Early the next morning, Yuan Fu and Jin Shang went straight to Anhui City, this time, Yuan No did not let Zhang Niu Calf lead fifty elite cavalry to accompany the guard, but only ordered Xu Sheng to accompany one person and one horse.

However, in the Qiao family's mansion in Anhui City, Qiao Xuan was not seen.

After asking the steward of Qiao's house, I learned that Qiao Xuan's family had moved back to Qiaojiawu in the countryside, but I didn't know why.

At this time, it was past noon, and there were nearly 100 miles from Wancheng to Qiaojiawu, so Jin Shang persuaded Yuan to rest for one night in the Wancheng Inn, and then go to Qiaojiawu tomorrow.

But Yuan Nuo didn't want to delay for a moment, and insisted on going on the road.

Jin Shang couldn't resist Yuan No, so he could only agree, and the group of three horsemen rushed for more than two hours, and finally arrived at Qiaojiawu, which was located on the east bank of Peng Lize, at dusk.

Peng Lize is actually Poyang Lake in later generations, but the location will be slightly moved north.

When Yuan Fu and the three of them arrived at Peng Lize, the sun had fallen into the western mountains, but the sunset on the horizon was still like a fire, brilliant and dazzling, coupled with the reflection in the lake, it was even more magnificent, and there were a leaf of fishing boats gently wandering on the lake, and the fishermen who returned late sang unknown mountain songs and ballads, which made people forget to return.

For a while, Yuan Wei forgot the purpose of this trip, and only cared about admiring the lake and mountains in front of him.

It wasn't until Xu Sheng reminded him that Yuan Wei woke up like a dream, and then rode his horse towards Qiaojiawu Fort.

The height of the fort wall of Qiaojiawu Fort is not more than a zhang, and it is built of rammed earth, which is far less steep and strong than Fan's Fort, but Qiaojiawu Fort is larger, obviously, Qiao's Dingkou is much more than the Fan of the nest, in this chaotic era at the end of the Han Dynasty, more Dingkou means stronger strength, so Qiao's strength must be much stronger than Fan's.

When he arrived at the dock fort, Yuan Fu found that Qiaojiawu fort was extremely heavily guarded.

Moreover, the people stationed on the fort wall are actually wearing armor, although it is only the most ordinary leather armor, but it is much stronger than the cloth armor of Fanjiawu Fort.

After receiving the report from the porter, Qiao Xuan personally went out of the door to greet him.

"Yuan will meet Qiao Gong." Seeing Qiao Xuan, Yuan Wei hurriedly bowed to the shrine.

"Childe, hurry up and excuse me." Qiao Xuan returned the salute and stepped forward to pick up Yuan Wei again.

Qiao Xuan greeted Jin Shang again, and then welcomed Yuan Fu and Jin Shang into the main hall.

As for Xu Sheng, he was greeted by Qiao's family and went to the side hall to rest.

After the cold noise, Yuan Wei hugged his fists at Qiao Xuan and said: "Qiao Gong, the younger generation is here to thank you, Qiao Gong is righteous and generously donated 3,000 stone of military food to our army, but it has solved the urgent need of our army, and the younger generation would like to say thank you to Qiao Gong on behalf of the four thousand soldiers." ”

Qiao Xuan returned the salute and said with a smile: "Childe is polite." ”

Jin Shang watched coldly and sighed in his heart.

As an old friend for many years, Jin Shang can naturally see that Qiao Xuan is only polite to Yuan Nuo on the surface, but in fact, he is still not very willing to get close to him.

Yuan Wei also felt Qiao Xuan's alienation, but he was repeatedly frustrated by Liu Ye and Fan Yang, and his psychological tolerance had been greatly strengthened, so he did not show any discoloration on the surface.

Yuan Wei said again: "The younger generation is here, but the second is to ask Qiao Gong for music and rhythm. ”

"Rhythm?" Qiao Xuan was surprised when he heard this, and even Jin Shang was a little stunned.

Before coming, Yuan Wei didn't say that he wanted to ask Qiao Xuan for music and rhythm.

Qiao Xuan's face immediately returned to its original state, and said with a smile: "The old man didn't know that the son was also proficient in music and rhythm, disrespectful, disrespectful." ”

Yuan Wei hurriedly said: "The younger generation is just a rough pronunciation rhythm, and they will never dare to say that they are proficient." ”

In Yuan No's previous life, in addition to reading historical web novels, he also liked guzheng, and he can be said to be a guzheng enthusiast.

It's funny to say, the reason why Yuan Fu learned Guzheng in his previous life was to pick up girls, but in the end, the girls didn't soak it, but they fell madly in love with Guzheng.

Although there are differences between guzheng and guqin, the fingering and music notation are the same.

Yuan Wei just wanted to get close to Qiao Xuan through the gorgeous music scores of the later generations that he knew, befriend Qiao Xuan, and lay the groundwork for the next step to ask Qiao's for help, of course, if he was lucky enough to let Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao hear him play, it would be better, in the previous life, the guzheng failed to help him soak in the girl, and he couldn't in this life?

Yuan didn't dare to say anything, but Qiao Xuan wouldn't take it seriously.

He Qiao Xuan is a master of music in the world, and he dares to ask him for music and rhythm, how can he be a general?

At that moment, Qiao Xuan instructed the housekeeper: "Qiao Fu, quickly take Gongzi and Yuan Xiugong to bathe and cleanse themselves." ”

The literati of the Qin and Han dynasties were very fond of the piano, like Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang were all holy hands in the qin, and Zhou Yu left a famous classic of mismade music and Zhou Langgu.

Moreover, most of the ancients stroked the qin to cultivate sentiment, so there were many exquisitenesses.

