Chapter 535 Flattered

"What's wrong with Jin Chuan?" Tao Jie still didn't react.

Tao Zhuoran stroked his beard and said: "At that time, the ancestors' families were poor, and the ancestors had to cut their hair for money, buy wine and food, how could there be a gold chuan to wear, if there is a gold chuan, you can go straight to the market to exchange money, why cut your hair." ”

If you don't have enough brushwork, you can still use your youth and shallow skills to excuse it, but there is no excuse for this mistake of common sense. Tao Jie came to his senses, bowed his head in shame, and said in a Xiǎo voice: "It's the grandson's negligence, I didn't think it through, I just want to draw Jin Chuan, it will look better...... Aweng, give me the painting, and re-draw ......."

With a hand, snatching the picture scroll, Tao Jie ran out in a hurry.

"This kid, máomáo, is irritable." Tao Zhuoran blamed, turned his head and smiled: "It made the guests laugh." ”

"Xiǎo Gongzi is also anxious and wants to give a gift at Tao Gong's birthday banquet." Han Rui said with a smile.

Dealing with it decently, Tao Zhuoran was very satisfied, after all, he was the most favored grandson, and he was distressed when he scolded him, and others blamed him, although he smiled on the surface and said yes, I am afraid that he hated it to death in his heart.

This kind of low-level mistake, Han Rui naturally will not offend, and he said a lot of good things, which is very pleasing to the ear, Tao Zhuoran is not only happy in his heart, but also more curious about Han Rui's identity.

came to visit Yu Shinan's friend, Han Rui was dressed in an unassuming dress, an ordinary green shirt, very low-key, no wonder at the beginning of coming in, Tao Zhuoran would treat him as a servant, but after a moment of talking, he found that Han Rui's mannerisms not only did not have the servant's low-voiced breath, but instead dealt with it like a stream, and his knowledge was extraordinary, and he immediately understood that he was afraid that he had misunderstood.

After a few words, Tao Zhuoran smiled and said: "Yangzhou, when I was young, the old man also went there and lived for a while, I don't know where Brother Xiǎo lived, maybe it was where I lived back then." ”

"It's ...... in the east of the city" Han Rui smiled and said the address of Qian Xu's house, not believing that Tao Zhuoran would see through it.

"Oh, I've heard that the old man lived in the south of the city at that time, and a friend's house ......" Tao Zhuoran smiled, his eyes flashed with a clear meaning, and the east of the city ...... It was a place where rich and noble families lived, and it seemed that this person's background was really not an ordinary person.

Just as he was about to dig for useful information, a servant walked in after asking for instructions, and said respectfully, "Master of the family, Mr. Wang is here. ”

"It's here so soon." Tao Zhuoran seemed to be a little happy, stood up, and said as if explaining to Han Rui: "I have known Jiāo for many years, I live in the southern suburbs of the county, and I am a little bit away, I thought I would arrive later, but I didn't think that I came early......

Han Rui naturally got up with him, his heart moved, and he couldn't help asking, "Mr. Wang...... Isn't it the Langya Wang ......"

"That's right." With a little approval in his eyes, Tao Zhuoran smiled and said, "If Brother Xiǎo has nothing to do, you might as well go with me to greet him." ”

Han Rui smiled and did not refuse, Tao Zhuoran nodded with a smile and walked out lightly.

In the courtyard, when I heard that the Wang family was coming, the Tao family went up and down to greet them, that is, some guests, uninvited, with admiration, greeted the Wang family, but for a while, the courtyard was crowded, surrounded by water, Han Rui was interested, retreated in the corner, and watched coldly.

Talking and laughing with Tao Zhuoran, he was talking kindly, it was an old man with silver hair and white beard, next to him were a few middle-aged people with extraordinary bearing, after looking at it twice, Han Rui directly skipped it, and carefully observed in the crowd, and did not find the person he was looking for, and his heart was filled with an inexplicable feeling, I don't know whether it was disappointment or rejoicing......

In the courtyard, Tao Zhuoran naturally welcomed the guests to the hall, and a group of guests, who felt that they were qualified, naturally followed the line, and the rest of the people dispersed one after another.

did not reveal his identity, Han Rui was very self-aware, he didn't join in the excitement, followed the crowd, withdrew from the courtyard, and walked around the Tao family's mansion, anyway, today's banquet, guests gathered, and every corner of the mansion was served by servants, bringing fruits, melons, pastries and wine, so as not to be left out.

casually walked to the back garden, before the xiǎo pond next to the railing, Han Rui lowered his head and looked at the green pool water, a few silver-white xiǎo fish, swimming freely in the water, rolling up bursts of boo, circle of ripples, slowly spreading, one bo after another, there was no time to subside.

