September is coming to an end, the irritable cicadas are finally silent, the osmanthus is fragrant, and the autumn breeze is pleasant.

Zhou Binjie's words that day also made Xu Mingyuan feel that he should go to Su Yimeng before going to Chang'an, not that he was forgetful, but after that day, he didn't know how to get along with Su Yimeng. She is also a poor person, but Xu Mingyuan is not capable of helping her, so she wants to avoid him in her heart.

However, since this matter should have been decided that day, after all, it is still necessary to say goodbye, and it has become a matter of concern for others. Xu Mingyuan felt that he was still poor and did not want to owe too much debt, especially the debt of favors.

Xu Mingyuan said hello to Zhou Binjie before, and only entered Shuzhou City in the evening, and Zhou Binjie and Zhao Qingliang and Feng Rui who happened to be on the rest day of the academy had dinner and drank wine in a restaurant, and then went to forget worries.

Zhao Qingliang and Feng Rui couldn't resist Zhou Binjie's kind invitation, and they both blushed and entered the Forget Worry Building. Seeing that the two of them were the chicks who entered the Qinglou for the first time, they raised their heads and wanted to show their bones, but their eyes couldn't help but turn around, looking at the scenes and beauties they had never seen in their lives.

Zhou Binjie knew that Xu Mingyuan's intention today was to let Na Ling'er take Xu Mingyuan away, and he hugged Zhao Qingliang and Feng Rui with a smile on his face and said that he wanted to take the two of them to have a long experience.

After that day, Xu Mingyuan had never come to forget worries, so the Ling'er girl who was walking beside Xu Mingyuan with a delicate palace lamp looked at Xu Mingyuan with a resentful expression and said: "Master Xu, you haven't come to forget worries for a long time, Sister Yimeng looks at the door every day, and she wants to wear it, I'm afraid that she will turn into a wangfu stone." ”

Xu Mingyuan has a good impression of this ghostly little girl, although she grew up in a green building like Forget Worries, she has not lost her innocence and true temperament, which can be seen from her concern for Su Yimeng that day. So he also looked at her with a smile and said, "Then did you miss me?" ”

"Of course there is!" Miss Ling'er blurted out, stuck out her tongue a little shyly, and said with a smile: "I heard that the sisters who forget the worries want to meet you, the strange man who makes Sister Yimeng unforgettable, if I knew that you were here today, then the plum garden would be lively." ”

Xu Mingyuan was slightly stunned, and said with a dumb smile: "Then maybe I can see a lot of beautiful women today." ”

"You men are all the same, eating from the bowl and thinking about the pot." Ling'er sighed, but she wasn't really angry, her old-fashioned appearance made Xu Mingyuan smile and shake his head.

The two walked forward along the winding path, because of Zhou Jingfan's resolute handling in the past few days, he killed a few unruly Jianghu people mercilessly, and he showed his strength not weaker than the middle Jianghu sect, as well as the backers behind whom no one dared to shake, and finally let those Jianghu people who didn't know what the rules were to understand the word rules.

Since that day, most of the people in the rivers and lakes who have entered Fengming Street have decreased, and the rest have obediently abided by the rules even if they have entered the Qinglou, and they dare not exceed the rules by half a step.

There are less rough people in the rivers and lakes, forgetting worries and building suddenly a lot quieter, the sound of silk and bamboo came from the high platform, and the girl's warbler voice swallow language, it is indeed a good place for men to forget their sorrows.

According to Ling'er, after Xu Mingyuan rescued Su Yimeng that day, Zhou Jingfan let people vacate a small courtyard for Su Yimeng, and also sent two maids to her.

This is the treatment that only the Oiran in charge of the house has in Forget Worry, and Su Yimeng's fame and qualifications are far from qualified. However, when everyone heard about the relationship between Xu Mingyuan and Zhou Binjie, as well as the fact that he won the first place in the hospital examination and the township examination, naturally thoughtful and meticulous people guessed the reason.

Su Yimeng's small courtyard is called Plum Garden, which is a small courtyard facing Beixin Lake, with two exquisite palace lamps hanging in front of the door, some distance from those high-rise small buildings, which is particularly quiet.

When Ling'er arrived at the front of the courtyard, she lightly knocked on the courtyard door twice, and said with a smile inside: "Sister Yimeng, look at who is here today." ”

Just after a while, the door creaked open, and there was a graceful figure, her beautiful face was even more delicate under the light of the warm red lantern, and her eyes were full of expectation, it was Su Yimeng's daughter.

There were two maids beside her, thinking that they were going to open the door, but it should be that Su Yimeng was too anxious, but there was nothing wrong with the two of them, and at this time, they also looked at Xu Mingyuan with curiosity. can make Su Yimeng, who has always been indifferent to the world on weekdays, lose his temper like this, most likely it is the Xu Gongzi who can lift the pen to win the top spot and save the beauty with a sword.

Su Yimeng also realized that he was a little out of shape, his face became more and more embarrassed, and he glared at Ling'er and the two little maids who were eating and laughing on the side with disgust, and said to Xu Mingyuan slightly: "Yimeng didn't expect Xu Gongzi to come today, and he couldn't greet him early, which was rude." ”

Today's Su Yimeng is wearing a lilac gauze skirt, a dark red cloak on the outside, her long hair is pulled up, and a white hosta is inserted obliquely.

