"Zhuo Jiabalang is a well-known studious and diligent person in Chang'an, and of course this son has heard of it." Ning Shaobi stared at her, suddenly 'revealed' a bright smile, and said kindly, "Since the little lady is Zhuo Ba's sister, why does she live in Youjia for a long time?" ”

Zhuo Zhaojie always felt that when he said "studious and diligent", he seemed to have some ill intentions, but when he looked at Ning Shaobi's expression, he didn't seem to have malicious intentions...... After hesitating, he said: "I have been weak since I was a child, so I foster my grandfather's family." ”

"I see!" Ning Shaobi and Su Bo glanced at each other, and the smile on the corner of their mouths became even stronger.

Zhuo Zhaojie said suspiciously: "Dare to ask why the prince is also here?" ”

"Oh." Ning Shaobi said absentmindedly, "This son's grandmother likes pipa, and when he heard that there is an excellent pipa here, he came to see it, and if it was really good, then he bought it with his grandmother." ”

"I see!" It was Zhuo Zhaojie's turn to say this, she looked around, except for Ning Shaobi's subordinates, there was no half a figure in the huge Boya Zhai, so she was a little puzzled, "What is Xie Niangzi doing behind?" It hasn't come out for a long time? ”

Ning Shaobi snorted slightly: "That lady just took over this store, it is said that the original proprietor transferred the inventory to her, but she is not familiar with it...... You have to look for it slowly to find the side you want in this life. ”

Rolling his eyes, he stretched out his folding fan and said with a smile, "Zhuo Xiaoniang, sit down and wait." ”

He said this, the Kunlun slave who hammered the 'legs' for him immediately put down the 'jade' hammer, rushed to the back and moved a low couch over - this Kunlun slave has excellent arm strength, Zhuo Zhaojie recognized at a glance that the low couch was made of rosewood, extremely heavy, and the style was not easy to move alone, but he firmly placed Ning Shaobi's head, took a few steps back, knelt down, picked up the 'jade' hammer, and continued to knock on the 'legs' for Ning Shaobi as if nothing happened.

Zhuo Zhaojie thanked him, and after sitting down, he couldn't help chatting with Ning Shaobi, who asked Zhuo Zhaocui casually, but saw that Zhuo Zhaojie was not clear...... Instead, he asked him about Chang'an, and Ning Shaobi said casually: "Chang'an? The imperial capital is naturally more prosperous than Moling, and the Qujiang Furong Garden in the southeast of the city has a bit of Jiangnan style...... The little lady in Chang'an City loves to go about there, by the way, the Minping Marquis Mansion is in the Tongshan Fang near the left, and it seems that a culvert has been dug to divert water into the house...... But this son hasn't been in it, so I don't know. ”

It sounds like this, Ning Shaobi and Zhuo Zhaojie shouldn't be very familiar.

Zhuo Zhaojie secretly speculated that on the dock that day, listening to Zhuo Zhaocui's tone and this prince, even if they knew each other, the relationship would definitely not be too good, and I didn't know what the two of them had to do...... Speaking of which...... The arrogance and arrogance that day when I watched the ship smash into the dock was very different from the cold and arrogant son in front of me......

Ning Shaobi saw that she was suddenly silent, and seemed to feel that there was nothing to say, so she asked the orchid who held the golden basin to take out the porcelain pot from the ice, and the orchid first put the golden basin on the cabinet, and then untied a small package from behind her, and there was a brocade box inside, and when she opened the brocade box, it was a pair of 'fine' and chic 'jade' cups.

"This is tulip wine, Xie Niangzi has not come for a long time, it is boring to wait, and the little lady might as well taste a glass." Ning shook his arm and made a gesture of please, Zhuo Zhaojie because there was no tea after arriving here, such as today's heat, in the end, he was thirsty, plus the so-called Lanling wine tulip, the 'jade' bowl was filled with amber light - although this tulip is now poured not a 'jade' bowl but a 'jade' cup, the general 'wave' light is sultry, plus it only came out of the ice, the 'jade' cup wall is a layer of dense water droplets, looking at it is cool and refreshing, a little hesitation, and then I said thank you happily - under the shallow sip, I only feel that the entrance is sweet and bitter, with a slight bitter taste, The bitter taste lasted for a long time, and Zhuo Zhaojie couldn't help but praise it.

Ning Shaobi talked a few words of wine with her, but she was also a little familiar, but Zhuo Zhaojie remembered his cold and proud appearance on the lake, although she was the grandson of the Hou Mansion, but she grew up in the south of the Yangtze River, and she had no experience in dealing with the children of the princess, and she thought that when she saw this world twice, she didn't look like she liked to laugh, so it was better to say a few words less, so she stopped talking after Ning Shaobi praised a few words of tulip.

