After Shen Tingyu walked in, he saw that the Xiaoxiang Pavilion was already overcrowded at this time, full of seats, and the cheers continued.

"Miss Zhilan's piano is really superb, like a heavenly palace fairy song!" A spectator complimented.

"Yes, Miss Zhilan is versatile, and her appearance is such a sinking fish and geese, if anyone can marry such a girl, it will really be a death without regrets."

"Just you? Or don't be whimsical, don't you know how many merry sons and eunuchs have been rejected by Miss Zhilan, let alone people like you and me? I'm afraid Miss Zhilan doesn't even want to look at us. ”

Shen Tingyu suddenly remembered that he had heard the sound of the piano played by Chu Zhilan a month ago, and now that he thought about it, it seemed that there was still a sound of the piano lingering in his ears.

"What a good piano song, wouldn't it be wonderful if it could be accompanied by a good word and let Miss Zhilan sing it?" Another spectator sighed.

"I'm afraid it's difficult, the day before yesterday, Du County Ling came to Xiaoxiang Hall to fill in the lyrics for Miss Zhilan, but in the end he still felt that the words he made were not worthy of Miss Zhilan's piano music, so he was ashamed to leave."

"Really? It seems that this lyrics have to be done by a great talent. ”

Du County Order? I didn't expect this Du County Order to be so Yaxing. Shen Tingyu remembered the Du county commander who had been standing beside Lord Yu a few days ago, it was said that he was still a protégé of Lord Yu, and the appointment of the county commander this time was also recommended by Lord Yu.

At this time, the song ended, and the aftermath lingered, and everyone was still unsatisfied.

"Thank you for cheering, the little girl is a little tired today, so I'll go and rest first." I saw Chu Zhilan on the stage stand up, arch her hand, and retreat.

Although everyone felt a little disappointed, they all left with great interest, Shen Tingyu also stood up at this time, and when he was about to leave, he was stopped by a person.

"Shen Gongzi, slow down, my Miss Zhilan invites you to come in for a while."

Shen Tingyu looked back and saw that it was the maid Xiaoyue beside Chu Zhilan. Hearing Chu Zhilan call him, Shen Tingyu's heart was a little interested, so he followed Xiao Yue's footsteps and came to the backyard, only to see Chu Zhilan sitting next to the stone table waiting for him. Today's Chu Zhilan is wearing a red dress with gold silk carvings, a jasper and phoenix hairpin, red makeup, and a smile in her eyes. For some reason, Shen Tingyu has a different feeling every time he sees Chu Zhilan, and every time he sees her, he can make himself feel extra at ease.

"I thought Shen Gongzi would dislike the filth here, and not accept the little girl's invitation." Looking at Shen Tingyu's arrival, Chu Zhilan said happily.

"The scenery here is unique, and it is a beautiful invitation, why don't I come? If I dislike this place, how can I enter this Xiaoxiang Pavilion? Shen Tingyu asked rhetorically.

"Shen Gongzi, the little girl asked you to come here because she wants to ask for your help."

"What's the matter? But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

"Shen Gongzi, the little girl recently got a piece of piano music from a friend, but she still has no words, and asked Shen Gongzi to help compose a lyric or two."

"How can you be ugly?"

"Why should Shen Gongzi be humble? Aren't you afraid that this qin song will tarnish Childe's poetry? Chu Zhilan said.

"This ...... That's ugly, and I hope that Miss Zhilan won't laugh. ”

In fact, when he listened to this song just now, a song had already appeared in Shen Tingyu's mind, so he didn't shirk anymore, picked up the paper and pen on the stone table, and it was already done in less than half a cup of tea.

Shen Tingyu handed the finished words to Chu Zhilan, Chu Zhilan took a look, her face became more and more happy, and the more she looked at her, the more happy she became.

"Talented and beautiful people are old, and they can't find the ends of the world, so you don't want to ...... Good words, Shen Gongzi is really good. The little woman still has one more thing to ask for. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"There are songs and lyrics, and I ask Shen Gongzi to give another one."

Shen Tingyu lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said, "Then it's called "Falling Flowers". ”

""Falling Flowers", flowers dance and tears up, flowers cry and petals fly. Flowers bloom for whom to thank, flowers for whom to grieve. Good! Then it is called "Falling Flowers". Chu Zhilan was amazed when she heard it.

"Xiaoyue, you go and get fifty taels of silver to Shen Gongzi." Chu Zhilan commanded.

"This, Miss Zhilan, this silver is absolutely unwanted." Shen Tingyu hurriedly refused.

"It's okay, Shen Gongzi wrote the lyrics for my song, and these fifty taels should be regarded as a reward for Shen Gongzi."

"Then thank you, Miss Zhilan." Thinking that he was about to be unable to open the pot in his home, Shen Tingyu did not shirk again this time, and accepted the silver taels given by Chu Zhilan.

Chu Zhilan also smiled when she saw Shen Tingyu accept her silver taels.

"If Miss Zhilan has nothing else to do, she will retire first." Shen Tingyu made a gesture and left the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

After coming out of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Shen Tingyu bought some wine and food, and went home, and after eating, Shen Tingyu began to study hard.

A few hours flew by, and Shen Tingyu was a little tired from reading, so he came to the courtyard to breathe. But seeing his father Shen Wanchuan standing alone in the courtyard, Shen Tingyu walked up and asked, "Why is my father alone in this courtyard?" ”

Shen Wanchuan turned to look at him and said, "It's Tingyu, it's okay, my father just came out to breathe." ”

"Father, the child has been thinking these days, if I had had real power in my hands, maybe you would not have to suffer anymore, and then things would have been a different result. In these years, the result of not having real power is to be slaughtered by others. This question had been bothering Shen Tingyu since Lord Yu said goodbye to him that day, and at this time he hoped to get the answer he wanted through his father.

"Let those things in the past pass, but my father wants you to become an official, not because I hope you can have as much power, but because I hope that you can benefit the people, if you are just chasing fame and fortune, then don't defile the books of this saint." Shen Wanchuan said.

"What my father said is very true."

"Tingyu, as an official, you must first have a good heart, if your heart is not right, sooner or later you will harm others and yourself, there is history as a mirror, Tingyu must not be careless, don't lose your original intention."

"The child must follow the teachings carefully, and he will definitely do things for the people of the world in the future." Shen Tingyu said.

"Well, it's good to have this heart, but the dispute between the barbarians in the court is very serious today, and you must not participate in it when you become an official in the future, otherwise you will not be far from the disaster of death."

"Father, don't worry, I have heard a little about this barbarian dispute, and I will definitely not participate in it."

"It's good that you understand, it's not much time before the autumn exam in September, and you should study hard during this time, and you must be promoted."

"Well, the child will not fail his father's trust."
