vs 444 Listening to the harp in the courtyard
Shi Quan saw Fang Jinshi coming back, so he came over and asked, "Why is it so long, can you leave?" ”
Fang Jinshi said: "That royal official invited me to go to the Jin National Ning Mansion for a visit, and promised to give me Miss Cui who played and sang on the stage. ”
Shi Quan immediately frowned and said, "What do you mean to go shopping?" Brother, the ambition of the wolf son of the Jin Kingdom, he will definitely start a war with my Great Song Dynasty in the future, we are Song people, even if we can't serve the imperial court, we must not act for the tiger, and work for the Jurchens, even if Xu is a big official, no matter how good-looking the woman is, he can't do it. ”
Fang Jinshi said solemnly: "Big brother, don't worry, I will always remember this, and I will never dare to forget that I am from Song." ”
Shi Quan stepped forward and pressed on his shoulder, and said earnestly: "Actually, I'm not worried about you else, it's just that you are indeed a little ...... I'm afraid that you're just afraid that you're beautiful, you're dizzy, and a misstep has become a hateful thing for the ages, you must know that the greater your ability, the greater the wrong things you may do, but you must take care of yourself. ”
Fang Jinshi said: "I know, I have never thought about doing things for the Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom in my life." ”
Feng Wan said to Shi Quan: "Are you annoyed, my brother is not a child, he is a person who has started a family, and he has his own way of doing things, so why do you always want to nag." ”
Shi Quandao: "What do you know, if I don't look at him well, if I take the wrong path, it will be too late to regret it." ”
Fang Jinshi said: "What the eldest brother said is reasonable, in the future, I and the women in my family will do something wrong, you two are the eldest brother and sister-in-law, you must not have any worries to hide and not say it, that is, you don't treat us as your own family." ”
Feng Wan said: "Or is my brother sensible and reasonable, he is more capable than you, and he still uses you to teach him every day?" ”
Fang Jinshi said: "Then let's go back." ”
Shi Quandao: "Have you talked to that Wang official?" ”
Fang Jinshi said: "He left me to wait and listen to that Cui girl playing the piano in the courtyard, ignore him, let's go back." ”
Shi Quandao: "It's always rude to do this, although you are determined to refuse him, but it's best not to offend, and it doesn't hurt to listen to the piano and then go back." ”
Fang Jinshi said: "Okay." He turned to his two women and said, "You two should listen to the teachings of your eldest brother and sister-in-law in the future, they say that you can't do what you shouldn't do, you must not do it, you know?" Especially the old five who just came, did you hear it? ”
Master Li replied: "I know, I will never dare to break the rules of the family. ”
Shi Quan hurriedly said: "I didn't mean that either. ”
Fang Jinshi said: "The eldest brother is like a father, I sometimes worry when I sleep at night, I am always afraid that something is not done right, and I am much more relieved to have the eldest brother by the side from time to time to remind me." ”
Shi Quan smiled and said: "Then I'll treat you as if I don't think I'm too talkative, in fact, you have always been a big festival, a small section, there are always so many things that are not satisfactory to me, maybe it's really my old-fashioned mind, it's not really your fault." ”
Fang Jinshi said: "You scolded me for being good to me, how could I not know." ”
Feng Wan said on the side: "You two brothers are talking about it, and you don't want to find a place to sit for a while, our women's bodies are very delicate, I am used to doing heavy work, brother, you don't know how to hurt yourself." ”
Fang Jinshi hurriedly said: "Okay, let's go upstairs and sit there, it may be late." ”
So he led everyone up to the original room on the second floor, and went outside to find Li Bao to come in, thinking that Li Bao couldn't wait outside for the carriage without eating.
After waiting for a long time, the sun went west, the night gradually shrouded, the lights in the house were lit, and Tang Kuo came forward and said: "Wang Daguan invites Fang Gongzi to the front yard to listen to the piano." ”
Fang Jinshi immediately got up and led everyone to follow Tang Kuobi to the front courtyard, where several low tables had been placed, Xin Xingzong and Dong Zhongsun were already seated, Fang Jinshi followed Tang Kuobi in, and when he saw that there was only one place in front of the table, he said to Shi Quan: "Big brother come and sit here." ”
Shi Quandao: "It's you who others invite, let's just stand." ”
Fang Jinshi thought about it, it was not polite to be here, so he sat down at the low table, he looked around, Dong Zhongsun raised his wine glass and saluted him from afar, Fang Jinshi thought about it again and again, it was true that he had never seen this person before.
Xin Xingzong sat there without saying a word, just bowed his head to eat and drink, and after a while, Wanyan Wushu and that Wang Yan walked out together, followed by Lu Xiao, the three of them walked in Lu Xiao sat down at a low table, and after Wanyan Wushu went to greet Fang Jinshi and a few others, he sat in the master seat with Wang Yan.
