In the backyard of the red-sleeved Zhao Feng Xuan, Zhao Ming sat on the railing, Yan Lie drank the last sip of wine with his back against the Xuanzhu, and poured the last drop of wine in the wine jar into the pond, attracting many fish to chase him, but he found that there was nothing and couldn't help but look at this big man with a thick beard curiously. Luo Yi and Lin Wan were facing each other and smiling, talking and laughing.

The breeze passed by and the white yarn hanging on the edge of the pavilion danced, and the fish in the pond saw that the two people on the side of the pavilion really had no interest in feeding themselves, and surfaced to look at the four people who were talking and laughing by themselves, and felt that it was really boring, and they continued to look for their lunch.

Zhao Ming, who was sitting on the edge of Yu Xuan, suddenly lit up his eyes, aimed at Lin Wanru, who was talking and laughing with Luo Yi, and directly interrupted their somewhat hypocritical mutual pursuit: "Yes, Miss Lin." I wonder if Miss Lin would mind taking the piano for me? ”

"Huh?" I don't know why Zhao Ming thought of himself, Lin Wanru was a little dazed and a little embarrassed, "But I don't know any musical instruments." ”

Lin Wanru was a little impressive, originally the eldest lady of this family had to know a little musical instrument, and it was good to be able to relieve her husband's boredom, but she had no talent in this regard. I have been studying with a master for a while, but whether it is the piano or the flute, I can't bear to look at the effect of playing, and over time I have lost my mind about music theory.

"No, the instrument is controlled by its own. I'm missing a singer. Zhao Ming remembered the nine-tailed fox that sang under the moon on the way back to Beijing, under the bright moon, the plain girl sang a song, the song turned nine times, around the beam and did not go out, the plain hand waved, the fireflies flew up, moved around the body, and worshiped the moon and rested. Zhao Ming couldn't forget that scene, and he didn't even want to disturb himself, so he walked away silently after hearing it. Lin Wanru also didn't know that his whim was all left in the eyes of another man.

It's just that in this world, being able to order musical instruments can be regarded as an elegant thing, but singing on stage will be looked at by the world in a different light. Most of them are singers, prostitutes entertain people with sex, and the world is cheap. It's not so nice to say. Even Zhao Ming himself felt that this proposal was a bit against his will, and he didn't want the world to see the other side of the nine-tailed fox.

Lin Wanru didn't care very much, since he opened his mouth to ask for himself, even if he was not so willing, he was afraid that he didn't know how to refuse, "Yes, yes." But what am I singing? Don't blame me for losing. ”

"I can't afford to lose!" Seeing that Lin Wanru agreed, Zhao Ming felt a little complicated, and his heart was inexplicable, and the singer problem that had been a headache was finally taken by someone, oh no, solved. Zhao Ming regretted it a little, but it was so difficult for him to say anything and slap his face, so he had to force himself to continue, "When the time comes, you sing like this..."

After singing, I saw the second daughter looking at herself in a daze, not knowing what to think again, Zhao Ming's face was bitter, and he was depressed: "I know that I don't sing well, so don't look at me like a monster like this." ”

"It's really not good." Luo Yi Zhengse first affirmed his self-criticism, and then had a strange expression, "But I haven't heard this song at all, and the original song is not sung like this." But I can't help but say that such a song is sung by you so tactfully and ethereally, which is different from any song in the world. It can really make people's eyes shine and catch people's attention. ”

Lin Wan nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice, Zhao Ming's voice was really blind to this sensational poem, no, it was simply insulting this poem, if you sang it yourself... Before the day of the competition, Lin Wanru fell into his own reverie and couldn't get out.

"The melody is almost perfect, and I can't really find anything to improve." Luo Yi closed her eyes, recalling the melody just now, she had only heard it once, she had completely memorized the melody in her mind and could never forget it, "It's just how to compose the music... Winding! Did you mean it, I haven't even composed that song yet. You're doing another song, you really want to keep me busy to death, don't you? ”

"Hee-hee, those who can work harder." Zhao Ming didn't mind Luo Yi's coquettish hair at all, and begged for mercy cheekily, "Where is Miss Lin here?" What's the problem? ”

"Huh? No problem, no problem. Zhao Ming's inquiry surprised Lin Wanru from his reverie, and hurriedly agreed and smiled like thinking of something, looking playful and cute, "Anyway, it's helping myself." No problem at all. ”

"What does that mean?" Yan Lie, who hadn't spoken for a long time, asked a little curious.

Lin Wanru secretly glanced at Zhao Ming, and saw that his attention was also on him, and his face flushed a little, "This, the stage that is about to compete was set up by my Lin family..."

"Take the opportunity to expand your Lin family's popularity in Bianliang City, and sure enough, Lin Wanru, who is calculated in ten steps, is especially good at seeing the ability to insert needles." Although Zhao Ming was not polite in his mouth, he had a look of real appreciation on his face.

"And..."Lin Wanru glanced at Zhao Ming timidly, and then said, "Now the biggest competition handicap in Bianliang City is also our Lin family." After saying that, he jumped up like a frightened rabbit and hurriedly hid behind Luo Yi.