Seeing that she didn't seem to have much interest in the topic, Ning Shaobi said that it was boring, and she also stopped.

The two of them drank slowly and thoughtfully, and when a pot of tulips was about to bottom, there was finally a sound of hurried footsteps behind them - but I saw a green-clothed 'girl' with empty hands, hurriedly stepping out, this 'girl' was far younger than Zhuo Zhaojie thought, only seventeen or eighteen years old, goose egg face, thin and curved eyebrows, eyes like autumn water, Yao nose cherry 'lips', born very beautiful, after she came out, she was also stunned when she saw Zhuo Zhaojie, and then guessed that Zhuo Zhaojie was the person entrusted by Fang Niangzi, nodded at her slightly - then turned to Ning Shaobi, and said: " Shizi, the people's 'woman' has turned over the entire treasury, and she doesn't see the pipa that Shizi said! ”

"Huh?" Ning Shaobi frowned.

"If the prince does not believe, he can follow the people's 'daughters' to the treasury to look for it." This green-clothed 'girl' Xie Niangzi pulled away her skirt and said earnestly, "The people's 'girl' took over this shop, and now the son of the world is the first guest, if there is, how can it not be sold?" ”

Ning Shaobi frowned, Xie Niangzi stood quietly, but Ning Shaobi groaned for a moment, but said indifferently: "Since there is none, then forget it." ”

Xie Niangzi breathed a sigh of relief, but also a little surprised, as if she didn't expect him to be so easy to speak.

Zhuo Zhaojie was not surprised—she felt that Ning Shaobi was originally a cold-looking person who was occasionally a little flamboyant, but her essence was very easy-going......

Ning Shaobi stood up, and the Kunlun Nu put the pipa in his hand back in its place, and an orchid cleaned up the wine cup...... The other stepped forward to smooth the folds of Ning Shaobi's clothes, except for Su Bo, who was still holding his sleeves, the four 'waiters' performed their own duties, and the surroundings were restored to their original state in an instant.

Xie Niangzi wanted to send her off, but Ning Shaobi ignored her, but instead looked at Zhuo Zhaojie deeply, and said meaningfully: "If Zhuo Xiaoniang likes to play the pipa, it is better to come to the world to learn from her...... The grandmother of this son also likes this skill, and this son of the world is familiar with it, and he also knows a little ...... Teach you a few popular tunes in Chang'an, and when you miss your relatives in Chang'an, you can also play it and talk about it. ”

"I'm going to study for the first day today." Zhuo Zhaojie said a little embarrassed, "I don't know when I can play the tune?" ”

"The little lady is smart when she looks at it, and she must learn quickly." Ning Shaobi stood by the 'door', stroked her chin, turned her head, and said with a smile.

Zhuo Zhaojie was most willing to believe that others praised him for being smart and clever, and immediately said confidently: "Borrow the auspicious words of the son." ”

After Ning Shaobi left, Xie Niangzi covered the 'door' with her hand, turned around and hurriedly apologized to Zhuo Zhaojie: "I really didn't expect to snub Zhuo Niangzi today." ”

"It doesn't matter." Because Xie Niangzi was looking for a pipa for Ning Shaobi before-delayed a lot of Chenguang, Zhuo Zhaojie was afraid that he would have to worry about going back to Ban too late, and he had no time to greet him, so he said directly, "If Xie Niangzi is convenient, let's start now?" ”

While speaking, he asked Minghe to bring the pipa and the bundle over.

Xie Niangzi nodded, looked at Shu Yu but said with a smile: "The people's 'girl' is a few years older than Zhuo Niangzi, so I don't need to apprentice?" Besides, the people's 'girl' has no time to go to the palace to sit in the museum because she wants to get started with the pipa making skills left by the old man, and yesterday she refused the person sent by Mrs. Ban, and she already felt guilty in her heart, where can she still restrain herself? I can only teach the lady for an hour every day. ”

She added, "The people's 'daughter' is famous, Zhuo Niangzi doesn't dislike it, just call it by name." ”

"Then I'll call you sister." Zhuo Zhaojie also felt that the apprenticeship was unreliable because he saw that she was four or five years older than him, so he said, "Sister is not welcome...... I'm not an official government, so I don't need to call myself a people's 'girl', let's just talk like this - this is my meeting gift to my sister. ”