After sitting down, Wanyan Wushu argued to Tang Kuo: "Since everyone is here, please Miss Cui come out." ”
Tang Kuobi walked to the back, and after a while, Cui Niannu led a girl to slowly walk out from behind, at this time she changed into a green dress, under the candlelight, her eyes and teeth were bright, bright and beautiful, absolutely worthy of her name, she went to the middle of the field, attracting everyone to look at her.
Wanyan Wushu smiled slightly and said, "How about Miss Cui give a toast to the four distinguished friends I invited first?" ”
Cui Niannu bowed his head and said, "Yes." The girl next to her went to fetch a tray, in which there was a wine jug and a wine glass, Cui Niannu walked to the nearest Xin Xingzong and toasted him with a glass of wine, Xin Xingzong never left her figure from beginning to end, until she walked to Lu Xiao's table and turned her eyes slightly.
She gave Lu Xiao a glass of wine respectfully and said, "Mr. Lu, please." ”
Lu Xiao took it and looked at her face and said, "Jiangnan has a beauty, and this Cui girl is from Jiangnan at first glance." ”
Cui Niannu said with a smile: "Thank you Mr. Lu for your compliment." ”
Lu Xiao didn't say anything more, drank and sat down again, Cui Niannu turned to Dong Zhongsun and toasted, "Commander Dong, please." ”
Dong Zhongsun took it and looked at her and said: "It turns out that there is such a beautiful woman in the world, I didn't go to the boat before, and I thought it was some vulgar powder, I really regret it." ”
Cui Niannu bit his lip and said with a low smile: "It's not too late for Commander Dong to see me at this time." ”
Dong Zhaosun turned to his side and Fang Jinshi said: "How can I drink a cup enough, Fang Gongzi, I will also drink it for her, don't blame me." ”
Fang Jinshi said: "Then there will be the leader of the labor director." He understood that Dong Zhongsun was reminding him not to forget what he said to him in the toilet, but at this time, Fang Jinshi still didn't understand what Dong Zhongsun meant.
Dong Zhongsun smiled and said, "Then thank you Fang Gongzi." After finishing the wine, he drank two glasses of wine sent by Cui Niannu in succession, and then sat down.
How could a woman like Cui Niannu give him an extra glass of salute and deliberately omit Fang Jinshi, she walked to Fang Jinshi's table with wine and said, "Fang Gongzi, please." ”
Fang Jinshi took it and said, "Thank you Miss Cui for the wine." Saying that, Cui Niannu walked closer, and Shi Quan behind Fang Jinshi went to see her together, although Cui Niannu was used to seeing people face to face, but the three women with their faces standing behind Fang Jinshi looked at her together, which still made Cui Niannu feel a little strange, although these three women couldn't see their faces, they always felt that they would never be ugly.
After Fang Jinshi finished drinking, Cui Niannu turned around and left, but she glanced back at Fang Jinshi, when they met in the boat before, this Fang Jinshi was dressed ordinarily, his appearance was also average, and his conversation and knowledge were not all in her eyes, and even she already believed that Fang Jinshi was just an ordinary merchant who looked away from Yan Wushu, but the three masked women standing behind him at this time made her shake her previous judgment.
After watching her toast, she returned to the front, picked up the wine glass and said, "Everyone, how about we drink three glasses first?" ”
Everyone picked up the wine, drank three glasses together, and said after Yan Wushu: "I know that everyone is anxious and want to listen to Miss Cui play the piano as soon as possible, so I won't be verbose, so I will ask Miss Cui to play a few songs." ”
Cui Niannu saluted him, and the pianist put the piano in the middle, Cui Niannu sat in front of the piano, smiled, plucked the strings with his fingers, and the sound came out of the piano crisply.
The rhythm of this song she played was bright, the beginning was as anxious as thunder and lightning, and it slowed down slightly at the back, Fang Jinshi had never heard this song, but he thought it was very good, the sound of the piano was mostly melodious and scattered, such a rapid piano sound, Fang Jinshi also heard it for the first time, he just heard it pleasantly, whether it was good or not, he couldn't judge.
At the end of the song, Dong Zhongsun had already applauded loudly, Cui Niannu looked back at him and smiled and asked, "Commander Dong, what's so good about my piano sound?" Please ask for advice. ”
Dong Zhongsun said: "Miss Cui played it, naturally it is good." ”
Cui Niannu said: "Just now, I'm just trying to show off my skills, not what kind of music, where can I talk about good or bad." ”
Dong Zhongsun said stupidly: "That...... That's good too. ”
Cui Niannu covered her mouth and smiled, lowered her head to gently stroke the piano, and played a soft tune seriously, this song Fang Jinshi had heard it, but he couldn't name it, this Cui Niannu played it really well, the sound of the piano slowly flowed through her fingertips, like a song and a cry, and the soft chanting was very good.