Whether it is stroking the piano or listening to music, you have to bathe and clean yourself before the beginning, and sandalwood must be lit in the piano room, which can be described as listening to your ears.

When Yuan Fu and Jin Shang took a bath and cleaned themselves, when they came to the piano room under the guidance of the steward of Qiao's mansion, they unexpectedly saw that in addition to Qiao Xuan in the piano room, Liu Ye was actually there.

Seeing Yuan Fu and Jin Shang coming in, Liu Ye threw himself to the ground and said with a smile: "I heard that Gongzi wants to ask Gong Qiao for music and rhythm, so I came uninvited, and I hope that Gongzi will forgive his sins." ”

Yuan Wei hurriedly returned the salute, and he didn't even dare to say it.

Qiao Xuan also said: "It's really a coincidence to say that, Ziyang arrived a moment earlier than Gongzi, and he also asked the old man for music and rhythm, heh." ”

Liu Ye said again: "I visited a qinsmith a few days ago, and Yang Qi built a guqin, and the timbre is not bad, how about the son use this guqin?" ”

After speaking, Liu Ye dodged to the side, revealing the desk behind him.

There is a lyre on the desk, the lyre is planted with sycamore wood, the shape is simple, and the headstock is also decorated with ornamentation, and it is not ordinary at a glance.

Yuan Ruoruo glanced at Liu Ye meaningfully.

Such a lyre must be expensive, and Liu Ye is also well-intentioned.

"Childe, please." Liu Ye smiled slightly, and made a gesture to Yuan Su.

Qiao Xuan stood beside him, smiling and smiling, looking like he was waiting to appreciate Yuan No's piano skills, and as if he was waiting to see Yuan No's embarrassment in public.

Only Jin Shang is really worried about Yuan.

Before today, Jin Shang had never heard of Yuan Wei being good at music.

If Yuan Wei made a mess in front of Qiao Xuan and Liu Ye, it would be a small matter of personal disgrace, and it would affect the reputation of the Yuan family among the Lujiang clan, but it would be a great loss.

Yuan Fu did not shirk, and happily knelt behind the piano case.

After closing his eyes and brewing for a while, Yuan Wei suddenly opened his eyes again, and then stroked the strings very casually, and a series of flowing notes flowed out of the strings.

Hearing the sound of the flowing piano, Jin Shang's hanging heart fell to the ground.

Qiao Xuan and Liu Ye glanced at each other, and they both saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.

Yuan Wei suddenly buckled the strings, and the flowing sound of the piano stopped abruptly, then raised his head to look at Qiao Xuan and Liu Ye, and said, "Gong Qiao, Mr. Ziyang, forgive Yuan for trespassing." ”

After speaking, Yuan Fu's ten fingers continued to pluck, and the sad sound of the piano flowed out.

The song played by Yuan No is the poppy beauty of Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, a song that has been passed down through the ages, and while playing, Yuan Nor sang softly.

When is the spring flower and autumn moon?

How much do you know about the past!

Xiaolou had an east wind last night,

The old country is unbearable to look back at the moonlight.

The carved fence and jade masonry should still be there,

It's just that Zhu Yan changed.

Ask how much sorrow you can have,

It is like a river flowing eastward.

(Dividing Line)

Yuan Wei, who was already intoxicated, didn't know that the two girls were coming towards the piano room.

The only difference is that the girl in the front is slightly taller and more delicate and lively, while the girl in the red dress who walks behind is more gentle and quiet.

These two girls are Qiao Xuan's daughters.

The girl in the colorful dress in front is Xiao Qiao, and the girl in the red dress in the back is Da Qiao.

Seeing that Da Qiao seemed a little reluctant, Xiao Qiao immediately turned back, shook Da Qiao's arm and said coquettishly: "Sister, you can accompany me to take a look, just go and see." ”

Da Qiao glanced at Xiao Qiao, and said angrily: "I want to go to you, I won't go anyway." ”

Xiao Qiaomei rolled her eyes and whispered: "Sister, I heard that the person who came to ask for marriage this time is not an ordinary Langjun, but Liu Ye, a famous scholar in Lujiang, Liu Ziyang." ”

Da Qiao said angrily: "Whatever about him Liu Ziyang, Wang Ziyang, I won't marry anyway." ”

"Yo, I'm in a hurry." Xiao Qiao tilted his little head, looked at Da Qiao, and quipped, "Sister, you shouldn't really like that Sun Lang, right?" Sister, what about you? You've only met once in total, or is it a glimpse of him when he was hunting through the purple bamboo forest, and you like people? You don't even know if someone is a good family. ”

"You don't have to worry about my business." Da Qiao was touched by his sister, and his beautiful eyes turned red.

"Okay, okay, little sister doesn't care, little sister doesn't care." Xiao Qiao hurriedly comforted, "Sister, if you don't want to marry, Ah Weng and Ah Yu won't force you to come, but it's nothing after all, right?" It's not like you have to marry him if you see it, right? And the little sister heard Fu Bo say that there is also a son of the Yuan family who wants to ask Ah Weng for piano skills. ”

Da Qiao came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Yo, it turns out that you want to see the Yuan family's son?" ”

Xiao Qiao blushed, shook Da Qiao's arm and said coquettishly: "Sister, you can go with me, go with me." ”

"Sister, don't shake it, don't shake it, isn't it okay for Sister to accompany you to see it?" Big Qiao couldn't resist Xiao Qiao, so he could only agree.

At that moment, the sisters passed through the weeping flower gate, and then passed through the Jiuqu corridor to the outside of the piano room in the west chamber, but did not enter through the main entrance, but went around to the back of the piano room and hid behind the screen.
