Generally speaking, in teahouses and restaurants, all the true or false gossip spreads the fastest. I usually stay in a private room in the teahouse, and rarely come out of the hall to hang out, but occasionally I will sit down when I am bored.

Ever since I lost my position, or I should have been suspended from work to be exact, I felt that my whole life had been detached from my previous life, and I thought of the wooden house on the mountain. I used to think that it was unrealistic to go to live there, but now I feel that the phrase "hidden in the city" is not false at all, I don't have to go out of my way to find a place like there, just in the Tang Guogong Mansion and the Zui Hong Teahouse, and the daily life is already very leisurely. Of course, this is also based on the family business that the Tang State Mansion is still passable.

One day I went to Zui Hongjian early in the morning, because this day was Cao Fu's thirty-eighth birthday, and I had been to his teahouse for so long, and I had never drunk tea that cost nothing, so I was very positive on this day.

The same positive person as me is Xun Yi, he didn't know what to do some time ago, and when he came back, he heard that I had a falling out with Yu Wenhua, and he immediately became very nervous.

In fact, I have always wondered if Cao Fu has mistaken his age, because although he is thirty-eight years old, he does not look as old as a twenty-eight-year-old, Xun Yi is younger than him, and everyone can see that Xun Yi is much older when they stand together.

I sat down with Xun Yi in the teahouse first, Cao Fu was wearing a new dark robe, looking more handsome than usual, just when Xun Yi and I looked Cao Fu up and down, there was a knock on the door.

The three of us glanced at each other - Ding Cheng couldn't come at all when he was on duty in front of the palace today, Xun Jian was going to see a doctor and couldn't come until the afternoon, Ruoxiu got up early to serve his mother, and he couldn't come for a while, as for Sanniang, who I wanted to bring for a long time, she had to wait for Ruoxiu to come with her when she was done, so ...... None of us expected that there would be a knock on the door now. And there is no little guy to report, which is very weird.

Cao Fu sat in the main seat today, I sat opposite him and sat closest to the door, so I got up to open the door, Xun Yi watched my movements vigilantly, I walked to the door, and opened the door lightly.

Then a pair of hands pushed the door open, and what appeared in front of him was a young man with a weak crown, with a fair face, very handsome appearance, also wearing a dark robe, a folding fan in his hand, looked me up and down a few times, and said with a smile: "Why don't you know it?" ”

Before I could react, Cao Fu behind me had already stood up and said to the young man, "Why are you here too?" ”

I looked at it carefully and felt very familiar, and suddenly remembered the matter of Luoyang, arched my hand slightly at him, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Boss Ding." ”

Ding Yu'er's gaze crossed me and stopped at Cao Fu and refused to move away, but another person's voice sounded outside the door, "Childe is really good eyesight!" After speaking, he said to Cao Fu, "Why can't I come?" ”

Cao Fu waved his hand again and again, and at this time, a white-clothed scribe turned out from behind Ding Yu'er, with a jade flute in his hand, who was not Zhang Wensu? When I saw him coming, I was speechless for a long time.

We sat down with the hosts...... Ding Yu'er sat next to Cao Fu, as if he was half a master.

As soon as Xun saw Zhang Wensu, he said: "Do you have to come to the mourners?" ”

In fact, Zhang Wensu's mother has been seriously ill for a long time, and his mother passed away shortly after he went back, because he has not come back because of the mourning at home, and now he has not come back for three years, but he came back early.

Zhang Wensu shook his head helplessly and sighed: "There's really no way." The emperor wants to recruit musicians from all over the world, and he doesn't care if I'm filial piety at home. ”

Not long ago, Yang Guang issued an edict that in order to welcome the Eastern Turkic Qimin Khan who will visit next year, he would summon all the talented musicians from all over the world to the capital. And Zhang Wensu was the pianist of the Yue Guo Mansion back then, and his reputation was outside, so naturally there was no way to hide.

As soon as Zhang Wensu came, the atmosphere of the whole room was different, he was not too formal, and he was very talkative, and after catching up with everyone, he pulled the topic back to me.

He said: "Yang Su is dead, who did it?" ”

Xun Yiyi: "Although you are not there, you can still see at a glance that Yang Su died unexpectedly, how did you do it?" ”

Zhang Wensu said: "The dethronement of the son, the favor of Yu Wenhua, and the death of Yang Su, these three things happened at the same time. Childe, it seems that Yu Wenhua grabbed the first credit in front of the emperor, and fell into the well for Childe. ”

He sighed, but I didn't think so: "Let me kill Yang Su, I can't do it." ”

Zhang Wensu nodded and said, "Yu Wenhua can do it." I knew this person was hidden, and sure enough. Childe just had fellowship with him, and now it's like this, it's not necessarily bad. ”

He brought up my sadness, and I was silent for a while before I said, "He has his choice." ”

Zhang Wensu was about to speak, but Cao Fu preemptively said: "Everyone knows that Cao hates these things about officialdom the most, today is Cao's birthday, please give me face in the next place, from now on, you are not allowed to discuss current affairs today, what do you think?" ”

Ding Yu'er clapped her hands on the side and said, "That's very good." ”

The rest of us looked at each other and nodded.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, Xun Jian walked in with a look of compassion unique to a doctor, and when he saw that we were all looking at him, he seemed to come back to his senses and said slowly: "Hey, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is seriously ill, and with my medical skills, I am afraid that he will not be able to cure him." ”

The crown prince Yang Zhao was born by Empress Xiao, and was named the crown prince immediately after Yang Guang ascended the throne.