She sang again, Dong Zhongsun paused for a moment and said tentatively: "I can applaud this time, right?" ”
Wanyan Wushu said: "Of course, Miss Cui's song is really good, if you don't applaud, how can you play such a beautiful piano sound for Miss Cui." ”
Dong Zhongsun shouted a few cheers, and after finishing his Yan Wushu, he waited for him to finish shouting, and said to Fang Jinshi: "Miss Cui plays alone, it may not be monotonous, Fang Gongzi is full of piano masters, if you are interested, you might as well play a song on the field, and let me wait to open my eyes." ”
Fang Jinshi said: "Wang Guanren said that he laughed, Miss Cui's piano skills are unparalleled in the world, Wang Guanren asked my people to play the piano in front of Miss Cui, didn't he make me make a fool of myself?" ”
Wanyan Wushu said: "That's not necessarily, although Miss Cui's piano skills are good, but she doesn't dare to be the first in the world, whether I can appreciate the unparalleled piano skills in the world, it only depends on how Brother Fang feels today." ”
After he finished saying this, all the eyes of everyone looked at this side together, Fang Jinshi turned his head to look at the third girl behind him, Xue Ling needless to say, she didn't have this strength, Fang Jinshi wanted to let the treasure bead go up and play a song, prevaricating and fooling the past, Master Li leaned over and whispered in his ear: "I listen to you." ”
Fang Jinshi laughed, but stood up and said: "Playing the piano, why is it difficult, although some of the women around me can play, but if it is a master, it can't compare to me." ”
All the people were stunned by his words, and even after finishing the Yan Wushu, they were surprised and asked, "Brother Fang can play himself?" ”
Fang Jinshi walked to the piano in the middle, plucked it with his hand, and asked, "Wang Guanren doesn't believe that I can play the piano?" ”
Wanyan Wushu said: "If you can hear Brother Fang's song on the piano, it will be worth the trip." ”
Fang Jinshi said: "Okay, I'll play a song and offer ugliness." He rolled up his sleeves, stroked the strings gently, and really played it, this is a song "Xiao Ya", Fang Jinshi has heard it countless times, this is the song that Yun Nuer played to him the most before, and then he asked Huang Jinmian to teach him a few times, and he can roughly play it.
It's just that he hasn't played for a long time, and he has made a few wrong notes in a row, and one note has been found several times but he can't play it correctly, Cui Niannu smiled, walked to his side and plucked it gently, it was the correct scale, Fang Jinshi played it a few more times, and couldn't find the quasi-tone that was out of tune, Cui Niannu helped him find it again, and with the help of Cui Niannu, he finally played the song completely.
Dong Zhongsun waited for him to stop and asked, "Is it over?" ”
Cui Niannu said: "It's done." ”
Dong Zhongsun shouted a few times "Okay", and he was the only one in the audience who shouted and cheered, and said after Yan Wushu: "It's really rare to hear Brother Fang playing the piano." ”
Fang Jinshi said: "I've been out of the ugly, so I don't need to let my people play it anymore." ”
After finishing Yan Wushu, he had no choice but to say: "Brother Fang personally went down, it is enough to appreciate his face." ”
Dong Zhongsun said: "Fang Gongzi and Miss Cui have just played a piano together, which is really a perfect match, which is enviable. ”
Cui Niannu hurriedly said: "Commander Dong said with a smile, how can I match the son above." ”
Wanyan Wushu said: "Commander Dong's words are also in line with my wishes, but Fang Gongzi has a heart, and I am afraid that he will not care about Miss Cui." ”
Dong Zhongsun said: "Yes, the beauty around Fang Gongzi is said to be a comparable Cui Niannu girl in the world, and I don't believe it if she kills me." ”
Wanyan Wushu said: "Then I have to ask Fang Gongzi." ”
Dong Zhongsun turned to Fang Jinshi and said, "Young Master Fang, if you have the opportunity to get Miss Cui, you will definitely be willing, right?" ”
Although Fang Jinshi looked at his face without doubt, it was obvious that Dong Zhongsun asked him to answer yes, because Dong Zhongsun told him in the toilet before that he couldn't let Cui Niannu fall into the hands of others no matter what, Fang Jinshi must have made up his mind slightly and replied, "Yes." ”
Dong Zhongsun laughed: "Yes, as long as it is a man, seeing a beautiful woman like Miss Cui will definitely be tempted, I don't believe that there is a man in this world who doesn't want to." ”
A man behind him said, "That's not necessarily. ”
Dong Zhongsun turned around, only to see Lu Xiao slowly stand up and say, "Wang Guanren, you said that you would help me go to Jiangnan to rob people, but have you arranged good manpower?" ”
Wanyan Wushu said: "It has been arranged, and you can leave on the same day." ”
Lu Xiao threw the wine glass in his hand on the ground and said, "Then what are you wasting time doing here, Wang Guanren, if you can't grab it, what should you do?" ”
Wanyan Wushu said: "I will do my best." ”
Lu Xiao looked at Cui Niannu and said, "If you can't grab it, keep her for me, can you?" His eyes were full of coldness, which made Cui Niannu's heart tremble, and Wanyan Wushu hesitated for a moment before saying: "I'm afraid this is a little embarrassing, there is only one Miss Cui, everyone wants it, how can I divide it?" ”
