Few luthiers delve into the knee qin, so the knee qin is much more difficult than the usual big qin, and it is difficult to choose materials, make and buy them. Shentu Zhen once told her that the violin is elegant and dexterous, but the sound of the piano is slightly higher and less atmospheric; The timbre of the piano is rich and full, but slightly clumsy; Both have their own strengths and weaknesses, just like yin and yang, and the Tao is in it.

"One relieves boredom, two Shu Yaxing, and three remembers the old man."

Shuying cleans his hands and burns incense, he doesn't need to read the piano score, and his fingertips naturally play a song "Yangguan Three Stacks". After only the first section, the sound of the piano came to an abrupt end, and she seemed to be in a sad dream, staring at the strings, tears welling up in her eyes. Xiuqin and Liluo didn't dare to call her when they saw this.

An Yue heard the sound of the piano in the warm pavilion opposite, and then it was extremely silent, and felt weird, so she came out to see what was going on. Only then did she realize that she had been in a trance, and tears were dripping on the piano.

When he woke up, he asked Xiuqin puzzled: "Since Mr. Suiyun is also the son of Master Hou, why do you want to try someone else?" Who is his mentor and will not be biased towards him? ”

"Little uncle, he has a special identity, he is not from the Hou Lord, and he didn't grow up in the Hou Mansion when he was a child." Xiuqin's face was embarrassed, and there seemed to be a hidden secret.

Shuying tilted her head and thought for a while, still very puzzled: "That's true, but the concubine should also be sent in the name of Madame, where will there be so many obstacles?" ”

Xiuqin leaned closer to her and lowered her voice: "Many outsiders don't know about this matter, I will tell you when you are my own family: Mrs. didn't know about Hou Ye's concubine back then, until someone spread this word from Gusu to the mansion." When Mrs. heard that Hou Ye had privately accepted Kabuki as a concubine and had a son, she was furious and went to the Jinling official mansion to make a big fuss, and wanted to break off with Hou Ye, and was finally persuaded by her mother's family to come back. Who would have thought that a year later, Mrs. had a serious illness and died suddenly! At that time, the little uncle was still in Gusu, and the Liu family and the Lu family were full of righteous indignation, so they naturally refused to recognize this child. Later, perhaps because they saw that Hou Ye was old and there was only one son of Uncle Cheng in the mansion here, they relieved themselves, and Hou Ye took the little uncle back. ”

"Where did you know that?" She was even more suspicious, because Xiuqin knew a lot of inside information, but she seemed to know too clearly.

Xiuqin leaned on her shoulder and blinked her big eyes: "My father and mother told me a story, and they told me not to take this matter to heart." If the East Window incident happens in the future, my sister must not say that I said it! ”

Indeed, Lu Yang is the Lu family, and Xiao Liu is Mrs. Liu's niece, they should all know. But Shuying looked at the little girl who was attached to her, and vaguely felt weird, this incident happened more than ten years ago, and no one dared to mention it again; At that time, Xiuqin was still very young, and her parents and daughter were just chatting, but she was able to memorize so many details, I am afraid it was not just a simple story.

Since Shen Tuzhen wanted to reply to the letter in this way, she asked An Yue to take a recently copied book of Huaxin poems, sandwiched the letter in it, and handed it to Xiuqin when she left. Xiuqin held a book of poems, with a shy smile on her face, like a matchmaker who helped others pass on the things of love in the book.

In the dead of night, An Yue's soft snoring could be heard in the house.

Shuying tossed and turned, rethinking what happened in the morning a few times, and some questions could never be explained:

A few days ago, nothing happened when An Yue was secretly observing there, but it happened that today, when she was there, a snake came out and bit An Yue. If you don't pay attention, the snake will target you.

If someone did it on purpose, who would use a non-venomous snake to make her painless?

It seems that this is not the first time Lu Hongbin has sought medical advice, how can he not remember that the doctor is not here today? What injuries did he suffer again, and he didn't get better for half a month?

Suddenly, she remembered that on the evening of the second day of the eighth lunar month, Lu Qi said to her, "Take care".

A strange thought arose in her mind - Lu Qi seemed to remind her that he must know something.

Gotta go see him, tomorrow!

-

Unable to move an inch, Shuying had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to the front yard to find Lu Qi on the pretext of sending a letter to his family. Unexpectedly, she mustered up the courage to go to him, but the scholar said that Yun Gongzi was not there.

Although she was not angry, she did not have the patience to look around, so she could only find another solution.

In the blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival arrived, and the Marquis of Huaiyong set up a thank-you banquet and invited the princes and nobles and eunuchs in Jinling City to come to thank the families for setting up a road sacrifice when the coffin of the prince went out of the city. In addition, Lu Tongqi also invited the great Confucian He Jianheng from Gusu to thank him for his teaching to the deceased son.

Shen Tu Zhen and his friend Mo Sheng rode a horse together, and the two talked about Shuying on the road.

Mo Sheng saw Shen Tuzhen's brows furrowed, and asked with concern: "Sister Roommate hasn't seen Miss Ying for several months, and she misses her so much, she often asks you about her news recently." Now looking at Ziliang's sad face, I am also very worried when I think about it. Is she having a good time there? ”

Shen Tu Zhen sighed deeply: "Houmen is like an abyss, and things are difficult to do!" ”

"The shadow girl is very smart, even if the Houmen is like the sea, there will always be a piece of heaven and earth in the future." Mo Sheng smiled and patted Shen Tuzhen on the shoulder and persuaded him to want to open a little.

"I heard that Concubine Yu Guifei in the palace recently gave birth to the eldest daughter of the emperor, and the Holy Admiral promoted her father Yu Shangshu to the first assistant, and the scenery was unique for a while. Huaiyong Hou Yuan worked with him, and he was in the same party, so he must have been stained. ”

Mo Sheng looked around cautiously, lowered his voice and said, "Peping, it's better to say less about these words, especially when you come to the Huaiyong Marquis Mansion, if you are hated by them, beware of repeating the mistakes of the past!" Many years have passed since the partisanship, and many things have long since subsided, what are you still mentioning it for? ”

"I will never forget what they did."

Yu Zhongli was promoted by Lu Tongyi, from an unknown petty official who was appointed by the first emperor as the head of the criminal department, and then promoted to the secretary of the ministry, he entered the cabinet at the age of forty-five, and became the first assistant in less than two years.

In the fourth year of Taizong Renming, his father Shentu Mingyuan was falsely accused, and Yu Zhongli presided over the trial of the case, convicted him of two crimes, treachery and arbitrary entry and exit, and sentenced him to beheading. During the trial of the three divisions, Xie Sheng, the right of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, ignored the dissuasion of the left capital Yushi, tried his best to dispel public opinion, and returned Shentu Mingyuan's innocence on the grounds of insufficient evidence to convict him, which shocked the government and the opposition and also alarmed the old party forces.

Unexpectedly, on the day of Zhaoxue, Shentu Mingyuan was humiliated and committed suicide in prison, and then Xie Sheng was demoted to the imperial history of Shaanxi Provincial Inspector. However, no one held Yu Zhongli responsible, and the old party's position in the DPRK and China remained unchanged.

This year, Shentu Zhen was only eight years old, but he lost his father forever.

For more than ten years, he has witnessed his mother washing his face with tears every day, cultivating him with hard work, and witnessing similar experiences to the Xie family, as if the wound has been scabbed and uncovered, how can he easily forget?