Han Rui looked carefully, in fact, he was already thinking about things in his heart, but he deliberately suppressed his thoughts, he was confused, mimi was confused, and when he came to his senses, it was already sunset, and the banquet was about to start.

At the right time, a servant came over and said with a smile: "Childe, the banquet is over, please go to the hall and sit down." ”

Han Rui happily went, and when he came to the hall, he found that this was the upper seat, although it was only at the end of the ceremony, it could be seen that Tao Zhuoran was deeply impressed by Han Rui who sent the letter, and specially waited for the arrangement. Han Rui didn't have any special feelings about this, but he still bowed lightly to Tao Zhuoran, who was talking to others, and sat down at the table.

The living room is very spacious, with two rows of seats, more than enough to accommodate nearly 40 guests, and a large space in the center for performances. Han Rui sat at the end of the second row, next to a talkative young literati of about thirty years old, thinking that he was a relative of the Tao family, but he was quite polite and enthusiastic.

"Brother xiǎo, have a drink."

Han Rui naturally did not refuse, raised the cup to drink, on top of the banquet, although the banquet has not officially begun, but the wine cup has been served, the guests are obsessed with drinking, whispering, talking and laughing, but also lively.

After chatting for a while, the young literati's face suddenly showed a mysterious sè, his body approached, and he asked: "Brother xiǎo, I heard that Gongzi Xie is going to perform on the piano tonight to celebrate the birthday of Old Man Tao, is there really such a thing?" ”

Han Rui was stunned, a little crying and laughing, it seems that the young literati really regarded themselves as relatives of the Tao family, thinking that they knew the inside information.

"This ...... But I have never heard of it. Han Rui shook his head honestly, with a little curiosity, and asked softly: "Listening to Brother Tai's meaning, this Gongzi Xie's piano skills must be extraordinary." ”

At this moment, it was the turn of the young literati to be stunned, and said very strangely: "Brother xiǎo, haven't you heard of Gongzi Xie's reputation?" ”

Seeing the young literati Lu out, you are a Martian, Han Rui laughed and explained: "This brother Tai, who is from Yangzhou, has only recently come to Yuezhou, and I have never heard of the name of Gongzi Xie, so I hope I can advise." ”

"I see." The young literati suddenly realized, expressed their understanding, and said with great interest: "Yangzhou, the capital of Jiang, is a good place, with beautiful mountains and rivers, beautiful scenery like forests, especially outstanding people......

Sure enough, a black line appeared in Han Rui's head, and he had to interrupt and reminded: "Cough, when it comes to outstanding people, it is not as talented as Yuezhou, and the two kings alone are beyond the reach of the dust......"

Hearing Han Rui mention Wang Xi's father and son, the young literati thought it was true, and his heart was happy, and he added: "There is also Xie An Xie Cheng, who will be the prime minister of Dongshan, An Shi will not come out, and ......he will be like the common people."

"Yes, yes, I almost forgot." Han Rui nodded and guessed: "That Gongzi Xie, isn't it Prime Minister Xie?" ”

"It's not hit, but it's not far." The young literati said with a smile: "It's a righteous son, but it's very important to the Xie family, and he treats him like a parent." ”

Han Rui nodded slightly, and he didn't feel strange, in ancient times, it was not uncommon to adopt a son and recognize a righteous son, and it was a common means to continue the family and maintain prosperity.

Before becoming the righteous son of the Xie family, what is the origin of that Xie Gongzi, what is his identity, it is a hidden secret, except for the Xie family, or people close to the Xie family, the young literati do not know, but they just know that this Xie Gongzi has extraordinary piano skills, but he lives in a simple place on weekdays and rarely plays in public.

"Since he rarely plays, how do you know that his piano skills are outstanding." Accustomed to xing, Han Rui questioned.

"Yuezhou dignitaries, celebrities and Confucians have all heard of it, will they still deceive us?" The young literati said, his eyes glazed with anticipation.

Han Rui smiled, did not dwell on the matter, and the young literati said some scenic spots in Yangzhou, the banquet also began, everyone raised their glasses to the birthday star Tao Zhuoran, after a lively time, also sat down, enjoyed the song and dance, the banquet was full of laughter, very lively.

