readx; Early the next morning, Zhou Renyuan returned to his cabin with a body full of wine, fell asleep, and slept until noon. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info he felt a little headache, it seems that he drank too much wine last night.

Mo Zhu came in with hot water, and he didn't look like he was waking up with dark circles under his eyes, "Mo Zhu, where is our ship?" Zhou Renyuan asked while washing.

"Lord, our ship has been leaving Yanzhou Wharf for half a day." Mozhu said with a yawn.

"What, you didn't sleep well last night?" Zhou Renyuan was a little strange.

"Lord, do you think I can sleep well? It's not just me, you go and ask the other people on this boat, who has a good sleep? Mozhu said aggrievedly.

At this time, Wang Fuzhi and Zhu Cihong pushed the door in, Wang Fuzhi smiled and said, "Haha-Mozhu is right, we are all suffering from you, last night you and that lady babbled and sang all night, crying and laughing, who do you say can sleep?" If you don't believe me, you ask His Royal Highness the Prince, did he sleep well last night? Wang Fuzhi pointed at Zhu Cihong.

Zhu Cihong didn't dare to complain, and said loudly, "I slept last night - I slept well." ”

Zhou Renyuan felt embarrassed and hurriedly apologized to everyone, "I'm sorry everyone, I was a little out of shape last night, a little out of shape." ”

Wang Fuzhi was very curious, and asked with ambiguity on his face, "I wonder where the lady Renyuan met last night is sacred?" was able to make you, a songwriter, not return all night and sing with her all night. Nothing happened to you? "Wang Fuzhi has been a family man for a long time, and he doesn't have too many scruples when it comes to men and women.

Zhu Cihong on the side blushed when he heard this, although he was the prince and there were many palace maids in the palace, Chongzhen disciplined him very strictly, and didn't want him to come into contact with men and women too early.

Zhou Renyuan thought to himself, I also wanted something to happen, but Chen Yuanyuan, a big beauty, couldn't think anything wrong about her, so he said with a serious face, "She and I are just confidants in lyrics and songs, very pure, and Brother Nong, don't guess!"

Wang Fuzhi smiled "fluttering", "Renyuan, don't pretend!" Since I didn't know each other, how have you ever talked to a woman like this all night? Tell me, who the hell is she? ”

Zhou Renyuan said helplessly, "In order to satisfy your curiosity, I'll tell you, she is Chen Yuanyuan, the wife of Wu Sangui, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, do you think I can report a different kind of thought to her?" ”

"What? She is Chen Yuanyuan, Wu Sangui's wife?" Wang Fuzhi and Zhu Cihong were shocked when they heard this, "Then it's better for you to stay away from her, don't get into trouble!" Ah! You shouldn't have gone last night, if it reached Wu Sangui's ears, it wouldn't be clear. Wang Fuzhi said worriedly.

"It's okay, I'm not afraid of him Wu Sangui, besides, Chen Yuanyuan and I are innocent." Zhou Renyuan said nonchalantly.

"What Uncle Siwang said is, even if Wu Sangui knows about this, he doesn't dare to do anything to you, after all, you are still the prince of the Ming Dynasty, even if Uncle Siwang falls in love with Chen Yuanyuan, it is a matter of one sentence. But I believe that Uncle Siwang will not abolish the public for personal reasons. There were words in Zhu Cihong's words, which not only gave Zhou Renyuan face, but also secretly reminded him not to anger Wu Sangui because of a Chen Yuanyuan.

Zhou Renyuan understood when he heard it, and said with a wry smile, "Why do you all regard me as a lustful person, I appreciate Chen Yuanyuan, understand?" Admire! Listening to your tone, it seems like I'm going to rob Chen Yuanyuan with Wu Sangui, am I that kind of person? ”

"Yes, yes, Uncle Siwang is a person who does great things, of course he will not entangle these children's private affairs." Zhu Cihong nodded hurriedly.

Wang Fuzhi is skeptical, with his understanding of Zhou Renyuan, Zhou Renyuan is a person with considerable self-control ability, and his inner emotions are never easily expressed to others. But he knew that Zhou Renyuan was actually a person with delicate and rich emotions, cold on the outside and hot on the inside. In his own eyes, the only outburst of Zhou Renyuan's emotions was to vomit blood and faint when he heard the news of Wang Wanting's death in Hengzhou, so this all-night chat and singing with Chen Yuanyuan is actually a true expression of his inner feelings, even if Zhou Renyuan really appreciates Chen Yuanyuan, it is also a very dangerous thing. Because there is only a thin line between appreciation and admiration, who knows when Zhou Renyuan will accidentally cross this line? Or maybe Chen Yuanyuan himself will cross this line.

