Uncle Li turned around and wanted to leave, Cao Yingze was worried that Su Yu was married to a wife and would not do his old business again, so he turned his heart sideways, simply revealed his identity, and lifted out the official shelf to press her, so he pulled Uncle Li again, took out a silver ticket of one thousand taels and a jade pendant from his arms, and solemnly handed it to Uncle Li, "Old man, the jade pendant is under the token, your girl will understand who I am when she sees it, and this silver ticket must also be handed over to the girl." ”

Uncle Li nodded, flashed into the back door, and soon greeted him with a smile on his face, bent down and said, "The girl said that the son is a distinguished guest, please come to the house!" ”

Cao Yingze was ecstatic, stealing while entering, fortunately, he revealed his identity, otherwise he was afraid that he would be closed.

After entering, he came to the main hall, Yu Ming was already waiting in the water pavilion in front of the main hall, and when he saw Uncle Li walking with him, he got up and saluted slightly, "Concubine Su Yu, see the Hou Shizi of Jingyang." ”

Cao Yingze hurriedly helped her up, and the moment he saw her appearance, he was suddenly half wooden, thinking that he Cao Yingze could be regarded as having read countless people, but the beauty and charm of the person in front of him were really rare in the world, so he was not only stunned.

Seeing him like this, Su Yuming hurriedly took two steps back, took a wide sleeve to block Xiuyan and said, "Su Yu is so virtuous, he is really ashamed to be valued by Cao Shizi." ”

Hearing what she said, Cao Yingze remembered that the old slave had just said that she had married a wife, and now she was a wife, so she knew that she was abrupt, so she hurriedly pleaded guilty, "Fang Cai is abrupt, please forgive Mrs." I am not a prodigal son in the next place, and I tried my best to see my wife, all because I heard the sound of my wife's piano by chance before, and I was shocked by the sound of heaven, and I thought like crazy, so I came to visit, if I could listen to it in person, I would be very honored! ”

Su Yuming slowly lowered her sleeves, invited Cao Yingze to take a seat, and asked someone to serve tea, and then said, "The old housekeeper just said that you are an old guest of the concubine, but the concubine has been thinking about it for a long time, and she doesn't remember seeing the son in Zuichun Garden, how did the son know about the concubine?" ”

"I went to Zuichun Garden to listen to music, and the chief pipa master of Zuichun Garden, Qingchen, appreciated Mrs. Skill, so it can be said that I have admired Mrs. for a long time."

"I see...... That being the case, the concubine should pluck the strings and make a song to thank the son. As he spoke, Su Yuming called the cuckoo to bring the pipa, plucked the strings on the shaft, and played a song lightly.

Cao Yingze was fascinated by it, and praised it at the end of the song, "Wonderful! Wonderful! Madame really lives up to her reputation! ”

Su Yuming put down the pipa and said with a smile, "The son praises falsely, the voice of the countryside, it is rare for the son to be promoted." ”

Cao Yingze wanted to leave after listening to a song, but after listening to it, he only felt that the aftermath was lingering, and the sound was endless, but he became more and more in love with the stack, and he couldn't wait to take Su Yuming away to comfort his heart.

Su Yuming saw that he was playing with the tea cup and had no intention of leaving, it seemed that he had taken the bait, so he took out the one thousand taels of silver tickets and jade pendants, pushed them in front of him and said, "The son is gracious, Su Yu is deserved, now is different from the past, Su Yu no longer makes a living from the show, so naturally he can't accept the favor of the son." ”

Unexpectedly, Cao Yingze, who was known as the first merry son in Changxing, blushed, knowing that he was abrupt, and hurriedly put away the jade pendant and silver ticket, "Is it down, I actually treat my wife as a vulgar person." ”

Su Yuming smiled lightly, "Childe is serious." The concubine saw that it was not too early at this time, and the husband in the next place was about to return home, and I was afraid that it would be inconvenient to keep the son, so I ......"

"I understand it below!" Cao Yingze hurriedly stood up, and when he wanted to leave, he seemed unwilling, so he asked, "I don't know when I will have the opportunity to hear the sound of heaven again, I am very honored!" ”

Su Yuming's face was embarrassed, and he hesitated for a while and said, "I heard the old housekeeper say that the son lives next to the bad mansion, if he just listens to the music, the concubine is playing in this courtyard, and the son should be able to hear it, why meet him?" ”

That's right! Why meet?! Didn't you fall in love with this musician at first sight? Thinking of this, Cao Yingze couldn't help but shudder, she is now married, how can she come up with such a disrespectful thought!

"This ......" Cao Yingze was a little stammered, he couldn't imagine that he was so untested that he had the reputation of the first merry boy in Changxing! But he thought about it, a stunning person like Su Yu is also a genius of qin rhyme, and it is reasonable for him to sink into it! It's just that I don't know which man is so blessed that can marry her to the court. Thinking of this, he began to worry about why he hadn't come to Luo'an earlier, so that he could meet her when he was not married. If he really can, he will definitely be desperate to admit him into the mansion, far more than Xiao Tingxiu is to Liu Wu.

Su Yuming saw that he was unconscious, and called him a few times, Cao Yingze came back to his senses, and was at a loss again, and hurriedly said, "Don't hide it from Mrs., everyone in the world calls me a 'piano idiot', and I especially love the pipa, and now that I see Mrs., I know what it means to be 'there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people', if you ...... If Mrs. can teach one or two, it will be a real honor in the next place! ”

Hearing him say this, Su Yuming's face was embarrassed, and she bowed her head and was silent. Cao Yingze was about to continue to persuade, when suddenly the old housekeeper hurriedly walked over and saluted Su Yuming, "Girl, my uncle will be back soon, look ......?"