After a long time, the banquet was halfway in, and the dancing girl performing in the hall quietly retreated, and did not attract everyone's attention.

Strangely, in the room on the side of the hall, behind the veil, someone pinched his fingers and slowly plucked the strings.

At that time, the graceful sound of the piano, like the sound of heaven, sounded leisurely, like flowing water, shallow and thin overflowing.

At the beginning, the sound of the piano is like the bird language of the empty mountain, the valley is singing, attracting the colorful finches on the treetops to squeak and contend, and suddenly the sound of the piano turns low, like the bamboo of the wind and the courtyard, the rain hits the plantain, the compact straight knocks on the heart, startles away the birds, and suddenly, the piano sound folds back, just like the beads go to the yu plate, Lu drops the peony, giving people a sense of joy and peace.

This small sound, although it is faint and almost inaudible, is as clear and continuous, as if it is about to penetrate into the hearts of the people, filling the ears of the people, attracting people and indulging in it.

Quietly, a figure in a white dress appeared in the hall, at the beginning, everyone was unaware, intoxicated with string music, suddenly the sound of the piano stopped and started again, like a scorching thunder on the ground, everyone woke up, only to see the graceful figure in the hall.

The sound of the piano is sonorous like iron, like a torrential wind, thunder and lightning, thousands of armies fighting, thousands of horses galloping, full of heroic and awe-inspiring, the more urgent, the tighter and tighter the play, so that others hear the blood of the blood, just want to roar and get up, cathartic jidàng emotions.

Leisurely, the sound of the piano is slow, the galloping music becomes the wind that sweeps the sea, peaceful and omnipresent, light and elegant to the earth, the sound of the piano is floating, leisurely dàngdàng......

The figure in the hall also stretched her body slightly, her body seemed to be swept up by the breeze, and the rhythm of the music, happily stepping and dancing, her hands seemed to be gently holding huā petals, trembling softly forward, the moon-white sè gauze skirt was dazzlingly swirling, and the slender and soft arms suddenly vibrated lightly, waving gently to both sides, and two white silk long belts appeared in the sleeves.

The long white silk belt gently swirled, gently fluttering around the body, constantly rotating, transforming into a variety of wonderful circles, like ripples in the water, unpredictable, dream-like, full of beauty.

The beautiful sound of the piano is still there, accompanied by a beautiful dance, at this moment, the whole hall is silent, and all the people are deeply intoxicated by it, and they lose themselves...... I don't know how long it took for everyone to come back to their senses, only to find that the hall was empty again, but it had already been dispersed.

"Okay, that's wonderful, it's fun."

"It is worthy of Gongzi Xie, the sound of the piano is extraordinary......"

"By the way, the NV who danced just now, I don't know who it is?"

When he woke up, the guests in the hall were immediately amazed, and they praised him with a lot of praise, but he didn't pay attention, and Han Rui, who was sitting in the corner, disappeared into the hall quietly.

At this time, Han Rui walked quickly behind the scenes with a moving mood, his fingers touched the gauze curtain, hesitated, resolutely opened it, flashed in, saw the scene inside, and was stunned for a moment.

The person in question was not there, there were only two or three maids, who were packing up the strings, and found that Han Rui had broken in without asking, and seemed to be a little frightened, and opened his mouth to call.

"It's rude, it's rude." Han Rui hurriedly apologized, and said abruptly: "I am a friend of Gongzi Xie, I heard that he was here, and I came over to say hello, why, he left?" ”

A maid's eyes flashed, and she vaguely remembered that Han Rui was a guest in the hall, so she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Gongzi is late, Gongzi Xie has only left for a short time......"

"Oh, thanks for the pointers." Han Rui continued to confess, exited the house, and walked away quickly.

"This son ......"

Ignoring the call of the servants of the Tao family, Han Rui hurried out of the mansion and looked at the streets and alleys, but what caught his eye was the situation of the carriage leaving briskly, and there were faint bells.

Han Rui stood for a moment, his eyes were deep and distant, and suddenly, a fragment of the image appeared in his mind, on a sunny and breezy morning, on the shore of Yangzhou Wharf, a person held a willow, claiming that his family lived in the south of Yin County, Shanyin, Yuezhou......

After a long time, Han Rui slowly collected his mood, and did not return to participate in the banquet, and walked straight to the city inn.

The next morning, before dawn, Han Rui woke up the two servants, washed and eaten, and immediately took a boat to Xiǎo Town, more than 30 miles away in the southern suburbs of the county.