I glanced at Cao Fu, only to see him and Ding Yu'er looking at each other, and shook their heads helplessly. It seems that the consensus we have just reached has been shattered in less than a moment.

Xun Yiyi: "Uncle went to see His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

Xun Jian nodded.

Cao Fu said: "Then you will die." ”

Xun Jian said: "The queen mother is kind to me, and I should repay it, but unfortunately my medical skills are not enough." ”

I thought about it, although Xun Jian's medical skills cannot be said to be unique in the world, there are very few people in the world who are more skilled than him, and he can't cure them, so I'm afraid the prince is really not good.

Ding Yu'er on the side interjected: "There is a doctor Yan Qian in Jiangdong, I heard that his medical skills are also good, if the emperor really wants to treat him, maybe he can find him." ”

Xun Jian shook his head and said: "He is now under a pseudonym, and he still lives in the former pharmacy in Jiangdong. However, since the fall of Jiangdong, he has threatened that the world is not good, let alone the royal family of the enemy country? If you want to find him, I'm afraid it won't work. ”

Cao Fu smiled when he heard this: "Doctor Xun, don't take these things too seriously. There is a saying that if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, which is probably retribution. ”

Ding Yu'er pulled him.

I know that Cao Fu and Ding Yu'er don't like to talk about these things, and I don't bother to think about it myself, and I was about to change the topic to gossip about Cao Fu and Ding Yu'er's past, but Zhang Wensu said: "Brother Cao, how much profit can your teahouse make every day?" ”

When everyone heard this, they were all stunned. Zhang Wensu is usually a person who treats money like dung, when did he start to care about these things?

I was wondering in my heart, Cao Fu had already said, "Well, I haven't calculated it carefully." ”

I was stunned again, this is even more unlike Cao Fu, he and Zhang Wensu are just the opposite, businessmen must have more baht than him, why don't you even care about the profit of your own teahouse?

Zhang Wensu said: "I always feel that there is something missing in Brother Cao's teahouse. ”

Ding Yu'er smiled strangely and answered, "Woman." ”

Zhang Wensu was sending a cup of tea to his mouth, and after listening to Ding Yu'er's words, he squirted out the tea with a "poof", coughing and waving his hand: "Boss Ding, I'm ...... Ahem...... I didn't mean that. ”

In this way, even Xun Jian, who has always been not good at smiling, can't help but laugh.

After a while, Zhang Wensu finally breathed a sigh of relief, pointed to the door and said: "The drunken Hongjian teahouse has been empty for many years, but there is no piano master, I have nowhere to go now, I want to ask Boss Cao to take you in." ”

Cao Fu waved his hand and said, "Don't don't, you sit there, don't drive the guests away." ”

Zhang Wensu said with a smile: "Ordinary people, please stroke the qin, and they are too lazy to serve, but now that they are sent to the door, Brother Cao is not allowed to accept it?" ”

Cao Fu still waved his hand.

I said, "Mr. Zhang, didn't you come to Beijing to receive the Qimin Khan for the emperor?" Why is there nowhere to go? ”

He smiled: "Yang Xuangan, he won't let me go." It's okay not to go, and be happy. ”

Xun Yi also smiled: "Yang Xuangan is too lenient. ”

Zhang Wensu said: "Xun Yi, don't say it, he is right." I used to be a guest of the Yue Guo Mansion, but now that the master is dead, not only do I not wear filial piety for him, but I also go to play the piano and music, which is too disagreeable. ”

Xun Yiyi: "In this way, you should be filial piety for your aunt in Lianzhou now, and you shouldn't come here." ”

Zhang Wensu's face seemed to move, and then he said: "The Son of Heaven has a life, dare not obey the edict?" ”

Xun Yi said coldly: "In this case, Yang Xuangan is not the Son of Heaven, and he dares to fight against the emperor?" ”

Zhang Wensu said: "He only needs to do something on the roster and cross out my name, and I won't be able to enter the palace." Speaking of Yang Xuangan, Yang Su was killed, and he seemed to have some doubts in his heart. ”

I smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang will also be tricky?" Yang Su was killed, you already knew about it? ”

Zhang Wensu smiled and nodded.

Although he was still discussing the affairs of the court, the atmosphere was much better than when Xun Jian first entered the door.

I remembered that a while ago, Mrs. Wan's son, Li Zhiyun, who was a big ghost, asked me questions related to music and rhythm, and I couldn't answer any of them, so I looked at Zhang Wensu and said, "Mr. Zhang, you just said that there is nowhere to go?" ”

Zhang Wensu sighed and said, "Yes." ”

I said, "There are a few young brothers in the family, who are extremely talented and interested in music, I wonder if Mr. Zhang is willing to teach them the art of the piano?" ”

Zhang Wensu frowned when he heard this, and laughed helplessly: "Since the son speaks, Wensu dares to disobey?" ”

There was a knock on the door between talking and laughing, Ruoxiu took Sanniang into the door, I got up and saw them with a gloomy face, their expressions were obviously not right, and they hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

If the correction wanted to speak, Sanniang preemptively said: "My father has been dismissed!" ”
