"Brother Zhi, you put me down, go back to the palace first, I'll go back to Caofu by myself......" The two entered Luoyang City, and Zhao Yan turned her head and said to Liu Zhi on the horse.

Liu Zhi ignored what Zhao Yan said, only galloped his horse, ran to the outskirts of the city, and bowed his head and smiled at Zhao Yan. Zhao Yan only looked at Liu Zhi blankly, not knowing what he wanted, but she stopped talking, and she also looked forward to being able to accompany Liu Zhi for a while.

After a while, she saw the two of them come to a big mansion, Zhao Yan said "ah", she recognized that this was the Liwu Marquis Mansion, and asked, "Brother Zhi still wants to say goodbye to his wife and go back to the palace?" ”

"Are you still called 'Madame'?" Liu Zhi stopped the horse and looked at Zhao Yan with a smile, Zhao Yan blushed but said, "Hmph, I don't talk to you anymore, I always bully me." ”

"Whisper, there is someone in front of the gate, I want to take me back to the palace, let's go in through the side door." After saying that, the two got off the horse, and Liu Zhi took Zhao Yan into the side door, took off the yellow cloth on his left arm, and said, "Don't worry about me when I see my mother." But when they saw that the bite mark of the white snake on his left arm had disappeared and only two red dots remained, the two of them looked at each other with joy.

Liu Zhi took Zhao Yan to the back garden where the two of them were on weekdays and said, "Yan'er, you stay here for a while, and I'll come back after talking to my mother for a while." Without waiting for Zhao Yan to agree, he transferred to the noble house of the Bo Garden, leaving Zhao Yan stunned in place.

Zhao Yan had nothing to do, playing with flowers and trees in the garden, and said in her heart, "Tomorrow is Qingming, although I can't go home to worship at the tomb, I have to go to the open space outside the city with my brother to worship my father and mother......"

was thinking to herself, but seeing that Liu Zhi had walked out of the house with the beautiful woman in her arms, Zhao Yan greeted the beautiful woman and said, "Madam! The beautiful woman asked in a gentle voice, "Child, you and Zhi'er were in a hurry yesterday, can you accompany me to some dinner tonight?" ”

Zhao Yan hurriedly said, "Yan'er is willing to serve Madame for dinner." When I looked up, I saw that the beautiful woman looked at herself carefully with a pair of beautiful eyes, and the more she looked at the beautiful woman, the softer and more joyful she was, but she still only smiled kindly, only to see Zhao Yan's face flushed, and she lowered her head.

The beautiful woman walked over and took Zhao Yan's hand and told Aunt Mingfang to serve the prepared dishes, Liu Zhi only smiled and said nothing, Zhao Yan said in her heart, "I don't know what the hell he is thinking." She had also had dinner with Liu Zhi with a beautiful woman before, but she didn't seem to be a little solemn like today, and she was a little uneasy in her heart.

"Although today is the Cold Food Festival, but the old body has not healed, let's eat some hot food. No need to be polite, Yan'er sit next to me. The beautiful woman, Liu Zhi, and Zhao Yan were seated separately.

Usually, Aunt Mingfang and the maidservant are waiting on the side, picking up vegetables and cleaning up for the master, but seeing the beautiful woman sandwiching a piece of meat and scooping a spoonful ......of bamboo shoot soup for Zhao Yan, Zhao Yan panicked and hurriedly got up and said, "Madam, how dare you be a ......?"

"Mother!" Before the beautiful woman finished speaking, she was hurriedly stopped by Liu Zhi, "The child has not yet ......"

"Really? It turns out that ...... Scold...... But I'm in a hurry...... Cough ......" Seeing that Liu Zhi was in a hurry, the beautiful woman took out a silk handkerchief to cover her mouth and smiled, but she couldn't help coughing.

