The melodic and gentle melody sounded melodiously under Zhu Daolin's fingertips, and the soft music instantly drifted to every corner of the shipbuilding, soothing and slightly subtle, tactful and subtle in the moving melody, as clear and leisurely as the flowing water of Qinhuai, but it was so reverie and refreshing.

As the melody slowly accelerated, Zhu Daolin's eyes quietly showed a faint sadness, the strength and rhythm of the left fingertips couldn't help but increase slightly, and the smart fingertips of the right hand were still very small, as always, sticking to Zhu Daolin's simple and unpretentious style.

The tactful and continuous melody then changes, the song is sonorous and powerful, the timbre is full and heavy, like a lotus flower with buds waiting to break through the silt, standing proudly in the wind, heroic posture, it is difficult to hide the poignancy and melancholy in the tenacity, and the nose is full of sour and mixed feelings.

Xu Fu, who is proficient in music and rhythm, has never seen such a wonderful piano technique, has never heard such a moving and beautiful rhyme, and can no longer hide the emotion on his face under the excitement, and a pair of beautiful eyes are like demons staring at the smart fingers on the strings freely.

The amplitude and frequency of Zhu Daolin's finger plucking are still clearly visible, but the ups and downs of the piano sound are like a sudden stop of wind and rain and the wind blowing, and the heaven and earth have once again regained the vitality of the rain and sunny weather, and the sound of the piano has gradually become clear and soothing, graceful and continuous.

Until Zhu Daolin stopped playing and slowly withdrew his hands, the swirling sound of the piano gradually faded away, and everyone was still indulged in the unforgettable and faint artistic conception.

Zhu Daolin glanced at Ying Changpei, who quietly gave him a thumbs up, and then looked at Yuhu and others and a group of maidservants who were gathered at the door of the shipbuilding at some point, and finally turned to Liu Ruyi, who was kneeling beside him with faint tears, nodded slightly and asked in a low voice, "Do you like it?" ”

Liu Ru nodded vigorously, turned sideways and quickly wiped away the crystal tears that overflowed the corners of his eyes, and asked in a grateful whisper, "Can you teach this song to the slave family?" ”

Zhu Daolin nodded with a smile: "Since it is played for you, it naturally belongs to you, but I can't understand the popular music scores of the Ming Dynasty, so I don't know how to teach you, don't worry!" Let me think of another way and see ......"

"Brother Xian, Miss Liu is so smart and clever, and there are Xu family who are proficient in music rhyme and her disciples with extraordinary skills, even if there is no music score, Brother Xian can play it twice more." Zhao Xunting, who has been silent, loudly solved problems for Zhu Daolin.

Everyone applauded in unison, and Xu Fu, who had beautiful eyes, asked with a smile: "Can the Taoist chief show me, where does this song come from?" ”

Zhu Daolin happily took a glass of consolation wine from Ying Changpei, drank half a cup and talked eloquently: "This piece originates from the ancient tune of Zhongzhou, and after continuous exploration and enrichment by musicians, there is the final version of the game just played...... I once had the pleasure of listening to an old musician play with a traditional sixteen-string silk zheng, the tone is simple and elegant, unique, and has a strong charm of Zhongzhou ancient tunes. ”

"What's the name of the song? Can the Taoist Patriarch give advice? Xu Fu asked again excitedly.

Zhu Daolin looked at Liu Ru is who was looking forward to him with deep meaning: "This song is called "Water Lotus". ”

And so it was! No wonder there is a sense of déjà vu in the sound of the piano, but I didn't expect that the Taoist piano skills are so wonderful, which makes people haunted by dreams, can't pose, and unconsciously fall into the faint rhyme, for the joy, for the sadness, for the resentment, sad but full of hope, it is really unforgettable, and the imagination is thousands! Thanks to the Taoist for his mercy, the slave family has thanked the Taoist for his generous gift on behalf of his daughter! ”

Xu Fushi is worthy of the reputation of the first of Qin Huai's top ten famous prostitutes, her mind is quick and wide-ranging, she has already heard the true meaning of the song, cleverly avoided the embarrassment of saying that the lotus flower comes from the sludge and is not stained, and used a "sad but full of hope" to show her deep understanding, and finally on behalf of the girl, Zhu Daolin expressed his sincere thanks to Zhu Daolin, so that Zhu Daolin had to look at her at the same time, and his heart also increased his good feelings.