ǎo town is not xiǎo, very prosperous, here is the settlement of the Wang clan, hundreds of families in the town, all surnamed Wang, after Han Rui arrived at the place, he inquired all the way, only to find the destination, a piece of green bamboo surrounded by the Wang family's house, this is one of the residences of several descendants of the Wang family.

It should be here, lightly trimmed his clothes and appearance, Han Rui stretched out his hand to stop his entourage, and personally stepped forward to knock mén, after a while, xiǎomén opened half of it, and a Tsing Yi servant leaned out, glanced at Han Rui's master and servant, and arched his hand: "This son, I don't know what's going on?" ”

"Dare to ask the house, the prince is here." Han Rui asked with a smile, his attitude was kind, like a muslim wind.

The servant in Tsing Yi hesitated and said: "There are several sons in our mansion, I don't know what the prince is looking for......"

"Wang Yingluo, Brother Wang." Han Rui hurriedly said, a little more apprehensive in his heart.

"Wang Yingluo......" The servant in Tsing Yi frowned, looked at Han Rui carefully, shook his head and said: "This son, is he in the wrong place, there is no such person in our mansion." ”

"How so?" Han Rui was stunned.

The servant in Tsing Yi said: "I'm sorry, there is really no such person in the house, there are too many surnames of the kings in the town, so the prince should inquire elsewhere." ”

"Impossible, this is the address he clearly said......" Han Rui was about to ask clearly, but the servant in Tsing Yi smiled and apologized, and then retreated into the mansion and closed the big mén casually

Seeing this situation, Han Ruiyu stopped talking, and his forehead was locked into Sichuan characters.

"Lang Jun, why don't we go to the town and inquire." Two attendants hurriedly stepped forward to ask for instructions.

Han Rui nodded lightly, and deliberately walked a few steps away with his entourage, asking for advice from the people nearby, and synthesizing everyone's news, it came to the result that the servants in Tsing Yi did not lie, and the Wang family under the green bamboo forest did not have Wang Yingluo, and it had nothing to do with the characters and names of several sons.

"How is it possible, a year ago, I received calligraphy and paintings from them." Han Rui couldn't believe it, but everyone wouldn't be lying to themselves.

Han Ruisi cháo ups and downs, some regrets, when he met the monk Huaihai in Yangzhou, due to various reasons, he didn't ask him, Wang Yingluo and Jiang Zhen's affairs, so that now, upset luàn, sulk.

"Lang Jun, what now?" The attendant asked.

Han Rui forced himself to calm down, took a few steps, turned around and said, "Let's go and continue to visit Yongxin Temple." ”

Back then, the monk Huaihai was in Yongxin Temple, met Wang Yingluo, entrusted by him, to send a painting to himself, presumably the monk in the temple, should know a little about the situation, otherwise, only to return to Yangzhou, to Huaihai monk for advice.

Came and went in a hurry, at noon the next day, Han Rui came to Yongxin Temple Mountain again, and the monk was still here to greet the guests, and when he found Han Rui's figure, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward, clasped his hands and said: "Amitabha, Wang Gongzi is finally here, and the monk has been waiting for a long time." ”

"It's really gratifying that the master still remembers him." Han Rui smiled, understanding that the xiǎohuā he had played had worked.

"The son is imposing and talented, and naturally it is unforgettable." The Zhike monk xiǎoxiǎo flattered, beckoned and said, "Hurry up, go and inform the abbot." ”

The xiǎo novice next to him responded and walked away quickly. Seeing that Han Rui was a little puzzled, the monk smiled and said: "The abbot has a saying, as long as the son arrives, he will immediately greet him in person." ”

"Oh, how dare you bother to discern the master, it should be xiǎozi who went to meet him." Han Rui said, hurriedly entered the temple, and walked towards the incense pavilion of the east courtyard.

The two groups of people met on the way, and when they saw the old monk who was surrounded by the great Xiǎo monk, wearing a yellow robe, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and a group of amiable monks, Han Rui naturally understood that this was the abbot of Yongxin Temple, and immediately bent down to salute.

"Abbot, this is the prince." The monk is introduced on the side.

"Amitabha." The discerning monk was happy to be in sè, and said with a smile: "After waiting for two days, I didn't see the prince coming, and I thought I would miss the opportunity, but fortunately I was protected by the Buddha......

"Master Abbot is polite, which really flatters Xiǎozi."
