Next. Although Su Xue said that she was good at drinking, she didn't drink anymore, but asked Shen Mo one by one and asked for advice on the 'beautiful scenery of the good day'.

Shen Mo only loved to listen to Kunqu Opera in his previous life, but if he really wanted to sing a song, he couldn't even be considered an audiophile, he could only say that he was half a layman.

However, Su Xue didn't care, because it was very difficult to sing in Kunshan, and not everyone was like Mr. Yufeng Wei Liangfu, who was obsessed with this kind of stuff in the lower three doors, and he didn't even do it.

All she had to do was silently complete the lyrics, and then hum a similar tune, just like the passage of 'The Beautiful Days', and it could be refined little by little, and turned into a real art that people can enjoy.

Since it was promised to others, I wanted to continue the song. Shen Mo naturally didn't have any reason to refuse, so he picked up a chopstick, tapped the wine glass, and sang in a low voice repeatedly: "Then you are like a beautiful flower, like water flowing for ......years" This is also no way, because it is too amateurish, so it is not good to let go of the throat and sing; Because I can't remember the words, I have to sing it repeatedly to remember a little bit.

Su Xue was not in a hurry, I saw her unfold Xue Tao's note, twist up the thin eyebrow pencil, and write down every word she heard.

After singing it a few times, Shen Mo consciously found a tune, and finally dared to let go of his voice and sing: "It's A'er who is looking for it all over the place, and is pitying himself in the boudoir." Before turning the peony bar, close to the edge of the lake and the rock, I loosened the collar buttons, the clothes were wide, and the sleeves were stained with teeth. Then wait for you to endure and sleep for a while, is that the place where you have met? Looking at each other, it seems that there is no word about the benefits of meeting each other......"

Stumbling, it was easy to finish singing, and Shen Mo breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay now, right?" saw Su Xue bowing her head with a flushed face; Looking at the paper again, it only says 'and you put the neckline ...... wood' and the "wood" is on the side of the pine, and it is obvious that it stopped here.

"What's wrong?" Shen Mo asked strangely, and his heart said, 'I remembered it so easily, aren't you wasting my feelings?' ’

Su Xue raised her head, and said with a little anger in her eyes: "My lord, although Su Xue invited you to come to the boat for advice, she didn't think about recommending herself to the pillow!" ”

was stunned for a while, and then looked at Su Xue's unfinished lyrics, and then suddenly realized, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Everyone Su misunderstood, this is really just the original lyrics." He spread his hands and said: "That's why I stopped abruptly, and now you tell me to try to get this out, so I can sing it without distractions, how can I take the opportunity to take advantage of you?" ”

What 'loose buttons, wide clothes, sleeves with teeth' is clearly a silver song! It's no wonder that Su Xue is angry; However, people's "Peony Pavilion" was originally a glamorous song, so Shen Mo was also very aggrieved.

Su Xue looked at his eyes, believed this statement, got up and apologized: "Su Xue is too sensitive, please forgive me." ”

"It doesn't matter." Shen Mo shook his head and said: "This song is put on hold now, and if you go back thirty years, you will never dare to sing it." ”

"Yes, the world is saying that people's hearts are no longer ancient." Su Xue sighed faintly and said softly: "I heard that thirty years ago, Jinling City was full of loyal elders, but now it is said that they are all slippery philistines......

Emperor Taizu, with his strong personal ability, designed a comprehensive ruling system for his descendants. After an initial period of normal operation, the rigid, mechanical, and uneconomical system began to show a negative side. After the rule of Hong Xian, the regime deteriorated, and the contradictions caused by various 'ancestral systems' came to the fore. From the central government to the localities, from the army to the government, corruption was rampant, and the regime of the Ming Dynasty was lifeless and full of decay, which made the morality, ethics and patriarchal concepts that maintained this system also seriously shaken.

On the other hand, the prosperity of the city's economy, the growth of the citizen class, and especially the incomparably active industry and commerce along the southeast coast, clearly show a fresh vitality that is very different from the past. On behalf of the thinkers of this emerging force, the Wang Xuezuo faction represented by Wang Gen came into being, creating a group of rebels in the religious society. They launched a fierce attack on feudal etiquette, and all traditional concepts have been reversed and earth-shaking changes have taken place!

This is also the fundamental reason why Wang Xue was regarded as a heresy by the imperial court and banned several times!

Novels and operas, which have always been regarded as small skills of carving insects, have been favored because of their obscure criticism of reality, and have changed to be alongside the traditional Confucian classics, and their social status has been unprecedentedly improved. There has never been an era in which popular fiction has entered the courts, swept the literary world, penetrated into all strata of society, and been recognized, with bureaucrats taking the lead in publishing them.

In terms of the themes of novels and operas, they include non-realistic history, legends, and stories of gods and monsters; and realistic themes that face the world, including public cases and world conditions.

Compared with other themes, the opera novels with realistic themes can be described as a mirror of the contemporary era, which more directly reflects the arrogance and extravagance of the ruling group, the struggle for loyalty and annihilation, the social [***], the political darkness, and the vast number of living beings in the market.

