half-hearted, eating, learning, and even sleeping without delay.

I thought that the internal strength of this world was like this, so I didn't know the wonder of what I learned now, and I didn't know that compared to others, I actually achieved twice the result with half the effort.

When the speed of the carriage slowed down, the bamboo lady came back to his senses. Seeing that Ran was concentrating on reading, he couldn't help but unconsciously stroke Ran's head. The close relationship in the past few days has made Mrs. Zhu feel some pity for her only apprentice.

"When you get to the house later, you can follow me closely. If your master asks questions, you can answer them truthfully, but your master claims to be a man of the world, and he hates worldly things the most, so you must not annoy him with these things, lest you annoy him. Mrs. Bamboo instructed softly, and nodded quietly.

As he spoke, the carriage had stopped in front of a high-gate mansion. I looked at it casually, and saw that the eyes were full of eaves and glazed tiles, carved beams and paintings, and the momentum was magnificent, and I thought that the identity of this owner was really good.

There were already people waiting at the door of the house, and when they saw that the carriage had arrived, they carefully helped Mrs. Zhu to get out of the car. Mrs. Zhu seemed to be a frequent visitor to the house, and she didn't need to be guided, so she took Zhiran all the way to the house.

The scenery in the house has already made Ran breathtaking, if it is said that the Yiluo Fang seen before is full of strangeness and ingenuity, and now the garden is more regular and elegant. The owner seems to be fond of the water system, only to see that in addition to a huge artificial lake in the garden, there are rockeries everywhere, and even under the stone slabs of the feet, there are gurgling clear streams passing by.

I know that the place where I am now belongs to the north, which is relatively arid and has little water. Now this garden is like a southern water town, obviously it has taken a lot of effort, and it also shows that the identity of the owner is extraordinary.

In the distance, there was a misty sound from the other side of the lake, and the player was obviously a master of the piano, and even if he knew the rhythm for the first time, he could hear the sound of the piano heartily and without any pause.

Mrs. Zhu seemed to be disturbed by the sound of the piano, so she unconsciously stopped her steps, tightened the hole flute in her hand, and then continued to move forward with Ran.

Bypassing the rockery along the way, I finally saw a large open space by the lake, and the person in the middle had a brocade hair tied at his side at will, and his plain clothes resembled Mrs. Bamboo, who was the one who stroked the piano. However, looking at his face, although his face was full of gloom, he was only forty years away, but he didn't know why he was born early, and he sighed that there was probably another story behind this.

There were several scholar-looking men sitting around the man, and seeing how they were dressed, he knew that these must also be the children of rich families. Several scholars greeted Mrs. Zhu separately.

There was also a young man sitting beside the person who was playing the qin, about sixteen or seventeen years old, but he was dressed in brocade and jade crown, with handsome eyebrows and eyes, and it was difficult to hide the joy on his face, which was very different from the demeanor of the person who played the qin. He was listening carefully to the sound of the elder's piano, but when he saw Mrs. Zhu and Ran coming, he straightened up and saluted, and his posture was very chic.

The man who stroked the harp did not stop the music in his hand, as if all his thoughts had been immersed in the strings. The surrounding maidservants had already greeted them and arranged a seat for Mrs. Zhu. Mrs. Zhu bowed slightly and returned the salute to the young man, and then quietly sat down. It was natural to salute the young man, and then he stood quietly beside the master.

After all, he is a human being in two lives, not to mention anything else, but he has already developed immunity to beautiful men. What's more, although the man in front of him is handsome, in the final analysis, he is still just a teenager in his heart, and to put it bluntly, he is just a little child, so he doesn't have much interest in him.

But looking around, the maids in this house couldn't help but quietly look up at the young man from time to time. Knowing the slight happiness in his heart, this master claims to be a layman, but the girls in this house are unbearable.

After another moment, the sound of the piano stopped, and the man with the gorgeous hair seemed to come back to his senses for a long time. Seeing Mrs. Zhu on the side, she only nodded lightly and said, "It's coming!" His eyes had already caught his eyes on the body behind Mrs. Bamboo.

"This is the little apprentice, she has been learning music with me recently, and I just happened to bring her here today." Mrs. Zhu explained, turned to Chaoran and instructed, "Go and see the prince." Ran stepped forward and saluted the Huafa man, thinking in his heart, it turned out that this noble man was actually a prince, and it seemed that the master's connections should not be underestimated. Seeing that the Huafa man nodded, he retreated indifferently behind the master.

The Huafa man pointed to the young man beside him again, "This is the son of a friend, who happened to live in my house these days, and the others are familiar to my wife." The young man immediately got up, called himself "Huan'er", and revisited Mrs. Bamboo.

Mrs. Zhu chatted with the Huafa man for a few words, and the two seemed to be very familiar with each other, but there was no intimacy in the words, and the relationship between the two made Ran quite puzzling.