Su Yuming pretended to be flustered, and hurriedly said to Cao Yingze, "Son, and leave with the housekeeper, if there is a chance in the future, the concubine will ask the old housekeeper to send a message to the son." Now that the concubine's husband is about to come back, if he misunderstands, won't he tarnish the reputation of the son? ”

Cao Yingze understood her difficulties, so she turned around and wanted to leave, and left a sentence before leaving, "Madame remember to pass the message and say goodbye!" ”

Seeing Cao Yingze leave, Ye Cizhun walked out of the hall, came to Su Yuming's back and said with an evil smile, "I don't know if it's an honor to listen to Mrs. to comfort your lovesickness?" ”

Su Yuming turned around and laughed, slapped him, and then snuggled into his arms......

Ye Cizhun sighed and said helplessly, "I didn't expect that I, Ye Cizhun, would also use a beauty one day, and this beauty is still my wife, I am really ashamed......"

Beauty Trick?! When Su Yuming heard this, she suddenly became annoyed, "I don't have half of the behavior of serving people to him, where did the beauty come from?" It's just a pipa, and if you want to say that it's a meter, it's also a music meter, not a beauty meter! ”

Ye Cizhun saw that she was really anxious about herself, and hurriedly apologized, "It's wrong for her husband!" It's not a beauty trick! As he spoke, he kissed Su Yuming on the cheek and continued, "Apologize for your husband, don't be angry, madam." ”

Only then did Su Yuming turn her anger into laughter.

After Cao Yingze got Su Yuming's promise, he looked forward to it at the back door every day, Su Yuming did not break his promise, and invited him to the courtyard to play the piano and discuss the music after two days.

One afternoon a few days later, when the two were discussing music in the courtyard, Su Yuming specially ordered someone to serve a pot of wine and a few snacks, and invited Cao Yingze to talk about it. On the occasion of the company of Huifeng and Chang and beautiful women, Cao Yingze was full of poetry, raised his glass and chanted, Su Yuming saw that he was so happy, so he picked up the pipa and played another song, Cao Yingze became more and more happy, and drank several glasses in a row.

Seeing that a pot of wine was about to bottom, Cao Yingze was already a little drunk, Su Yuming put down the pipa, slowly picked up the white porcelain cup, looked at Chu Jiang in the cup and said with regret, "Wine, the longer it is, the more mellow it becomes, but it has already turned into dust, it's a pity ......"

When Cao Yingze heard the music, the musician was moved, turned around and asked, "What does Madame mean by this?" ”

"The concubine heard that this Chu Jiang drunk was brewed by a minister of Xiangwangfu in Xiangzhou, and there is a sad and crying story in it."

Cao Yingze was a little surprised, picked up the wine glass and looked at it carefully, "Oh? This is the Chu Jiang drunk that is famous all over the world by the two major business houses of Taixiangxing and Taixiangsheng? It's no wonder that the wine is fragrant and mellow, and it really lives up to its reputation. There is naturally a good story behind good wine, and I would like to hear it in detail. ”

Su Yuming's face was dyed with a bit of sadness at some point, and said quietly, "I heard that Prince Xiang was handsome and talented, and he often drank with his retainers and talked about the world, and it was rumored to be an elegant thing in the literary world for a while, but unfortunately he was jealous of his talents, and Prince Xiang suddenly contracted a vicious disease on the way to Xiangzhou, and died of serious illness, and only a wisp of heroic soul remained when he arrived in Xiangzhou." One of his retainers was good at winemaking, and in the face of the rolling Yangtze River in Xiangzhou, he missed his old master, so he took the water of the Yangtze River and the altar of Changxing to make a unique Chu River drunk in this wine. ”

Cao Yingze smiled after hearing this, raised another glass and drank it all, and sighed, "The story is a good story, and the wine is also a good wine. ”

Su Yuming pretended to be surprised and asked, "Oh? Isn't there something wrong with this story? ”

Cao Yingze put down the wine glass and said slowly, "Whether this wine was made by Xiangwang's retainers or not, let's not talk about it, but even if it was made by his retainers, it was this person who deliberately pulled the old master to make a name for his wine." Alas...... King Xiang has been infatuated with the wrong payment, and he has not met talents, and he may not have raised his eyebrows a few times in his life. ”

"That's really a concubine who is lonely and unheard, and I don't want to be the king and his person, but it is very different from what is rumored in the market...... I wonder if the concubine can be lucky enough to hear some old things related to King Xiang? It can be regarded as getting to know this legendary genius, and if you see someone borrowing his name in the future to sell his reputation, it is good to reprimand him for correcting the public. ”

Cao Yingze took another drink and continued, "Hmph, these people who sell their fame and reputation, King Xiang won't take it to heart at all!" More than 30 years ago, the leading genius of the great cause was the first to recommend the former Hanlin Academy attendant to talk about Chen Ji, and King Xiang was the person who even sighed at Chen Ji. ”

"In this way, the king of Xiang back then, I don't know how many famous ladies of the great cause will be fascinated."

"Hahaha...... It seems that Qingli is as refined as a lady, and she can't get out of the strange circle of longing for a romantic talent. ”

Su Yuming pretended to be shy, bowed her head and said nothing.

"Madame doesn't need to be shy, it is not an unspeakable thing to fall under the name of King Xiang, the famous ladies of the year, poured into the name of King Xiang, there are not a thousand, there are also eight hundred, the most famous of which is Zheng Ying, the daughter of the Xingyang Zheng family, and Lu Xinqing, the daughter of the Fanyang Lu family, that is, the former Queen Lu."
