Early in the morning, the county commander Ye Maocai got up early to greet Yang Xiaoyu.

Yang Xiaoyu was lazy to take care of him, but this person was also somewhat useful, so he smiled, comforted Ye Maocai a few words, and promised that when he had the opportunity in the future, he would definitely promote Ye Maocai.

Of course, what he said was very vague, but Ye Mao was a good person, and he knew what he meant when he turned his brain.

In order to please Yang Xiaoyu, Ye Maocai can be said to have worked hard, invited top chefs to cook Jiangnan dishes for Yang Xiaoyu, and sent more than a dozen maids to serve Yang Xiaoyu, and even pushed his daughter Ye Qingning to Yang Xiaoyu's room and asked her daughter to stroke the piano for Yang Xiaoyu.

Yang Xiaoyu smiled bitterly, the seven-grade small county order, out of Wujiang City is nothing, however, in this small county of Wujiang, Ye Maocong is the real emperor of the soil, from the literati to the common people of Limin, all of them saluted him and sang praises to him.

After a wry smile.

Yang Xiaoyu accepted all the 'gifts' sent by Ye Maocai.

Of course, Ye Maocai's daughter Ye Qingning didn't accept it, Yang Xiaoyu didn't want to get another woman to go home, so he only let Ye Qingning stay in the room to play the piano and sing, he sat on the chair and closed his eyes and listened, and did not do anything irrational.

After breakfast, Yang Xiaoyu estimated that it would take three days at the latest for the Jinyi Wei Thousand Households from all over the country to arrive in Suzhou.

During this time, he first lived in Wujiang County, closed the city gates, did not let anyone out of the city, and did not let anyone enter the city.

As a result, it is difficult for some people with ill intentions to get the news of Xu Hongru's arrest.

At noon.

Yang Xiaoyu, accompanied by Ye Maocai, came to the back garden of Yefu to enjoy the scenery in the garden.

He was really bored, so he listened to Ye Maocai's words and came to appreciate the flowers and plants, otherwise, how could he be in the mood to enjoy the garden.

Yefu covers an area of nearly three acres. The back garden is built very magnificently, rockery bridge, flowers, small ponds, the fragrance of flowers permeates the surroundings, and the fish in the pond swim around in the clear blue water. Butterflies land in pairs on the edge of the pond and play.

When Yang Xiaoyu was relaxed, a breeze rose and fell in his ears, and there were wisps of piano sound not far away, melodious, like the sound of a song, like spring. The wind blows through the fields and pastures, and people unconsciously close their eyes and listen.

The sound of the piano slowly became high, as beautiful as the flowing water of the mountains, like the spring water of a mountain stream. It flowed in a tumultuous manner, stirring up ripples.

The sound of the piano crossed into Yang Xiaoyu's heart, he unconsciously stopped, and listened to the beautiful sound of the piano like a fairy sound, the melodious sound of the piano was as slow as a flowing spring, as urgent as a waterfall, crisp as a pearl, reminding him of the hidden past.

After a long time.

The sound of the piano is melodious and high. Fade away like a spring breeze.

The expression on Yang Xiaoyu's face changed several times, and finally showed a smile. asked, "Lord Ye, who is playing the qin?" ”

"Back to my lord, it is the younger brother-in-law of the lower official who caress the qin, she is proficient in music and rhythm, and her talent is extraordinary, do you want to see it?" Ye Maocai asked flatteringly.

I heard that it was Ye Maocai's brother-in-law. Yang Xiaoyu suddenly lost interest, shook his head and praised: "It's gone, her piano sound attainments are better than the world's famous pianos, and this official is fortunate to listen to such a fairy qin in the Zun Mansion, which is really a blessing from the gathering of three lives!" ”

Ye Mao heard Yang Xiaoyu's words. thinks that Yang Xiaoyu is avoiding suspicion!