Among them, the works that reflect the theme of love and marriage are the most, which is different from the previous works that uphold etiquette. They start from affirming the value of human existence, boldly affirm people's surname desire as a legitimate requirement, and describe young men and women breaking through the barriers of feudal etiquette and religion and pursuing a beloved love life, with obvious humanistic colors, and even marking the awakening of an era.

However, its role cannot be overestimated. Because the emerging forces, although they attach importance to their own values, want to fight against traditional forces, for example, they write love and surnames, criticize hypocrisy, which is directly aimed at the reactionary theory of 'preserving heavenly principles and destroying human desires'.

But they don't see the bright future of fighting for it, or rather, no one has the ability to provide them with a blueprint of beauty. As far as the eye can see, there is a lot of devastation and decay, and there is more than enough exposure and criticism, but they do not know how to fight and how to pursue achievements, so the idea of seeking escape and timely pleasure is popular. There are many long and unbridled descriptions of silver filth, and even a number of silver books and songs that are written with intention and are dedicated to the surname are even more criticized by people of science while appreciating them in private!

Such a thing cannot be truly recognized by the common people.

That's why Su Xue will have the sigh of 'the world is down, and the people's hearts are not ancient'.

However, she still loved this piece too much after all, got up and sat down in front of the piano, played a section lightly and slowly, and asked Shen Mo, "Is this the key?" ”

Shen Mo shook her head slightly, and she played it again, until Shen Mo felt almost over, and she had to fine-tune the details to make him feel perfect.

Shen Mo was moved by her persistent pursuit, and there were no selfish distractions in his heart, so he took the trouble to listen, and after listening to it, he gave her opinions and helped her improve the song little by little.

Time passed quickly, just a short piece of music, but it took two people a night, and when it finally came to an end, the east was already white.

Su Xue played the song again coherently, listened silently, and said with a smile: "I think this is already the best, but obviously it is not enough, and the future excellence can only depend on the Su family." ”

"Adults call me Su Xue......" fulfilled this wish, Su Xue was relieved and did not show any tiredness.

"Okay," Shen Mo nodded, looking at the sky outside, "I should go too." ”

Su Xue's expression paused for a moment, then nodded lightly and said, "I'll send it to my lord." "Get up.

Shen Mo also got up, stretched and said, "Can you tell me, what happened last night?" ”

"What...... What's going on? Su Xue said with a flustered expression.

"Your behavior yesterday was very abnormal, not to mention such strange requests, just look at your heart when you entered the inner cabin," Shen Mo looked at her with blazing eyes, "Why was you relieved when you came out?" ”

Su Xue wanted to prevaricate in the past, but after thinking about it, I'm going to die anyway, and my younger brothers and sisters won't be able to survive, but I can't let those bad guys get away with it anymore!

After her complexion changed a few times, she said slowly: "Well, there is nothing to hide now." Saying that, he looked at Shen Mo calmly and said, "Actually, I'm a woman." ”

"Spies?" Shen Mo was slightly surprised, but not too shocked.

"Yes, when I was in Jinling City, I was entangled by the children of a noble man, someone helped me get out, and spent a lot of money to redeem the deed of sale for me." Su Xue said softly: "I know, this is not necessarily a good thing, so I asked them what they want me to do." As he spoke, he glanced at Shen Mo and said, "They asked me to approach the adults and try to charm them." ”

Shen Mo couldn't help but wonder in his heart, I don't know why they are so confident, is it true that he looks like a lustful person?

"Of course I don't answer." Su Xue continued: "Who knew that they had already arrested my younger brothers and sisters in my hometown to force me to comply. ”

"Your brother and sister were rescued?" Shen Mo asked.

Su Xue lowered her head and shook slowly: "No ......"

"Why?"

"Because when the matter comes, I find that I can't do it......" Su Xue bit her lower lip tightly, and said with a strong suppression of the sadness in her heart: "The Buddha said that all living beings are equal. No matter whether you are rich or low, whether you are close or not, it is the same human life, if you exchange someone else's surname for your own life...... What is the point of a younger sibling's surname being just to transfer his own pain to others? ”

Silent though he didn't agree with her thoughts...... If someone asks him to take someone else's surname in exchange for the safety of his relatives, he will not hesitate to do it. But this did not prevent him from respecting a good person like Su Xue, and he couldn't help but say solemnly: "Where is Brother and Sister Ling?" ”

"It should be nearby," Su Xue whispered, "Yesterday...... I should say that the night before yesterday, I was allowed to see each other. ”

"You give me what they look like," said in a deep voice, "I'll help you find ......"

A glimmer of hope rose in Su Xue's heart, after all, the other party was the lord of the house. imagined but shook his head and said: "In the vast sea of people, where to find it?" ”

"Even if you can't find it, at least you can make those people go to the trap." Shen Mo waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, as long as I am in this Suzhou City, I will definitely be able to find it." ”

"Then, it's going to be a hassle." Su Xue got up and went into the inner cabin, and after a while, she took out two portraits, on which were two teenage children, a man and a woman, with eyebrows matching her.

