The third brocade box is four feet long and one foot wide, and everyone in the seat is staring at Zhou Xuan's gift, only to see Zhou Xuan stretch out his hand and pluck it on the yellow silk wrapped utensils in the brocade box, and the sound of "Zheng" is the sound of the seven-string guqin. (Eye to the book)

  Zhou Xuan said with a smile: "This is Cai Zhonglang's 'Luqi' piano in the late Han Dynasty, made by Yang Gutong, famous all over the world, treasured by Emperor Tang Ming, and lived among the people after the Anshi Rebellion, fortunately it was not damaged." He took out a simple and elegant paulownia wood piano more than three feet long, walked to the fairy Jingyi, bowed down and held it with both hands, and said: "The Queen Mother of the West also does her birthday, and the younger brother should celebrate the birthday of the fairy sister. ”

  Lin Hanyun on the side clapped his hands and said, "Well said, Brother Zhou Xuan is really good at talking." ”

  Fairy Jingyi got up and replied, and said in a very low voice, "Thank you, Brother Xuan." Then he said elegantly: "All the distinguished guests are humiliated, and the female Tao is overjoyed and ashamed, and she has no way to answer the guests, but she can only cook a cup of tea in person and present it to you." "Make a bow, and transfer to the back hall with Mingfeng and Jianyue.

  Zhou Xuan said: "The tea of the fairy Jingyi is rare to taste, please wait for a while, let me tell a joke first, a joke about drinking tea - it is said that there is an island country in the West Sea, barbaric and uncivilized, and its king heard that the people of the Central Plains drink tea very elegantly, so he spent a lot of money to buy a box of expensive and good tea, but he didn't know how to cook it, and finally, he poured the tea into the pot and boiled it with water, boiled a big pot, poured out the tea, put salt on it, and ate the tea residue, which even tasted special. ”

  Before Zhou Xuan finished speaking, the audience was already laughing.

  Li Jian said with a smile: "It is said that burning the qin and boiling the crane is a matter of bad scenery, and now I have to add one more - burning the qin and cooking the crane to eat tea, haha!" ”

  Not for a while. Jingyi Fairy and Mingfeng and Jianyue brought out tea. Fairy Jingyi personally poured tea for the people present, and everyone laughed when they saw the tea because of the joke Zhou Xuan said just now, making Fairy Jingyi inexplicable, Lin Hanyun "Ka Ka Gege" retold the joke, and Fairy Jingyi couldn't help but laugh.

  The four idiots picked up the teacup and sniffed it first. Squinting and intoxicated, I took another sip, which really penetrated my heart. Suddenly I opened my eyes. looked at Fairy Jingyi, then at Zhou Xuan, and asked the three idiots next to him in a low voice: "Third brother." Why is this Jingyi fairy so similar to Yunyi, the maid who watched the tea in Baiyun that day? ”

  The three idiots said hesitantly: "It's been so long, what else is there to ask!" ”

  The four idiots suddenly said: "It turns out that Yunyi is Miss Lin pretending to be the ground, Zhou Xuan is really treacherous, I said how can he have such a good tea art, I haven't seen him cook tea before!" ”

  That being said. The four idiots did not have the indignation of being deceived, he and the three idiots are now used to getting along with Zhou Xuan. Although the name of the master and servant, but Zhou Xuan never treated them as servants, when in Hongzhou Zhou Xuan said a sentence that made the three idiots, the four idiot brothers are quite moved, Zhou Xuan said: "Many years of master and servant become brothers." ”

  Li Jian tasted two sips of tea and praised: "The fragrance is full of teeth and cheeks, and the aftertaste is endless, but I don't know what kind of tea it is?" ”

  The four idiots can't taste what kind of tea this is? What water?

  Fairy Jingyi said: "The tea is planted by the female Taoist, the cloud tea transplanted from the top of Lushan Mountain, and the water is the snow on the plum blossoms collected in the 'Yangchun Baixue Hall' a few days ago. (Eyes read the book)"

  Chen Ji and Sun brothers praised: "The elegance is extreme, the tea is good, the water is good, and the tea art is better!" ”

  Lin Hanyun was still thinking about the joke Zhou Xuan just said, and the more she thought about it, the more she laughed, and said, "Brother Zhou Xuan, if you have any jokes, let's talk about a few more." ”

  Zhou Xuan said: "How about everyone here telling a joke? If you don't say it, you can play a musical instrument in the seat - His Royal Highness the Prince, please. ”

  Li Jiangui is the prince, so he naturally has to be reserved, tell jokes in public, and smile: "I'll play a tune." He put the guqin on his lap and played a song "Deer Song", which naturally won the applause of the audience.

  Next is Princess Qingle, under the urging of Li Jian, she played a song "Liezi Yufeng", and everyone was also amazed.