"Madame! Are you alright? Zhao Yan hurriedly stood up, picked up the ginseng tea on the side, and gently stroked the back of the beautiful woman, the beautiful woman took the tea, took a sip, nodded, put down the tea bowl and held Zhao Yan's hand with both hands and said, "Child, how many times have you been here, I still don't know what you like to eat?" What kind of clothes do you like? Is it cute to watch a play? ……”

"Mother, you have asked so many questions, how can Yan'er answer?" Liu Zhi said with a smile.

Although Zhao Yan didn't understand what the purpose of the beautiful woman's question was, she still answered respectfully one by one, but she listened to the beautiful woman, "Child, I heard Zhi'er say that your father and mother have passed away, and your home is in Jizhou, we can still be regarded as fellow villagers. ”

"Yan'er also has an older brother......" Then the beautiful woman asked Zhao Yan how to live at home, childhood experience, Zhao Yan also knew that she would have to tell the beautiful woman in the future, and they all answered truthfully, saying that when their mother was sick and had no medicine, how the brothers and sisters sold the land to buy medicine and bury their mother, and how they came to Luoyang, it was already tears and ripples.

"Son, I've been miserable for you all these years!" But when I saw that the beautiful woman was also touched by it, there were tears in her eyes.

Zhao Yan hurriedly suppressed her tears, wiped her tears for the beautiful woman, and said guiltily, "It's all Yan'er's bad, and it makes Mrs. Yan'er sad......"

"Today is the Cold Food Festival, Yan'er wishes Mrs. a long life, Brother Zhi...... The son is benevolent and filial for a thousand years, and the lady and the son can talk about the family forever! Zhao Yan couldn't bear the beauty to continue to be sad, so she diverted the conversation, she wanted to say that she would live for a hundred years, but when she thought that this was the emperor's mother, she became ten thousand years.

"Why did you become a son again?" Liu Zhizhi knew that Zhao Yan's face was tender, and he didn't dare to call himself "Brother Zhi" in front of the beautiful woman, and said with a smile.

Zhao Yan's face flushed, and the beautiful woman said again, "Child, you don't have a father and mother, but I only have two sons and no daughters, if you don't dislike it, are you willing to call me 'mother'?" The beautiful woman's words were full of anticipation.

"How dare Yan'er dislike Madame, it's just ......" Although Zhao Yan's heart was moved, how much she looked forward to having her mother to cherish her, but she didn't dare, looking at the beautiful woman's earnest eyes, and finally only timidly called "Mother!" ”

The beautiful woman was very pleased, nodded her head again and again, and gave Zhao Yan a lot of food, Liu Zhi smiled on the side, "Mother, are you still afraid that Yan'er will not call your mother in the future?" ”

Zhao Yan didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, blushed and only lowered her head to eat, and the three of them had some dinner.

After eating, Liu Zhi took Zhao Yan's hand and went out, turned back to the beautiful woman and said, "I have something to say to Yan'er, and I will go back to the palace after speaking, you can rest early!" The beautiful woman smiled and shook her head, but she was very happy in her heart.

"Brother Zhi, aren't you in a hurry to go back to the palace?" But seeing Zhao Yan being dragged by Liu Zhi to a pavilion in the back garden, Liu Zhi asked Zhao Yan to sit on the side of the pavilion, and he sat on the stone bench in the center of the pavilion. He smiled and plucked the strings.

Zhao Yan didn't speak, just listened to the piano quietly. She has been in Caofu for a long time, although she has not invited a special pianist to teach, but she has heard Mr. play some tunes, rough piano theory, only listen to Liu Zhi play the full horn tune, is to slow down the positive tune on the three strings and one emblem.

But I saw Liu Zhi plucking the strings while plucking the strings, the sound of the piano was low at the beginning, and Liu Zhi sang with the sound of the piano in his mouth, "There are beauties, and you will never forget them." ”

"Ahh It was Sima Xiangru who played "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" for Zhuo Wenjun when he pursued her! Although she had never heard of this song, she had seen the words in this song in the book.