Now that there is such an opportunity to please Yang Xiaoyu, Ye Maocai hurriedly sneered and said: "My lord, the younger brother and daughter-in-law of Xia Guan are a talented woman in Suzhou Mansion, and her literary attainments are better than Qinyin. ”

A touch of ridicule welled up on Yang Xiaoyu's face, but it disappeared in an instant, and he turned his back to Ye Maocai and asked with a smile: "I don't know who Lord Ye's brother-in-law is?" ”

"She is the wife of Ye Shaoyuan, a cousin of Xiaguan, and she is the concubine of the Songling Shen family, named Shen Yixiu!" Ye Maocai replied with a smile.

Shen Yixiu?

It's her!

Yang Xiaoyu's calm heart suddenly made a wave, Shen Yixiu was a famous talented and beautiful woman in the Ming Dynasty, and her poems were widely circulated in later generations, but I didn't expect to hear her piano sound in a small county town.

Yang Xiaoyu has Shen Yixiu's memories in her mind, half of which are from her daughter Ye Xiaoluan.

After thinking for a moment, Yang Xiaoyu chuckled and said, "Lord Ye, I'm sorry for you to bring Mrs. Shen over, this official wants to listen to Mrs. Shen's piano sound again." ”

"Wait a minute, sir, the next official will go!"

Ye Mao smiled and bowed, turned around and strode away.

It was inconvenient for the ladies of the Ming Dynasty to meet the guests, however, the atmosphere in the south of the Yangtze River was open, and all talented women often talked about poetry and writing with the literati. groaning, and they do not shy away from each other.

Ye Maocai didn't think much about it, he just wanted his brother-in-law to come over and play a song for Yang Xiaoyu, so that Yang Xiaoyu could listen to it comfortably.

Yang Xiaoyu walked back to the courtyard with a leisurely stroll, and let the maid warm the wine, he wanted to see how talented the talented woman who could be passed on to future generations was?

After a while.

Ye Maocai walked in first, saluted Yang Xiaoyu on the main seat, and stood to the side and waited with a smile on his face.

Yang Xiaoyu raised his head and looked at the door of the hall with a smile on his face.

After a while, a twenty-six or seventeen-year-old woman walked in gently, she was wearing a light green cigarette shirt, her face was delicate, her skin was brighter than snow, her legs were slender, her face was slightly powdered, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were full of boundless spring. Meaning, a pair of watery eyes seem to be able to drip water, as if smiling but not smiling.

"The concubine has seen an adult!"

Shen Yixiu walked in slowly, leaned over slightly, and bowed, his voice as crisp and bright as a yellow warbler.

Yang Xiaoyu looked at the beautiful woman standing below, nodded inadvertently, and deserved to be a famous talent. A woman with both colors, just rushing to this posture, is also the number one beauty in the world, but I don't know if her beauty can stand up to the title of a talented woman?

Yang Xiaoyu stood up and smiled slightly, and said, "Madam, please take a seat!" ”

Shen Yixiu leaned over slightly, and then Lianbu moved lightly to the chair on the right side and sat down gently.

Yang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "When the official was enjoying the scenery in the back garden, he suddenly heard the beautiful sound of the piano of his wife, and he was immersed in it for a while, and he couldn't extricate himself. ”

Shen Yixiu nodded lightly to indicate that she understood, in fact, when the county order invited her to come over, she had already talked about the matter, and asked her to play a song to the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard, and meet her friends with the text.

Shen Yixiu thought that this was his cousin's mansion, and he didn't dare to be disrespectful to him, so he half-pushed and half-agreed to the matter.

At this time, Ye Mao, who was next to him, felt that it was a little redundant for him to stay here, so he immediately bowed to Yang Xiaoyu, said goodbye, and waved away the maid serving in the hall.

When there were only two people left in the hall, Shen Yixiu raised his hairpin, his delicate face became solemn, he got up and saluted Yang Xiaoyu, Lianbu stepped lightly on the piano platform in the offset position, sat down gently, pressed his onion-like fingers on the strings and plucked gently, tried the sound of the piano, Shen Yixiu sat down satisfied, and gently put his hands on the xylophone.