  What really amazes everyone is the sheep Xiaofeng Zheng and the pipa of Nian Nu, in this lively and joyful, spring breeze intoxicating night, people spontaneously give birth to "this song should only be in the sky, the world can be heard a few times" sigh.

  Even Li Jian and Princess Qingle, who were accustomed to listening to court musicians, were impressed by the exquisite musical skills of Zhou Xuan's two prostitutes, especially that Yang Xiaofeng, who deserved to be a master of color and art.

  It was the turn of the Sun brothers, Sun Zhan said: "I tell a joke, a doctor who healed a bad person, was caught and beaten, the doctor escaped in the middle of the night, swam across a river before escaping home, and saw that his son was still studying medicine under the lamp, so he said, son, don't rush to read medical books first^H, it is important to learn to swim first." ”

  Everyone laughed.

  Fairy Jingyi blew a hole flute song, and Lin Hanyun blew a few flutes indiscriminately, but it was not out of tune at all, so he hurriedly said: "It's time for Brother Zhou Xuan to tell a joke, tell it quickly." ”

  Zhou Xuandao: "A painter painted a portrait of himself in the mirror, took it out and asked others if the painting looked like it? A looked at it, and said, "The hat is like an elephant; B says that the garments are like images; Before the third person C could speak, the painter rushed to say that the hat and clothes had already been spoken, and if you don't work to talk about it, just look at the shape and image? C looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see any of the elephants, so he had to say that the beard was the most like. ”

  The audience was full of laughter, and Lin Hanyun rolled into the arms of Fairy Jingyi with laughter.

  Tasting tea and discussing the rhythm of music, making music and telling jokes, when he was happy, he felt that time passed quickly, and when it passed in a blink of an eye, the song ended, Li Jian said goodbye, and Zhou Xuan and Lin Hanyun sent him out.

  Li Jian said: "Cousin Xuan's previous "Qingyu Case" is wonderful, and my father asked me yesterday if the Marquis of Xinzhou has any new works recently, and Cousin Xuan continued the second half of "Qingyu Case", and my brother is good to present my father. ”

  Princess Qingle had already walked to the carriage at this time, waiting for the royal brother to help her get into the car, her round skirt was supported by embroidered hoops, it was difficult to enter the door, this Australian national robe is good-looking, but it is a little cumbersome.

  Zhou Xuan said: "Thousands of trees bloom at night in the east wind. More blown down, the stars are like rain. BMW carved cars are full of fragrance. The sound of the phoenix flute moves, the light of the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragon dance all night. The moth snow willow is golden, and the smile is full of dark fragrance. The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but the person was there. ”

  Li Jian admired: "Wonderful, wonderful!" Suddenly, I saw Li Zhu, a girl standing in the dark of the lights by the side of the carriage, with a white dress like snow, and a slender shadow. I can't help but feel a stir in my heart. Thought, "What's going on?" Is this word made for beads? Cousin Xuan is interested in Hu Zhu? No, Hu Zhu is promised to be married to the prince of the Southern Han Kingdom, although Liu Shousu behaves in a perverse and absurd manner, but there is no reason to regret the marriage, Cousin Xuan is afraid that he will be empty lovesickness! ”

  Here, Lin Hanyun also put the second half

  , went back and read it to her sister, and Fairy Jingyi heard "The crowd is looking for him thousands of times crazy."

  Zhou Xuan drank a few more cups of tea tonight, and he was in high spirits and had no sleep. I want to sleep with Yang Xiaofeng. I'm afraid that I will break this little prostitute, delicate, how can I be in the wind and rain overnight?

  Zhou Xuan found three idiots and four idiots to play chess. The three idiots didn't come, but the four idiots came.

  Zhou Xuan said: "It's weird, what's going on with the third child lately, he doesn't even like to play chess, and he is stupid again?" ”

  The fourth idiot said: "The third brother has practiced to the critical point. This midnight is a good time to practice. ”

  Zhou Xuan didn't care, so he started with the four idiots. Zhou Xuan insisted on playing black and letting go of chess.

  After dozens of moves, the white chess of the four idiots had already lost the lead and fell behind, Zhou Xuan frowned and said, "Fourth, what's the matter with you?" I can't believe that this chess is played by you, it stinks incomparably, tomorrow with the chess players of the Wuchang Metropolitan Protectorate, you are bound to lose, or let Mr. Gu play in the future? ”

  The four idiots seemed to be hesitating about something, and their minds were not on the chess at all, but at this time they finally made up their minds, stretched out their hands to disrupt the chess game, and said, "Master, I have something to say-"

  Zhou Xuan saw that the four idiots had a solemn face, felt strange, and asked, "What's the matter, just say it?" ”

  The four idiots said: "If I say it, please don't blame the master, don't blame anyone." ”

  Zhou Xuan smiled: "Fourth, what's wrong with you, you have always been cheerful, why are you so spitting now, could it be that you have a crush on whose young lady?" Wow, you have a crush on Fairy Jingyi? You two have a common hobby—"

  The fourth idiot hurriedly interrupted: "Master, don't talk nonsense, I want to say something important, it has something to do with my third brother, has the master noticed that my third brother has been a little weird recently?" ”

  Zhou Xuan nodded and said, "It's a little weird, just like you, I have something on my mind." ”

  The fourth idiot said: "I don't have anything on my mind, my third brother has something on my mind." ”

  "What's on your mind?" Zhou Xuan asked.