Zhao Ming widened his eyes, laughing and looking at Lin Wanru, who was behind Luo Yi and peeking at him from time to time, and nodded at her fiercely with his hand: "Just after praising you, you will give me this kind of moth!" Ten to one? You don't have faith in me! ”

Lin Wanru secretly stretched out his head again and glanced at Zhao Ming, stuck out his tongue, and saw that he was not really angry, so he put his mind at ease, ran up and shook Zhao Ming's arm and said: "It is precisely because we have confidence in winning big talents that we set the odds like this, otherwise how can there be money?" ”

"Look." Looking at Zhao Mingqiang's serious face, the smart Lin Wanru begged for mercy cautiously and handed over the ladder, "It is precisely because our Lin family initiated the opening of the odds of one to ten, and the odds of gambling on you to lose in Bianliang City are high, and the slave family is taking out all the pocket money they have accumulated for many years to buy you to win." That's not even optimistic about you! ”

"I don't care if I lose!" Men are all cheap bones, looking at this nine-tailed fox softly begging for mercy in his ear, Zhao Mingna still had a ruthless face, so he had to smile bitterly and said, "How much did you press?" ”

"Not much. 100,000 snowflakes of silver! This is the pocket money that the little girl has saved since she was a child, and the little woman has to go to Sister Wu to beg for food. Seeing that Zhao Ming's face softened, Lin Wanru smiled proudly.

"Huh?" At this time, not only Zhao Ming was dumbfounded, but even Yan Lie next to him stared at this petite woman, 100,000 taels! Such a big number is just the pocket money of a small woman in front of her for many years? Is it because I have been outdated for too long, or is the world changing too fast? Is it that the money is not used properly?

"You're stressing me out more!" Zhao Ming didn't know what he should say, this number completely made him lose the ability to complain. I can't get this amount even if I live and die, and I have a headache for raising the silver of the Flying Kite Army and the Manufacturing Division, and the woman in front of me took out such a big number without making a sound, compared to this, you are a rich royal family, okay!

"Humph! Even Sister Wu spent 10,000 taels to buy you to win, how can I be weaker than her! Lin Wanru's whispering did not escape Zhao Ming's ears. Zhao Ming was powerless to support his forehead with his hand, how could he even participate in Xiao Wu, who had always ignored the world.

"Okay, it seems that the concubine also has to invest some silver to earn some pocket money. You don't have any opinions, right? Luo Yi looked at Zhao Ming's bitter face and felt funny, and joked without saying anything.

Seeing that this goblin was about to come up and cause trouble, Zhao Ming's face was completely distorted, and he said angrily: "Lose to death you gang of idle elements who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic!" ”

Looking at the laughter of the youngest daughters, Yan Lie smiled and came out to play a round: "Okay, brother Xian, what a big deal." Now, there is a way for Jean and Wine, but what about the rest? ”

Speaking of business, Zhao Ming finally broke free from the chaotic thoughts, and just now he had been thinking about whether to take public funds to participate? Get a little money to spend?

"I'll take a look." Zhao Ming counted with his fingers, "There are still chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and tea left." Isn't it just five things, I'll leave them all to me! ”

"Isn't it a pentathlon?" This is a merciless blow from Luo Yi, "We are so confident that we win big talents." Qin and wine don't dare to say that they will win, I don't know how many of these five talents can win? ”

"It's really a good thing for a virtuous brother to have self-confidence, but don't be too conceited. There is no fine line between self-confidence and conceit. Yan Lie also persuaded him, "After all, the Southern Tang Dynasty Wenhua is recognized by the world, and there are many people who are amazing, and they are incomparable to your Northern Zhao and my Western Yan." ”

"Brother from Xiyan?"

"Didn't I say that?" Yan Lie looked at Zhao Ming in amazement.

"What do you say? I always thought you were from Beizhao. ”

"Haha, this is my brother's fault. I'm sorry for my brother again. Yan Lie smiled heartily and saluted, "Brother, don't you look down on me Xiyan?" ”

Zhao Ming hurriedly returned the salute: "Brother's words, I recognize my brother, I don't care what country my brother is from." What about Xiyan, even if the hairy barbarians in the Western Regions have the bearing of their elder brother, they are also friends of their younger brother. ”

"Haha, that's a wonderful statement! When the float is white, the wine comes. Yan Lie laughed, so the Three Kingdoms have too many grievances and hatreds, mixed with too many secular prejudices, especially when they go to the Western Yan people, they are not welcomed. The little brother who looks at the right eye is really not like those mundane things.

"Alright, brother, you still save your energy and wait for tomorrow's good bar." Zhao Ming gave him a blank look, this brother is good at everything, but this alcoholic addict has to change his life.

"By the way, Brother Xian, do you want my brother to recruit a few friends to take on one or two competitions for you? It's a pity that my Xiyan Wenhua is inferior to your Northern Zhao, and I am really not sure about being compared to the Southern Tang Dynasty as a brother. Yan Lie frowned and said, if he was sure, he would have passed on the news a long time ago.

"Brother and rest assured, the younger brother has his own plans. If the Southern Tang people want to defeat me easily, that's a fantasy! Let's wait for the competition in seven days! Zhao Ming squinted his eyes and looked at the outside of Xuan, and the divine light calculated inside was endless.