Yang Xiaoyu closed his eyes slightly and listened intently to Shen Yixiu's piano sound.

The sound of the piano sounded slowly, clear and tactful, as if hovering in the sky, the sky was one color, and the sky was slightly blank.

Suddenly, the sound of the piano changed, the wind was bleak, several loud sounds, the sycamore leaves fell, the autumn color was just even, remembering the forest, the dream was not realized, tossing and turning tears, tossing and turning.

The sad sound of the piano changes again, melodious and peaceful, as if it can calm people's hearts, harmonious and quiet, and the artistic conception is vast and tranquil and full of interest.

Yang Xiaoyu closed his eyes from beginning to end, his face was calm, without the slightest wave, and he quietly listened to the gentle and quiet piano sound.

Shen Yi Xiuchun. The watery eyes closed slightly, the slender and white fingers were unpredictable, and the piano skills between the ten fingers were quite skillful, and the strings emitted different tones under her fingers, forming a beautiful picture.

The end of the song.

Shen Yixiu stopped, his full chest jumped slightly, his face flushed, and he let out a long sigh of relief.

Yang Xiaoyu opened his eyes, only to feel that the beautiful sound of the piano seemed to be still in his ears, and the strings were endless.

After a short while, Yang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Madame's piano sound is a unique in the world, and the official listens to it, and it is difficult to extricate himself!" ”

"Your Excellency is polite, the concubine's piano skills are average, and she can't afford to be so praised by adults!" Shen Yixiu stood up and bowed lightly, and chuckled gracefully.

Yang Xiaoyu nodded, with a touch of appreciation in his eyes, and then smiled: "Madam, if the official's guess is correct, the song just now should be a flat sand and a wild goose." ”

"Your Excellency knows about this song?" Shen Yixiu's eyes were a little surprised, and he seemed to be a little incredulous.

Yang Xiaoyu listened to Liu Zihua play the song of Pingsha and Falling Geese, this song popped out of Liu Zihua's hand, there was less sadness, more calm, but Shen Yixiu was the opposite, popping this song from her hand, there was more sorrow, less calm, which made people's new hearts fluctuate.

"Don't hide it from Mrs., this official concubine's room is just going to know this song!" Yang Xiaoyu replied with a smile.

Shen Yixiu's eyes suddenly dawned on him, and he asked with a smile: "Madame is talented, the concubine is extremely embarrassed, I don't know who Madame is?" If there is an opportunity in the future, the concubine must listen to the lady's fairy sound. ”

"Madame should have heard her name, her name is Liu Zihua!" Yang Xiaoyu didn't have the slightest pretentiousness on his face, and replied casually.

As soon as these words came out, Shen Xiuyi immediately understood that it was Liu Zihua, no wonder it would be a song of flat sand and wild geese.

Shen Yixiu was far away in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, and he had also heard of Liu Zihua's name, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be her, what a blessing for adults!" ”

Yang Xiaoyu smiled, waved his hand and said: "The lady is both talented and beautiful, and the official has infinite admiration, so I have prepared a table of thin wine, please taste it!" As soon as the words fell, he immediately commanded the maid outside.

In a short time, the maidservant came up with the prepared meal.

Because Shen Yixiu is someone else's wife, he can't sit at the same table with a strange man.

Therefore, the meal was divided into two tables, one table in front of Shen Yixiu and one table in front of Yang Xiaoyu.

Yang Xiaoyu ordered the maid to pour Shen Yixiu wine, took a sip, and said with a smile: "The official suddenly remembered that the Shen family in Songling is of the same clan as the insider, and the lady is still a relative of Yang. ”

"Who's your wife?" Shen Yixiu asked with some confusion.

"Yang's wife is a woman from the Shen family in Yangzhou, named Shen Mengxin, and her wife should be sisters!" Yang Xiaoyu cheekily climbed to his relatives. (To be continued......)
