Compared with Li Hongyu's unexpected success in the county test, the more explosive news is undoubtedly his donation like "destroying his family and relieving difficulties".

This incident not only caused an uproar in Jiangkou County, but also caused a shock among the people of Xiangyang Mansion, making Li Hongyu famous in Xiangyang Mansion for a while.

In the face of Li Hongyu's move, many people thought that he was too stupid to take out so much money to give to the Ming army in Liaodong, God knows if this is Chen Yu's means to make money, let alone how much money can be transported to the Ming army in Liaodong in the end, there must be many officials from the top and bottom of the hands to rub oil.

Some people also think that Li Hongyu is deliberately currying favor with Chen Yu, and they question that the origin of Li Hongyu's case has an inside story, and he bought the first place with the 10,000 taels of silver.

Of course, there are still many people who admire Li Hongyu's loyal and patriotic deeds, especially those who read, after comparing the answers of Li Hongyu with Zhao Xin, Wang Kuiju, Li Hongyi and other top ten candidates in the county, they think that Li Hongyu's case is worthy of the name and deserved.

At the same time, the people of Xiangyang Mansion began to have some understanding of the situation in Liaodong from this matter, and most of them did not even know that Liaodong was there before that.

Li Renhe, as the patriarch of the Li family, naturally wants to support Li Hongyu's righteous deed, which has become known all over the city, five thousand taels of silver is nothing to him, and if he can buy a good reputation, it is quite worthwhile.

Since Zhao Xin and Wang Kuiju pledged 5,000 taels at the banquet, Li Renhe also pledged 5,000 taels, which is not enough to exceed the amount donated by the two.

Zhao Deyi had already learned that Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin were kissing each other mouth-to-mouth in front of everyone's eyes at this time, and he was slightly stunned at first, and then a helpless wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

If someone else "kisses" Zhao Xin, then Zhao Deyi will definitely have a trace of anger in his heart, although this is an accident, but after all, men and women are different, and Zhao Xin's reputation will be damaged.

But Li Hongyu is different, he is a person who has a marriage contract with Zhao Xin, Zhao Deyi really can't be angry, and some are just deeply helpless.

What made Zhao Deyi feel particularly depressed was that he found from Zhao Xin's words and deeds that Zhao Xin seemed to be very sympathetic to the cowardly and wooden Li Hongyu, otherwise Zhao Xin would never have pulled Li Hongyu to the big stone to watch the excitement together, and then there was an accident later.

Zhao Deyi knows Zhao Xin's character, the resolute and resolute Zhao Xin is kind-hearted and full of sympathy for the weak, and Li Hongyu can be described as an out-and-out standard weak, so it has attracted Zhao Xin's attention.

To be honest, Zhao Deyi is very conflicted now, on the one hand, he doesn't want Zhao Xin to get too close to Li Hongyu, he hopes that Zhao Xin's future husband can protect Zhao Xin, instead of needing Zhao Xin's protection, in that case, Zhao Xin will live very tired in the future.

But on the other hand, because of his marriage contract with Li Renhai, Zhao Deyi didn't want to prevent Zhao Xin and Li Hongyu from becoming friends, otherwise his conscience would be disturbed.

Fortunately, Li Hongyu has been engaged to Qin Yue under the auspices of the Zhao family, as long as Zhao Deyi does not reveal the marriage contract between Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin to the outside world, then Zhao Xin and Li Hongyu can only be friends forever, and it is obvious that Zhao Xin must not be Li Hongyu's concubine.

Zhao Deyi can't say why he is worried about this kind of thing now, just like he would never have thought of coming to Jiangkou County before, the so-called world is impermanent, and no one knows what will happen in the next moment.

March, the season when the grass grows and the warbler flies.

On a carriage out of town, Li Hongyu looked out of the window absentmindedly, looking quite depressed.

There were a total of four people sitting in the carriage, and the atmosphere seemed a little dull and depressing, except for Li Hongyu and Rou'er sitting next to him, Qin Yue was opposite him, looking out of the window like Li Hongyu, the look on her face was a little embarrassed, and she was naturally Xiaolan next to her.

