CHAPTER XXXI

People from six places found out that Wu Fan's mother followed the pianist who learned the piano, called An Chuyang. Comparing the information between the two compartments, it is the person Xie Yiying mentioned with Zhou Jin the night before.

Xie Yiying immediately sent an invitation to An Chuyang in the name of the imperial concubine, inviting him to come to the house to play for himself.

As a result, An Chuyang refused very decisively, and received a reply to the letter sent at noon, and the reason was very perfunctory, only saying that he was old and could no longer go to the palace to play for the imperial concubine, and hoped that the imperial concubine would forgive his sins.

Old?

Xie Yiying thought about the old man's age, and felt that this reason was too distracting, even if it was said that he was cutting his fingers while cooking two days ago.

The person who brought the reply was afraid that Xie Yiying would be unhappy, so he hurriedly explained, this old man An's reply is quite good, at least there is a hope of forgiveness behind him, when he refuses others, he is not so polite and thoughtful, and he still knows how to accuse.

"This old man is very interesting, he is so not afraid of offending people?"

"That Mr. An's piano skills...... The whole country is also famous, and the little one also heard that a student he once taught is now a big official, although he doesn't know who his surname is, but he must be a powerful person in Beijing, so these adults in Yangzhou City dare not touch him. ”

"Oh," Xie Yiying nodded, then turned back to Qingmei and said, "I won't sleep at noon, I will clean up and visit this very character Mr. An in person in the afternoon." ”

"This ...... How can he work the princess, you go to visit him, doesn't that break his life. ”

The servant bowed to the end, and Xie Yiying didn't care: "If I want to listen to the piano, I naturally want to listen to the best." Why, I don't go and invite him personally, can you invite me? At the end of the sentence, the tone is picky, and it is very arrogant like the imperial concubine.

"The little one is wrong, please forgive the imperial concubine." After speaking, she knelt, Xie Yiying was impatient to see people like this, and she had been patient just because she knew that the etiquette could not be abolished, and she couldn't expect her to go all over the street to popularize human rights and equality, which was the kind of stupid girl who thought that she could ascend to the sky in one step with a slap from the emperor. The husband she married was a cold-faced prince, and instead of letting her fan him, she would rather find a rope and hang herself by herself.

Of course, what I said to people is just an excuse, in fact, I can't wait here, Yangzhou is now on full defense, and the things that can be found in six places, I don't know that they can't find it. The six places have already sent people to watch over there, but they can't keep it up to others to get the first time. You know, what the six places have to do is to find the person and transport the person out intact, and the other party has to do just kill him, and in the current situation, even at any cost.

How capable is the backer behind An Chuyang, and can he keep him?

If you are not careful...... You know, they're the ones who should have died three years ago.

An Chuyang was very decisive when he refused to thank Yiying, but when he knew that the fourth imperial concubine came to the door in person, he was also enlightened.

But for three years, he rejected many people in Yangzhou, including high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen, because he didn't know who was involved in the incident that year, and those people said that he was a stubborn old man, but he just wanted to protect a child.

So many people, who have been rejected, have never come to the door to find themselves again, after all, the identity is here, he is just a pianist, and he is not worthy of condescending to anyone, but today...... The four imperial concubines came.

He was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly ordered someone to invite someone in.

Xie Yiying's face was calm when he came in, with his usual smile of a little shyness: "Mr. An." ”

"How dare you come to the princess."

"The mountains don't come, I go by. Mr. is an elegant and noble person, but I really admire his piano skills. That's why I came to bother, I hope Mr. won't mind. ”

"Where is the princess, this ...... The humble house is really simple, please sit here, the princess. ”

Xie Yiying wore a sky blue dress today, the jewelry was extremely simple, and the makeup was also lightly painted, which made the strange old man feel good.

The decoration of An Chuyang's room is indeed simple, but Xie Yiying sat down without mind, and his face was not half dissatisfied.

An Chuyang sat opposite her, half-leaning over to make tea, the sound of boiling water on the table gradually sounded, An Chuyang hesitated for a moment, and said: "I heard that the fourth imperial concubine is superb. ”

Since Xie Yiying sat down, he kept lowering his eyes, looking at the tea pet on the table, listening to him enter the topic, raising his eyes to look at people, and smiling: "The world is just a false praise." ”

Her eyes were very clear and peaceful, and An Chuyang gradually let go of his initial defense, "I don't know if I have this ear blessing today." ”

"Sir understands, since the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, I have never played the piano again."

"Why is that?" An Chuyang Aiqin also loves talents, and he has been crazy about this for half his life, but now he feels a pity when he sees Xie Yiying who has this talent but does not reveal it.

At this time, the tea was ready, Xie Yiying raised her wrist and took the teapot.

To brew tea, boiling water should be rushed along the inner edge of the teapot mouth, and the water column should not rush straight into the center of the teapot, so as not to destroy the taste of the tea; To be like calligraphy, not in a hurry, in one go, the distance between the kettle and the teapot should be relatively large, so that the heat can penetrate the bottom of the jar and make the tea foam rise, which is not only beautiful, but also makes the tea taste more fragrant.

When pouring tea, the teapot should be as close to the teacup as possible, so as to prevent the heat from dissipating, and the water may not be hot enough, so that the tea fragrance volatilizes prematurely; At the same time, the low pour does not stir up foam and does not make a ticking sound.

It is called "high and low".

Xie Yiying actually doesn't understand the tea ceremony, but Ye Gong is a good dragon and can put on a flower shelf to bluff people.

However, it is better to be calm and calm in the gas, and it also leads people to calm down.

Poured the two cups of tea in turn, and thanked Yingfang for speaking: "People who are determined not to play the piano again naturally have their own reasons, I don't know what Mr.'s reason is?" ”

An Chuyang was silent, for some reason, he didn't want to lie in front of Xie Yiying.

Xie Yiying smiled, leaned over and handed the teacup over with both hands: "I don't know if I have the pleasure of listening to Mr.'s piano today." ”

"I ...... It's been a long time since I've played the piano. ”

"Oh," Xie Yiying nodded, lowered her head to drink tea, and continued, "When I came, I saw that the piano on the table was spotless, if it wasn't played by Mr., who played it?" ”

An Chuyang choked for a moment, and then reacted: "Since I rub it every day, why do I have to have someone play it." ”

Xie Yiying smiled slightly, as if she hadn't noticed the change he had just made. When she was in school, she took a course called crime investigation, and she was very skilled in attacking the heart.

"Originally, I also wanted to ask Mr. for a lesson or two, but I don't know if Mr. has ever accepted female students."

As soon as these words came out, An Chuyang's expression changed obviously, at first on his back, and then on guard: "The imperial concubine didn't come for me today, right?" ”

Xie Yiying looked at people sincerely: "Who did Mr. think of?" ”

"Who does the princess want me to think of?"

The two came and went, testing each other, but Xie Yiying's heart was not disturbed at all.

"The woman who can make Mr. take in as an apprentice is probably not an ordinary person."

An Chuyang stood up suddenly, and stretched out his arm: "Since the imperial concubine has other plans today, let's please." ”

This was said unceremoniously, but Xie Yiying's face remained unchanged, she just looked at him quietly, and said softly after a while: "Her name is Luo Xiaolian, and her piano voice is very beautiful, even if she is not praised by the world, can't she even mention her name?" ”

"Sir," Xie Yiying's eyebrows softened, "she is a person who lives without a deserved heart, and you should also let her be above board." ”