Thinking of this, Wang Fuzhi sighed under his heart, "Brother Renyuan, you still don't sing in the future, you have to sing again in the future, I'm afraid you don't have peach blossom luck but peach blossom luck!" ”

Wang Fuzhi's worries were not unreasonable, just after Zhou Renyuan left Chen Yuanyuan's official ship in the early morning, Chen Yuanyuan asked someone to clean up the leftovers that he had eaten with Zhou Renyuan last night, and lay on the bed in a daze, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

Thinking that Zhou Renyuan's "Red Bean Words" last night was so lingering and compassionate, his tearful expression was so affectionate, so sad, this heroic prince must have a pain in his heart that ordinary people can't understand. This prince is not very old, how can there be so much pain in his heart? And he respects her very much.,I didn't care about the difference in rank and status at all.,I didn't look down on myself as a courtesan.。

Later, she sang "The Story of the West Chamber" with herself, Chen Yuanyuan felt that she was singing as if she was Cui Yingying and Zhou Renyuan was Zhang Sheng. Is this a dream? But he woke up too early from this dream, and when he left early in the morning, he felt a faint loss in his heart! Chen Yuanyuan's face was hot for a while, what's wrong with me? I'm Wu Sangui's concubine now, how can I have such a ridiculous idea?

Seeing that she couldn't sleep, she simply got up and pushed open the window of the cabin, and the cold wind blew in in the winter morning, Chen Yuanyuan was a little more awake, and there was no sleep.

Her maid Aju walked in with a bowl of hot porridge, and when she saw Chen Yuanyuan sitting there with the window open, she hurriedly closed the window and complained, "Miss, why did you open the window, the wind is going to blow out of the illness this winter." "Ah Ju is the girl ring she has been with her since she became famous in Kunshan, Suzhou, and it has been three years now, although it is a girl ring, but the two are like sisters and have a good relationship.

Chen Yuanyuan smiled bitterly, "I can't sleep, open the window to breathe!" ”

"That's not good, you and that son sang and quarreled last night, you didn't sleep all night, your body can't bear it, why don't I make some hot porridge, you drink it quickly!" Ah Ju also didn't sleep well all night, and she was a little dissatisfied.

Chen Yuanyuan laughed and scolded when he heard it, "You dead girl, why are we making trouble?" Isn't it just singing? ”

"Then you cry for a while and laugh for a while, isn't it a fuss?" Aju asked.

"We cried and laughed?" Chen Yuanyuan also broke the piece, "I can't remember clearly." ”

"The boy cried for a while, 'My heart hurts, Wanting!' After a while, he shouted, 'Where are you?' Menglan: 'Miss, you also cried and said, 'I'm so bitter too!' Ah Ju learned the tone of the two of them, "I really don't know what the two of you are hurting and suffering, but this son is really amorous, young lady, you have to be careful." ”

"Wow, what am I wary of? You girl, talk nonsense! Chen Yuanyuan's face turned crimson.

"Alas, the general has been in Shanhaiguan all the year round and does not go home, and it is really not right to leave the young lady alone in the empty compound of the capital! This time, let's go back to Kunshan to visit relatives, Miss wants to come out to relax, but the guards on this ship will not be so reliable, so it's better to be careful in everything! Ah Ju reminded.

Chen Yuanyuan was upset by what she said, "Okay, don't be long-winded, I have my own measure." ”

Ah Ju walked out of the cabin, shook her head, sighed, and sighed---

For several nights in a row, Chen Yuanyuan's ship and Zhou Renyuan's two official ships had been docked at the same pier, but Chen Yuanyuan never invited Zhou Renyuan to the cabin to drink and sing songs, and Zhou Renyuan did not invite Chen Yuanyuan to come over to meet him.

At night, Chen Yuanyuan did not sing alone anymore, and the dock at night became much quieter.

The servants and officers of the three ships were very strange, why did the two of them sing happily at the Yanzhou wharf, but why did they not move later? Although they didn't sleep well all night in Yanzhou, the two sang really well, and they both missed the song of that night in Yanzhou.

In Zhou Renyuan's cabin, Wang Fuzhi and Zhu Cihong were playing Go, and Zhou Renyuan was watching "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" when he had nothing to do.

In fact, he had read it seven or eight times in later generations, so he should pass the time when he was bored.

While playing chess, Wang Fuzi looked up at Zhou Renyuan, "Renyuan, if you are bored, why don't you go to Chen's place for a drink?" ”

"Don't go, don't go, the province is gossiped." Zhou Renyuan hurriedly shook his head, "It's better to read, it's better to read!" ”

"Poof" Wang Fuzhi couldn't hold back his laughter, "This book is good, I didn't expect our Royal Highness the Lord to read the book upside down." ”

"Huh?" Zhu Cihong turned his head curiously and looked at the book in Zhou Renyuan's hand, "Haha--ha-" The tears of laughter came down.

Zhou Renyuan looked down again, his face was flushed, and the books were reversed!

Mo Zhu pushed open the hatch and came in, looked at Zhou Renyuan, and said mysteriously, "Lord Wang, that--that Chen Yuanyuan girl came to visit." She's so beautiful! ”

"Huh? The round girl is here? Zhou Renyuan hurriedly got up and put the book down, "Quick, invite her in." ”

As soon as Chen Yuanyuan and Ah Ju entered the cabin door, they saw that in addition to Zhou Renyuan, there were two other people in the room, both of whom were very young, and the young man was wearing a "dragon robe" embroidered with a golden dragon, which was more noble than Zhou Renyuan, the king of the county.