In order to promote the relationship between Li Hongyu and Qin Yue, Li Hongyu's eldest aunt specially arranged for the two to go outside the town in this hearty season, after all, both of them are young people, and there may be more languages under the green mountains and green waters.

Zhao agreed, in her opinion, since Qin Yue always wanted to marry into the Li family, then at this time, Li Hongyu and Qin Yue wanted to get closer to each other, so before Li Hongyu left, he told him to be better to Qin Yue.

How could Li Hongyu not know Zhao's thoughts, so he agreed resignedly, and secretly felt a headache in his heart, what he didn't like the most was to cause emotional entanglements, but he had no choice but to go out with Qin Yue.

Even Li Hongyu couldn't tell why he rejected Qin Yue so much in his heart, maybe the situation was not very pleasant when the two met for the first time, and the first impression left by the arrogant Qin Yue on Li Hongyu was very bad.

What is especially important is that at last year's court trial, Qin Yue showed a very cold side, and was also very calm and did not seek death and life like other women, and was bent on putting Li Hongyi to death, and the scene at that time made Li Hongyu remember it vividly.

This made Li Hongyu feel very jealous of Qin Yue for this reason, and he could be said to stay away from Qin Yue, if Qin Yue found out that Li Hongyi's matter was related to him, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Third Young Master, where did you get the method of making that violin, my young lady sent someone to inquire for a long time, but no one knows about this Xiyi instrument."

Perhaps feeling that the atmosphere in the carriage was too depressing, Xiaolan glanced at Qin Yue and Li Hongyu and smiled slightly, and asked Li Hongyu.

"On a Xiyi book." Li Hongyu came back to his senses and said to Xiaolan quietly.

"The third young master is so powerful, what a delicate musical instrument he can make." Xiaolan smiled when she heard this, and said to Li Hongyu in a coquettish voice, "My young lady has been studying music since she was a child, and the third young master can teach my young lady how to play the violin, so that she can make the best use of it and make the violin play more beautiful tunes." ”

"Good!" Li Hongyu suddenly secretly complained in his heart when he heard this, but he couldn't refuse, so he nodded solemnly.

Qin Yue, who was looking out the window, couldn't help but flash a smile at the corner of her mouth when she heard this, it seems that Xiaolan is very understanding, as long as she has the opportunity to get close to Li Hongyu, she doesn't believe that she can't deal with this stupid melon who only knows how to read.

Qin Yue didn't notice that Qin Yue's eyes lit up beside Li Hongyu, and the look in her eyes became a little strange, it was obvious that Li Hongyu was in trouble this time, so she wanted to see with interest how Li Hongyu could deal with it, she didn't think that Qin Yue was Li Hongyu's opponent.

At the entrance of the town, Zhao Xin and Liu Dongfu were talking and laughing in front of the two carriages, and when they saw Li Hongyu's carriage coming, the two greeted them together.

"Brother Zhao, Brother Liu!" After the carriage stopped, Li Hongyu jumped down from the carriage, bowed his hand to the two of them, and said a little crampedly, "Thank you two brothers for coming to the appointment." ”

"Today's weather is refreshing, it is a good opportunity to go out, I didn't expect Brother Li to have such a good Yaxing, but it's a pity that there is no beautiful woman to accompany me, it's really a pity." Liu Dongfu immediately laughed when he heard this, to be honest, he was very surprised that Li Hongyu, who has always been not good at human feelings, invited him to go on a trip today.

Since Li Hongyu was the head of the county test, Liu Dongfu naturally would not refuse, and when he arrived at the town where he had made an appointment to meet, he found out that Li Hongyu not only invited him but also invited Zhao Xin.

"I've seen two sons." As soon as Liu Dongfu's words fell, Qin Yue was helped out of the carriage by Xiaolan, and saluted him and Zhao Xinfu with a smile.

"It seems that I am going to take back what I just said, but I didn't expect Brother Li to have an appointment with the beautiful woman earlier!"