She said this, and Xie Yingmai saw that she didn't seem to have the habit of taking back the things she took out, so after thinking about it, she took it away, so she led her to the back - Zhuo Zhaojie saw that she was the only one when she arrived at the back, so she said strangely: "Sister Xie, you are the only one here?" So what do you do when you teach me? ”

"I haven't officially opened yet." Xie Yingmai immediately changed his name, led the way, turned around and smiled, "The 'door' that was opened today in order to wait for you to come, where did you think that a prince would come...... I plan to close it for a while, and then open it when the skill of making pipa comes up, otherwise I will sell out the pipa made by Uncle Fang, and then I can only close the 'door'. ”

"Yes." Zhuo Zhaojie thought to herself that as soon as Ning Shaobi left, she covered the 'door' - Jiangnan is rich, Moling is a mansion city, the people have always been simple, the sky is dayless, as long as the 'door' is covered, others will not come in, not to mention that there is a chauffeur of the You family guarding outside, she is curious, "Since Abbot Fang wants to return to his hometown and give the shop to Sister A, how can even the skill of making pipa be passed on to Sister A?" "Don't say that the pipa made by the self-proclaimed Boya Laosuo Uncle Fang even a pipa national player has to go down to the south of the Yangtze River to get it in person, even some of the craftsmanship in the ordinary small shop is also hidden, and people who are not very close are unwilling to pass it on, this truth, Zhuo Zhaojie also knows.

Xie Yingmai smiled, but did not speak.

Zhuo Zhaojie suddenly realized that his question was abrupt, so he didn't say anything more.

Xie Yingmai got Fang Niangzi's words yesterday, and deliberately cleaned up a quiet room to confirm that Zhuo Zhaojie had no foundation, but she 'revealed' a little gratifying 'color' - she is busy now, and her favorite is the disciple who has just started learning, and she doesn't even need to explore the bottom, she can teach it directly.

This Xie Yingmai looks not very old, but there are thin cocoons on the ten fingers and sides of the fingers, some look like they are playing the pipa, and some are not quite similar, Zhuo Zhaojie made up his mind this time and refused to disappoint the elders who silently cared about him in Chang'an, let alone let the other party lose face in front of Li Yanjing, although Xie Yingmai found that the position of the cocoon on her hand was a little strange when she taught her hand, especially the tiger's mouth in her right hand, when she adjusted the gestures for Zhuo Zhaojie, she could feel the tenderness of the young lady there, Zhuo Zhaojie secretly thought that Xie Yingmai was afraid that he was used to making a hard living since he was a child, and secretly sympathized, and didn't want to be distracted, and was stopped by Xie Yingmai's clear voice, so he was too busy to be distracted, so he restrained his thoughts and studied attentively......

An hour later, Xie Yingmai looked at the copper leak and said apologetically: "Today's Chenguang has arrived......"

"Then I'll go back." Zhuo Zhaojie stood up with some reluctance to hold the pipa, Minghe moved over to pick it up, Xie Yingmai saw that she seemed to be unsatisfied, and said with a smile: "Actually, the lady continues to stay, I can't teach you anything today, you have to practice the ones you just taught first." ”

Zhuo Zhao nodded and said, "I will definitely not slack off when I go back." ”

"That's fine." Xie Yingmai was obviously very busy, and she didn't have time to say more words before she made a gesture of sending off the guests.

Zhuo Zhaojie really sympathized with her - she was a few years older than herself, the young lady went to Moling alone to join her relatives, but now she has to fend for herself, this Boya Zhai is not a big shop, but there are also small three floors in front of the pipa, and the row of houses in the back is a warehouse and residence, plus a small garden in front...... It's enough for her to think about these places.

At the moment, I decided to go back and say good things to Ban's again, and if I could help her, I would help her, and when I arrived at the 'door', I saw the coachman and the little guy with the car coming up, and my heart moved, so I asked Xie Yingmai: "I think Sister is not used here for the time being, why don't you borrow two people to help Sister A?" ”

She meant well, but she didn't think it was appropriate when she said it...... Xie Yingmai is not the previous boya Laosuo, a young and beautiful little lady, she is here alone, 'getting' two little guys, unless it is below the general corner, how can there be no gossip? But if you make a 'woman', Zhuo Zhaojie brought a personal 'girl' this time, and she can't leave herself.

Sure enough, Xie Yingmai said with a smile: "Thank you lady, but now that the shop is not open, I can barely cope with it alone." ”

"Okay, see you tomorrow." Zhuo Zhaojie didn't say anything more, and let Minghe help him into the carriage.