She stood there a little overwhelmed and didn't know what to do.

Wang Fuzhi and Zhu Cihong felt inconvenient here, and hurriedly bent down to Zhou Renyuan and saluted, "Farewell!" And he withdrew from the door.

As soon as they got out of the cabin door, Wang Fuzhi asked Zhu Cihong in a low voice, "What does the prince think of this Chen Yuanyuan's appearance compared to all the ladies in the emperor's harem?" ”

Zhu Cihong groaned, "This girl is really a country and a city, fortunately, her father refused her to enter the palace back then, if she really enters the palace, it is really 'three thousand pink delicatures without color'!" I'm worried about Uncle Siwang--"

The two suddenly felt related and worried about Zhou Renyuan.

Zhou Renyuan didn't know in the cabin that Wang Fuzhi and Zhu Cihong were worried about whether he would be able to sit still.

He and Chen Yuanyuan greeted each other and were sitting on a chair drinking tea. After not seeing him for a few days, Chen Yuanyuan's face has decreased a lot, his expression is melancholy, and he seems to have a lot on his mind.

Chen Yuanyuan saw that Zhou Renyuan had been watching her, his face flushed slightly, and he said softly, "Lord Wang, the slave family came to say goodbye to the Lord this time. ”

"What? Farewell? Zhou Renyuan felt a little lost in his heart.

Chen Yuanyuan saw that Zhou Renyuan was a little reluctant, and he was overjoyed, but then calmed down again. "The slave family is going to Kunshan to visit relatives, and they will turn to Kunshan when they arrive in Suzhou tomorrow."

"Oh, oh, I see!" Zhou Renyuan was stunned.

"This is a farewell, the slave family and the prince are afraid that they will never see each other again, so I specially ask the prince to leave an honorific title on this word as a commemoration." As he spoke, he pulled out a roll of paper.

Zhou Renyuan spread it out and saw that on the white paper was the lyrics of "Red Bean Words" written by a slender Xiaokai, and there were still a little tears on it.

Zhou Renyuan gritted his teeth, took out a quill pen to dip the ink, and wrote "Give my sister Yuanyuan to Brother Renyuan on the bank of the Yanzhou River" in the blank space on the side, handed it to Chen Yuanyuan, and said, "Renyuan is my word." ”

Chen Yuanyuan looked at the flowers and lost color, his expression was in a trance, and he muttered, "The prince wants to become a brother and sister with the slave family?" ”

"Exactly." Zhou Renyuan said with a smile, "Yuanyuan girl, I won't tell you, you and I hit it off at first sight, I appreciate the girl's talent very much, and I am willing to marry the girl Jinlan, I don't know if you have ever been willing to girl?" ”

"I--I--" Chen Yuanyuan was entangled in his heart, not knowing whether he was happy or worried, and Zhou Renyuan became brother and sister, which means that from now on, the two will only have brother and sister love, and nothing else.

In fact, she also understands that her current identity is a wife, and she can't have any other thoughts about Zhou Renyuan, brother and sister are brother and sister, maybe they can see him in the future, and there will be a lot less gossip about each other.

So she saluted and said, "The prince does not dislike the slave family, the slave family is willing to be a brother and sister with the prince, and meet the eldest brother in a round circle!" ”

"Good! Good! Sister, please, I will have one more sister from now on, haha-" Zhou Renyuan was very happy, "When I return to the capital in the future, I will visit my sister at home." ”

Chen Yuanyuan got up and said goodbye, "Yuanyuan's wish has come true, I hope that the eldest brother will take care all the way!" Yuanyuan said goodbye! ”

Zhou Renyuan sent Chen Yuanyuan out of the cabin, stood on the deck and watched Chen Yuanyuan's departing back, and then Wang Fuzhi said, "Alas--I hate to meet when I am not married!" ”

Zhou Renyuan glanced at him, "I have become brother and sister with Miss Yuanyuan!" ”

"What? Lord Wang, it's shocking that you do this, how can you be with her with such a noble status--" Wang Fuzhi was very puzzled, he still had some traditional concepts of scholars.

"You said that she was born as a courtesan, and she climbed me as a prince? And Brother Nong, you are still a little conservative in your thinking. Zhou Renyuan criticized Wang Fuzhi, "How do you say that this person is born with a hierarchy?" If I hadn't been in the royal family, if I were just an ordinary person, would you and I still be friends?

"This ---" Wang Fuzhi was a little embarrassed.

"There is a woman who was born willing to be a courtesan, either poor, or her family was guilty, and she entered this industry in desperation, she was forced by real life, and she was a poor person!" Zhou Renyuan said quietly.

"The husband is ashamed, I didn't expect Renyuan to be so bodhisattva-hearted, and the husband has been taught!" Wang Fuzhi admired and admired.

"The Bodhisattva's heart is a bit exaggerated, I just hope that the world will be peaceful, less poor, less unfair!" Zhou Renyuan was a little distracted and returned to the cabin. He was a little disappointed in Wang Fuzhi, even if he was a big thinker who was ahead of his time, he couldn't get out of the trap of the concept of hierarchy!