"Brother Zhi played this "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" for me, is it ......" Thinking of this, his face flushed like drops.

But I heard this sentence "there are beauties", the sound of the piano rose from the palace merchant all the way to the feather, it seems that when the gentleman first saw the beauty, a heart was calm and waveless, and suddenly it was like a stormy wave beating; And the sound of the piano of "never forget" lingers and stirs between the two high notes of "Zheng Yu", which shows that the man is thinking about it day and night after seeing the beauty, and his heart is shaking and he will never forget.

Zhao Yan remembered that when she first met Liu Zhi in the weaving and embroidery workshop, she was a gentleman at first sight, and she never forgot it, did Brother Zhi never forget him at first sight?

Then Liu Zhi sang, "I don't see you for a day, and my thoughts are like crazy." The sentence "I don't see you for a day" turned sharply from the high-pitched voice of the previous sentence, and there were several palace tunes in a row, which seemed to say that after the gentleman couldn't see the beauty, everything was low and monotonous, and it was boring; And then "thinking like crazy" is the palace tune all the way down, from the next feather tune to the palace tune, as if to say that you can't see the beauty, the gentleman is crazy, the mood is low and depressed, and it seems to have fallen to the bottom.

Zhao Yansizhi was sad that day, she was seriously ill for days, lying in bed, stupid and stupid every day, like a walking corpse, she played several palace tunes in a row, if she wasn't sick, she was afraid that she would be crazy.

In the next sentence, "the phoenix flies and soars all over the world to seek the phoenix", from the palace tune at the bottom of the low valley to the upward, and then rises to the second feather tone, it seems that the gentleman is no longer low and stagnant, but regains the courage to find the phoenix trace in the four seas, full of motivation.

In the next sentence, "The helpless beauty is not on the east wall", the sound of the piano turned sharply again.

Zhao Yan thought in her heart, "Did Brother Zhi also visit me everywhere in those days?" Did he go to the 'weaving and embroidery workshop', or to the 'drunken immortal residence'? Alas! I was only sad in the house, and if I had been to these places again, maybe Brother Zhi and I would have met sooner. Liu Zhizi didn't know what Zhao Yan was thinking at this time.

But I heard that "the piano is the language, and the conversation is heartfelt." The sound of the song is high again, light and smart, I think it is the gentleman who is happy when he sees the beauty again, and he pours out his heart with this song, telling about the lovesickness and love for days, as if Brother Zhi is playing the piano for me at this time.

Another sentence "When to see Xu Xi, comfort me hesitating." "The piano has a gentle sound, and the tone is sometimes high and sometimes low. The ecstasy when the two of them saw each other again had also faded, and I didn't know what your heart was, when you would be able to marry me, my heart was hesitating.

"Brother Zhi, I have already promised you myself, don't hesitate." Zhao Yan secretly said in her heart when she heard this, but her face was flushed with shame when she thought about it.

"I am willing to match virtue and join hands!" The sound of the piano is high, as if to say that my ambition is firm, and my promise is like a mountain, but can I match your peerless appearance and gentle conduct, we will grow old together, I will never fail you, it is a gentleman who promises to the beauty.

"Brother Zhi is a humble gentleman, so he naturally deserves it! Deserved! Zhao Yan's heart fluctuated.

The last sentence "Do not let me fly, let me perish!" The sound of the piano trembled, and at last it fell into a deep valley.

saw Zhao Yan sit up from the edge of the pavilion suddenly, and shouted, "No, no!" Yan'er is willing to fly with you, Yan'er doesn't want to see you sad and die! I don't know when, Zhao Yan had already walked to Liu Zhi's side, holding Liu Zhi's left hand with both hands. The sound of the piano also stopped abruptly at this time, Liu Zhi raised his head, and saw that Zhao Yan's eyes were full of tears, joy and excitement.

Seeing the beauty burst into tears, Liu Zhi said softly, "Yan'er, have you agreed?" ”

Zhao Yan nodded, "I agreed!" ”