At the end, the master and Mrs. Bamboo decided to play a song together. Originally, it was a beautiful scene, who is in the sparkling lake, the spring is rippling, the talented and beautiful, the qin flute and the song, but in the sound of the sound, this person who caress the qin and makes Xiao was originally a master in the rhythm, and the two tones were originally elegant and high, but the sound of the qin flute was combined, but it was clear that he was depressed in his heart, and even full of bitterness.

I only listened to the sound of the piano and the sound of the flute, and as soon as the sound of the piano blended with the sound of the flute, the sound of the flute immediately avoided in a hurry. And vice versa. I was tired of listening to it, and I guessed that the person who played it was even more tired.

As soon as the song was played, the scholars immediately applauded, praising what they had just heard as a natural sound, and for a while the noise was abnormal, and they frowned unconsciously, and the owner of the qin flute was relatively speechless, and several scholars felt embarrassed.

The young man seemed to be afraid of the cold, and he also smiled heartily: "The juniors have also learned music for several years, but until now, they have heard good news, and it is really a three-day journey." ”

The master seemed to come back to his senses, and when he saw that Mrs. Zhu was silent, he casually asked, "How does the girl feel?" Seeing that the man with gorgeous hair actually asked himself, he didn't know how to answer. She glanced at Mrs. Zhu, saw that the master smiled bitterly, and said again, "It's okay to be blunt."

He walked to the middle of the venue and saluted the master before answering indifferently. I saw that although she was dressed in plain clothes and was still small, her elegant appearance and calm bearing made people dare not look at her.

"The younger generation is only the first rhythm, and they don't dare to talk about it. The piano and flute ensemble just now sounded to the younger generations, and the two seniors were highly skilled, which was beyond the reach of the younger generations. After a pause, he continued, "It's just that the sound of the piano and the flute are both very beautiful and captivating, but the two notes dodge and dodge, and if they are separated, they do not have the effect of harmony." ”

Knowing this comment, the owner of the piano flute didn't speak, but several scholars around him seemed to be angry and shouted, "It's just a little girl, how dare you say anything?" "I don't argue with it.

However, the Huafa man was speechless for a long time, sighed, and asked, "What does the girl feel about the sound of the piano played by this king before that?" ”

"That's naturally the best sound in the piano!"

"Yes, the prince is elegant, detached, the sound of the piano is like a person, and he is a vulgar voice!" Before he could speak, the compliments of those scholars were endless. Thinking that they are used to filming this prince's sycophants on weekdays, they don't feel embarrassed.

I didn't want to steal the limelight from a few scholars, but seeing that the Huafa prince was still waiting for his reply, he had to speak: "The little woman doesn't think so!" ”

"Bold!" The prince was not yet angry, but the scholars next to him seemed to be filled with righteous indignation.

Knowing that he couldn't see the faces of these villains, he didn't care, but seeing that the master didn't have the intention of stopping himself from speaking, he continued: "The sound of the prince's piano sounds quiet and elegant, and it seems to be chic and unconventional, but when the little woman listens to it, she feels that there is no joy in the piano. Chic is false, empty is true. ”

"Shut up, you dare to make a lot of nonsense at a young age, it's just unreasonable!" Those scholars heard what they said, and they were afraid that the prince would be angry, so they took the lead in teaching Ran. And the prince was also frowning, thinking that he had never encountered such a faceless scene, but he did not interrupt Ran's words.

"It's not that the prince's piano is not good, the prince is naturally a master in the piano. It's about living in the world, if you only know how to escape the world, what is the meaning? has a lot of talent, but he is locked in this deep house, and he doesn't ask about the world, like a wasted person, how can he be chic? After saying this, he bowed to the prince, apologized for his outspokenness, and returned to Mrs. Zhu's back, but he couldn't help but blame himself for many things in his heart.

It is clear that in the previous life, he was not a person who liked to talk about the rights and wrongs of others, but now that he has been a child for a few years, his heart has changed. In addition, the environment is different after all, although there are only three Mrs. Zhu around, but she has really gained a lot of warmth, so the heart that was originally as cold as ice has gradually melted, but she herself has not yet noticed it.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that she has today's bold outspokenness.

Those scholars did not give up, and asked, "Now that it is a peaceful and prosperous world, and the country is safe, what mundane things are worthy of the prince's concern?" The little woman can't understand the prince's detached mind, so why is she paranoid? ”

Ran didn't want to answer, but he really couldn't get used to the sanctimony of the people at the banquet, so he couldn't help but reply: "The princes are all rich and noble, maybe they don't know the suffering of the people outside the Zhu Gate. Even if the prince is separated from his current identity, if he is struggling between food and clothing, and bullying the rich and evil, how can he talk about being detached and chic? ”

Lord Huafa sighed, and said to Mrs. Zhu: "You are a disciple, but you are very different from you!" ”

Mrs. Bamboo replied faintly, "Do you want her to be me again?" After finishing speaking, he got up and bowed to the prince, "Today, let's leave first!" Then he nodded to the crowd and left with a clear understanding.