Ying Changpei was very happy, his eyes rolled, and he began to spoil again: "Wonderful! The daughter is easy to get, and the bosom friend is hard to find, what he is talking about is the wonderful affection of the Xu family and the Daolin brother in front of him, the virtuous brother, don't you want to give Xu everyone a cup? ”

Zhu Daolin was not pretentious, he picked up the cup and raised it generously to his chest: "Thank you Xu for your encouragement, drink first as a respect!" ”

Everyone applauded, and the laughter did not stop, and they heard a coquettish call from outside the cabin: "Sister Xiaofu, why did you invite such a high-ranking person but didn't inform your sister?" Are you afraid that your sister will rob your people? ”

Zhu Daolin looked out the window as curiously as everyone present, and was quickly frightened by the five or six painting boats that were slowly approaching all around.

The radiant Xu Fuying stood up, held the small wine glass in both hands, smiled at Zhu Daolin, and drank it all very boldly, then turned around and walked outside the cabin, smiled at the plump beauty on the exquisite painting boat that slowly approached, and then said a blessing to the two officials beside her:

"Sister Mei loves to talk nonsense again, and she is not afraid of the world-famous Lord Lang and Dr. Kuang Da laughing? Two adults, the slave family is polite! ”

Qian Qianyi, the well-proportioned and long-haired waiter of the Ministry of Rites and the head of Donglin, laughed, and asked with a smile under the support of the thirty-year-old Liuxiangfang Lao-Bustard and Dr. Kuang Ziyue, a doctor of Guozijian, who stood still, and bent down slightly, and asked with a smile:

"This official came uninvited, please forgive me! It's just that the sound of the piano is long, like a heavenly sound, lingering and mournful, circling and circling, which makes people can't give up, and they can't help but come to bother, I don't know if Xu can quietly tell each other, who is the master in the shipbuilding? What's the name of the song? ”

Xu Fu looked at the flower boat close to the left and right and the well-known celebrities on it, and after greeting politely, he approached the squire slightly:

"The slave family doesn't dare to hide Lord Qian, the master who played a song "Out of the Water Lotus" just now, my lord is afraid that he has heard of it, it is the young Taoist of Ziyangguan who generously donated money to help tens of thousands of displaced people and became famous, Mr. Zhu Daolin."

"If the lord is willing to summon him, what does it matter if the slave family gives up this face? I'm just worried that the slave's ship is too small, and I will snub the merry gentleman who came to visit, hehe! ”

Qian Qianyi was slightly stunned, and then he was happy: "I have already heard of the good deeds of Ziyang Guan and the name of Daoist Xiaozhu, but I didn't expect to have the honor to meet it on the Qinhuai River, it's great!" Xu everyone doesn't need to make it difficult, after the meeting, the official personally toasted Xiao Zhu Daochang to apologize, haha! ”

Qian Qianyi's laughter did not fall, Zhao Xunting, who had not yet resigned as the head of the Ministry of Works, had already led Zhu Daolin and Ying Changpei out to greet him, Qian Qianyi and Kuang Ziyue were even happier when they saw their familiar colleague Zhao Xunting, and greeted each other with a spring breeze on their faces, cordial greetings, but they left out the two beauties of Xu Fu and Mei.

On the five painting boats that have been close to each other, many celebrities and gentlemen seem to have a lot of scruples about the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Lord Qian, and greet each other from the painting boats, waiting quietly with a smile on their faces, no one dares to make a loud noise, let alone board Xu Fu's painting boat without permission.

When Xu Fu was in a dilemma, the cheerful Mei family shouted "Let's join the boat", which immediately aroused the cheers of the famous officials on the surrounding painting boats, the famous flowers, the boatmen and bustards, and even hundreds of people.

For a while, the collision of the ship's side, the coquettish laughter of the girls, the shouts of the boatmen and the greetings of officials and celebrities converged and resounded through Qinhuai.