Liu Dongfu was stunned when he saw this, he didn't expect Qin Yue to ride in the same car with Li Hongyu, and then he reacted, and said to Li Hongyu with a smile, Qin Yue and Li Hongyu have a marriage contract, and it is common for them to appear here now.

Li Hongyu's face showed a hint of bitterness, if possible, he would not want to come to Qingqing, he was now busy with the fabric business, where did he have the mind to play, and he was still with Qin Yue, the woman he was most unwilling to get along.

"It's getting late, let's go."

Zhao Xin saw Li Hongyu's embarrassed expression, and finally figured out why he invited himself and Liu Dongfu to come, and made it clear that he was here to be a shield, so he smiled and relieved Li Hongyu of the siege, and beckoned everyone to get in the car and go to the selected destination.

The location of the hike was chosen in a small forest with elegant environment and green grass in the east of Baihe Town, and the side is the quietly flowing Han River, with sober air and pleasant scenery.

Of course, as the young master and young lady Li Hongyu of a large family, they don't have to do everything when they go out, what they have to do is to play to their heart's content, and other things are taken care of by their subordinates.

Li Hongyu likes the green mountains and green waters in front of him, if it weren't for the crisis in the third room of the Li family, and the collapse of the Ming Empire in more than 20 years, he would definitely lead Rou'er to travel the mountains and rivers every day, the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and also have a happy time, no need to intrigue all day long like now, busy all day long.

In order to get closer to Li Hongyu, Qin Yue deliberately brought the violin and approached Li Hongyu under the pretext of asking for advice under Xiaolan's threading needle.

Li Hongyu was very helpless about this, so he chose a meadow by the river with a quiet environment, solemnly explained the structure and performance of the violin to Qin Yue, and proposed the relevant staves.

Zhao Xin and Liu Dongfu were both seeing the violin for the first time, so they were very curious about it, and sat aside with great interest to listen to Li Hongyu's explanation.

It wasn't until Li Hongyu put the body of the violin on his shoulder and prepared to play that Qin Yue, Zhao Xin, and Liu Dongfu were surprised to know that the violin was used in this way.

And when Li Hongyu pulled the bow, the faces of the three of them showed different expressions, and they were immediately attracted by the graceful music on the strings.

The reason why the music is beautiful is because the violin has a different vocal range from the Guzheng, a similar instrument to the Ming Dynasty, which makes Zhao Xin, Qin Yue and Liu Dongfu, who are accustomed to listening to the Guzheng and other Ming instruments, shine in front of their eyes and have an alternative listening enjoyment.

In other words, the combination of violin and guzheng makes up for the lack of vocal range between the two sides, and can play more beautiful music.

Li Hongyu's music is naturally the most familiar to him and the most classic "Liang Zhu" in later generations, the graceful music in the clear blue sky, turbulent flowing water and fragrant soil and other scenery against the backdrop of the heart-warming and pleasant, so that Zhao Xin, Qin Yue and Liu Dongfu quickly reveled in it, closed their eyes and felt the joys and sorrows in the music.

The people who were busy making lunch not far away were also attracted by Li Hongyu's music, and they stopped their movements one after another, and stretched out their heads one by one to listen with great interest.

After the song, Zhao Xin, Qin Yue and Liu Dongfu came back to their senses for a while, and then applauded unsatisfied, the song they listened to was too wonderful for the three of them.

"I didn't expect him to have such attainments in music!"

Looking at Li Hongyu who was standing there with a violin and a smile on his face, the corners of Qin Yue's mouth couldn't help but show a smile of relief, in her opinion, Li Hongyu didn't seem to be as unbearable as she thought, not only won the case but also was proficient in the musical instruments of the Western Regions, which was really unexpected.

Originally, Qin Yue wanted to get closer to Li Hongyu, but the taciturn Li Hongyu followed Zhao Xin and Liu Dongfu all day long, which made her feel quite disappointed in her heart, so she could only patiently find an opportunity to get close to Li Hongyu, she wanted to see what other secrets Li Hongyu had.

In fact, not only Qin Yue, but also Zhao Xin and Liu Dongfu felt that Li Hongyu's performance was unimaginable, so they paid more attention to him in their hearts.