"Hmm." Shen Mo glanced at it, then put it away and said, "You can go with me too, I'll find you a safe place so that those people don't cause harm." ”

Su Xue shook her head lightly and said, "I have to confuse them here, lest the dog jump over the wall and harm my younger siblings." He said with a faint smile and said: "Don't worry, my lord, Su Xue has been wandering in the dust for all these years, and she has the ability to defend herself, and they can't move me." ”

Shen Mo thought about it: "The city is just about to form a band and dance, and I want you to be the teacher, so that no one will be suspicious." "This person is so hypocritical, he is obviously poaching, but he still wants to make people feel that he is thinking about her.

Su Xue was really moved, and nodded slowly: "The adults are kind and kind, and the little woman is happy to go, just to avoid those people's suspicions, it is better to say later." ”

Seeing that she insisted, Shen Mo no longer persuaded her, and said goodbye: "Okay, I will send someone to protect you secretly." ”

As he spoke, he walked out of the cabin, only to see that it was already bright outside, and the boat on the lake was quietly moored, but the people who had a night of carnival were still dreaming.

Sanchi leaned over and picked up the adult onto the boat, Su Xue stood on the deck and beckoned to him gently, like a woman waving goodbye to her lover, causing Sanchi and the others to snicker for a while, and said secretly: "It seems that the adult was cool last night." ’

Shen Mo didn't clarify with them, if people knew that he actually sat down with Su Xue all night and talked without touching his hands, wouldn't it be a joke?

After the silent ship left, Su Xue stood on the deck for a while, then walked back to the cabin, and sat in front of the guqin with her head down, for a long time, for a long time...... Suddenly, a teardrop, which happened to fall on the strings, emitted a very slight trill. Then, like beads with broken threads, they began to drip on the piano one after another. Su Xue cried silently, she pressed her chest tightly, but she couldn't suppress the guilt for her younger siblings and the fear of death...... I heard that person say that if you don't let out the love Gu, you will backfire on yourself, bleed through your seven orifices, and die of rotten intestines!

Except for the reason she said to Shen Mo, she didn't do what Lu Ji said because, like everyone in this era, Su Xue believed in the existence of Gu. She didn't want her body to be used for this kind of evil deed, so that she couldn't be reborn in the next life.

When she was alone, Su Xue lost the persistence of 'hearing the Tao, you can die at night' last night, and she also lost the Qinggao of 'don't want to do it to others, don't do it to others', leaving only a poor weak woman, hiding in the cabin and crying. Although she has already made up her mind, the three sisters and brothers will go to the underworld to get together, but when the matter comes, how can she be willing to give up this world of wind and snow, her piano, and her music?

Su Xue cried and cried, and actually fell asleep by the guqin...... The yachts and boats on the lake all drove back to the city, and the Lu family brothers and sisters did not dare to connect with her during the day.

From Su Xue's description, it can almost be concluded that it is the haunting Lu Ji again, he is angry, and for Lu Bing's sake, he has the right to forgive the bastard. Who knew that guy actually regarded his forbearance as fear, and intensified his harm to himself again and again!

There is a way that is repeated again and again, and this is the third time that Lu Ji is preparing to be unfavorable to himself. Shen Mo couldn't bear it anymore, he couldn't bear it anymore, he said to Sanchi with a gloomy face: "The matter of appeasement and annihilation, you can't do it anymore, you have to completely destroy the enemy!" ”

Sanchi put away his usual hippie smile and said in a deep voice: "Please command!" ”

"Mobilize all the informants immediately and find these two children!" Shen Mo ordered: "And that Lu Ji, find all his portraits of all kinds, and report them as soon as there are clues!" ”

"Yes!" The three-foot deep voice should fall.

As the governor of Suzhou City, and the lifeblood of all walks of life, Shen Mo can let go of his hands and feet, install light and dark eyeliner, and control the entire city. In fact, as early as half a year ago, he had already begun to do this, and it was not too difficult to create a force that really monitored Suzhou, and even Jinyiwei's espionage ability in Suzhou, which Zhu Shisan personally admitted.

Now that Shen Mo has completely mastered Suzhou, he is the only boss in this land, how can he allow someone to beat his own ideas again and again?

With his order, the whole city was surging, cars, boats, shops, feet, yamen, beggars, and girls, all stared at their eyes, and in less than half a day, there was news to give back...... News came from Xiaoxiang Lou that many people saw the 'old man' in the portrait and said that he was the uncle of the Su family, and often went in and out of her residence.

There is also news on the dock that the boss of the boat has seen the two children, and just a few days ago, it seems that they were abducted and trafficked to Suzhou City by human traffickers.

There was also news from the inn that he saw the traffickers living in his shop, led by a man in black in a wheelchair...... Useful information emerges one by one, and it is not very difficult to obtain, but if you don't search for it, you will never know. This made Shen Mo feel that it was necessary to train an intelligence leader among his subordinates. The three feet who are now in charge are too jumpy and not suitable for this line of work...... Of course, he still had to make up for it now, and he ordered Sanchi: "Surround it secretly immediately, grab the wheelchair man, and let him hand over the child!" "I think that since the wheelchair man is in a wheelchair, it should be easier to catch.