  "Third brother, he-"

  The four idiots didn't know how to speak, thought about it, and said, "Didn't the master say last night that he saw a dark shadow passing over the west tower, in fact, it was my third brother." ”

  Zhou Xuan was shocked: "Ah, it's the third child, where is he going?" Then you still lie to me and say that he is meditating and practicing? ”

  The fourth idiot said: "At that time, I didn't know where the third brother was going, he had never been so mysterious, today at noon, the third brother slipped out quietly, and I secretly followed, but it turned out——"

  "What's the matter, what is the third child doing? Could it be to go to the Qinglou**, the third person is a bit of a hypocrisy. ”

  "Oh, I can't tell for a while, but the master will find out with me."

  Zhou Xuan went out with the four idiots, Zhou Xuan rode a horse, the four idiots rode mules, and went straight to the southeast of the Yuhuatai in the thick night.

  Yuhuatai was originally called Shizigang, there is a Zen temple on the gang, called Gaozuo Temple, when Emperor Wu of Liang, there is a high monk Yunguang Master set up an altar here to say the Dharma, saying that the Buddha is vivid and wonderful, the sky is full of flowers, the hill is full of petals, so Shizigang has been renamed Yuhuatai since then.

  Zhou Xuan and the four idiots came to the Yuhua platform, tied the mount under the old tree, and hiked up the mountain.

  The two came to the front of several thatched houses on the side of the Gaozao Temple, and the four idiots signaled Zhou Xuan to wait here, and he went over to see it first.

  Zhou Xuan watched the four idiots slowly approach the thatched house, and before they reached the eaves, when the wooden door opened, a figure flashed out, and it was the voice of the three idiots: "Fourth, what are you doing with me?" ”

  The fourth idiot said in a low voice: "Third brother, the master is here." ”

  The three idiots said "ah", raised their eyes, and saw Zhou Xuan in the darkness ten zhang away, walked over quickly, bowed down and shouted: "Master." ”

  Zhou Xuan guessed something, and said with a smile: "Third child, what are you doing mysteriously, dating?" Thatched hut hidden? ”

  The three idiots were extremely embarrassed and did not speak.

  The fourth idiot came over and said: "Third brother, this matter is still clear to the master, I thought that things were not so simple, I am afraid that the third brother, you, and the master will be hurt." ”

  Zhou Xuan asked: "Third child, what's going on?" Say it! ”

  The three idiots waved their heads back and forth, seemed to be very embarrassed, gritted their teeth and said, "Master, please come with me." "Strode towards the grass house.

  Zhou Xuan followed behind the three idiots, and the four idiots were next to Zhou Xuan, and it seemed that Zhou Xuan would be in danger at any time.

  Although it is a grass house, it is very clean, with round stools and square tables, and exquisite small cases.

  As Zhou Xuan expected, there was indeed a woman in the grass house, with her back to the door, and she didn't look back when she heard someone coming in, looking at her back and figure, she was about the same height as Qin Que, she was tall and slender, her dress was thin, her hair was draped, and she was about to remove her makeup and go to bed with the three idiots.

  Zhou Xuan said with a smile: "The third child, there is really you, you are really a grass house hidden Jiaojiao, I didn't see that you are still so colorful, tsk, people can't look good, but it's nothing, take it back to Mochou Lake generously, everyone comes to drink you and this girl's happy wine - by the way, the fourth said that you are a thirty-year boy Gong, so aren't your martial arts all wasted?" ”

  Zhou Xuan said with a smile and said lightly, but the other three people in the grass house were motionless, the atmosphere was extremely tense, and the four idiots stared at the woman with their backs tightly, as if they were on guard with all their might.

  After a while, the three idiots smiled awkwardly and said, "The master said that I laughed, I-" looked at his good looks, and didn't know how to speak.

  Zhou Xuan felt that something was not quite right at this time, if it was an ordinary woman, there was no need to be so nervous, who was this woman? Looking at the back, it looks a little familiar, it seems that where have you seen it?

  The fourth idiot said: "Third brother, let's make it clear, this matter can't be hidden, it's good to let the master know, it's good for everyone." ”

  The three idiots frowned deeply, as if they were trapped by love, walked to the woman's side, and said slowly: "A-Ning, I've seen the master." ”

  The woman turned around slowly, with willow eyebrows and melon seed face, with a heroic spirit in her show, but her face was pale.

  Zhou Xuan was taken aback, took two steps back, and shouted, "It's you!" ”