Xu Mingyuan looked at Su Yimeng, smiled and arched his hand: "Miss Su doesn't need to be polite, she suddenly came to the door today, it was abrupt, is it the girl's fault." I remembered in my heart that the girl still had a song to listen to, but I was reluctant to go to Chang'an. ”

"Xu Gongzi, please come in." Su Yimeng spread his hands, his face calmed down a little, let out of the way, and let Xu Mingyuan enter the door, the blush on his face had not receded for a while, but fortunately, the light of the lantern was red.

Xu Mingyuan entered the door with a smile, and walked towards the small courtyard with Su Yimeng, and Ling'er should still have to pick up guests, so he also said goodbye, and specially told Xu Mingyuan to write a few words to him, not too much, just write her name, and then leave Xu Mingyuan's name.

There is only a crescent moon left in the sky, but there are a few white palace lamps lit in the plum garden, and it is not dim. The yard is not big, the ground is paved with a bluestone slab half a foot long and wide, a white stone table is placed in the yard, and a few plum trees are planted, the leaves have begun to turn yellow, and the leaves on the ground are very clean.

"Xu Gongzi, is it better to enter the house or in this yard?" Su Yimeng looked at Xu Mingyuan with a smile and asked.

"Although there is no bright moon in the sky to appreciate, it must be a pleasant thing to blow the autumn breeze in this courtyard and listen to the tunes played by Miss Su. It's a pity that this plum blossom has not yet reached the season of opening, but fortunately, the flower has not bloomed, and there is a beautiful woman racing flowers beside you. Xu Mingyuan looked at Su Yimeng and said with a smile.

"Then according to Childe's words." Su Yimeng listened to Xu Mingyuan's words, and a blush rose on her pretty face that had just faded some ruddy, and she turned sideways and whispered to the two maids: "Cui'er, Xiang'er, you go and help me bring the qin, and then take the jar of wine I put last time." ”

The two little maids glanced at each other, and then looked at Xu Mingyuan, with a smile in their eyes, and responded playfully, walking quickly towards the small building.

Xu Mingyuan and Su Yimeng sat down opposite each other, Su Yimeng poured Xu Mingyuan a cup of herbal tea, and the two of them were speechless for a while, and they didn't know where to start.

In the end, Xu Mingyuan broke the silence, gently rubbed the purple sand teacup with one hand, looked at Su Yimeng and muttered for a while before saying: "I heard Miss Su's accent should not be from Jiannan Dao, but like a northern accent, how did you get here?" ”

Su Yimeng heard this, her eyes drooped slightly, her face was a little gloomy, she was silent for a while, and just as she wanted to speak, the two maids were already one holding the guqin, and the other was carrying a food box and walked out of the door, so she didn't continue.

Cui'er carefully placed the guqin in front of Su Yimeng, and Na Xiang'er put out the wine jug in the food box and a few delicate side dishes for wine, and poured a glass of wine for Xu Mingyuan with a smile.

"What tune does Xu Gongzi want to listen to today?" Su Yimeng's slender and white fingers pressed against the qin, looked at Xu Mingyuan and asked, the gloomy look on her face had disappeared, obviously not wanting others to see her weakness.

Xu Mingyuan didn't ask, and said with a smile: "Miss Su is fine, listening to the girl's song that day, it is like hearing the sound of heaven, and I am fortunate to be able to listen to another song today, I think it is enough to make Baimolou envious." ”

Hearing this, Su Yimeng smiled slightly, his fingers lightly touched the strings, and the sound of the piano sounded like spring water, which was pleasant to the ear.

Xu Mingyuan put the teacup in his hand lightly on the stone table, closed his eyes and listened to the refreshing sound of the piano, the autumn breeze was blowing, and the fragrance of osmanthus came from nowhere, which was intoxicating.

This kind of piano sound, although it is a little less imposing than the violinist on Mt. Rice Cang that day, but it is full of charm, and the skill is better than that of the man. If you hadn't practiced the piano since childhood, you wouldn't have been able to play such a moving sound.

After a while, Xu Mingyuan opened his eyes, couldn't help clapping his palms, and said with emotion: "Miss Su's piano skills can be ranked second in her life." ”

"Sister Yimeng's piano skills can only be ranked second, dare to ask who is Xu Gongzi in the first place?" Cui'er on the side heard this, and asked with some doubts, obviously complaining about Su Yimeng.

Su Yimeng didn't stop her, but also looked at Xu Mingyuan with interest, and seemed to want to know who Xu Mingyuan said was higher than her piano skills.

Hearing Cui'er's question, Xu Mingyuan also scratched his head a little embarrassed and said: "I want to say it, the three girls are not allowed to laugh, if I say that the piano skills I have seen in my life rank first, it should be the blind Uncle Wang in the east of the city." The sound of his piano seems to have the power of a ghost, as if it can make you see the scene in the sound of the piano, I have never heard it in all these years. Of course, Miss Su's piano sound is also intoxicating, and it can be called the best grade. ”

Cui'er was still a little unconvinced, Su Yimeng had already spoken: "I didn't expect that there are such masters in Shuzhou City, if there is a chance, Yimeng will definitely meet him." Seeing that her expression didn't seem to be fake, she was faintly a little excited.
