Chapter 65: The Sunset Drum

In autumn, Zhuo Zhaojie's pipa has gradually gotten started, Ning Shaobi's "powder ball" is worthy of being something that even Zhuo Zhaocui is surprised, although only a small bottle, but it is extremely easy to use, Zhuo Zhaojie is now no longer scarred on his fingers, and there is no trace after the previous injury is healed, she secretly praises this 'medicine' is easy to use, and it looks like it is gradually decreasing, which is really a pity.

It's just that she didn't expect to ask Ning Shaobi for it again - first, according to Zhuo Zhaocui, "Dough" is very precious, and secondly. After Zhuo Zhaocui repeatedly emphasized staying away from Ning Shaobi - in view of the facts, Zhuo Zhaojie felt that it would never be wrong to listen to his brother!!

At this time, she has already begun to practice a longer tune, Xie Yingmai's boya Zhai did not change the name, and reopened on the day of the autumn equinox, because she is no better than the abbot Fang in the local area, she is both young and 'female', so in addition to the rest of the pipa of the abbot, Xie Yingmai made a discount, on the day of the opening, of course, Zhuo Zhaojie had to go to the party, in order to be lively, he also posted a post to pull Song Xiaoniang, Lian Xiaoniang and other companions.

Xie Yingmai bought two eleven or twelve-year-old little envoys before the opening, named Dahuan and Xiaohuan, and prepared to start after opening, when Zhuo Zhaojie reminded her that these two little envoys didn't even know the word, but they couldn't entertain any guests, Xie Yingmai Dao was at that time with his own relatives to come to help - on the day of the opening, Zhuo Zhaojie arrived with his companions, but was surprised to find that Xie Yingmai invited to prepare to be the shopkeeper, and he actually knew it!

It was that Mrs. Wu from Qujiazhuang!

This Mrs. Wu is actually Xie Yingmai's relatives who came here to defect, the two are cousins, and it is also because Qu Tan has not yet been moved, her family is poor, the house is narrow, and it is extremely inconvenient to live with Qu Tan, Wu's husband and wife, and an old servant, but Xie Yingmai is a young lady in the young 'spring', and it is really not good to live with her cousin and cousin-in-law for a long time, so she tried to make another living early.

Although Zhuo Zhaojie has been learning pipa with Xie Yingmai for a few days, most of the things she talked about with Xie Yingmai were pipa, and she thought that Xie Yingmai was a young lady in the 'spring', obviously having relatives in the local area, but she still came out to make a living alone, I am afraid that the relatives will not be able to see her, but for fear of touching her sadness when asked, she deliberately did not mention it - I didn't expect it to be like this.

Mrs. Nawu was also very surprised to see her, but neither of them was Zhuo Zhaojie because the handle held by Mrs. Wu is Bai Zihua's, and now the handle is burned to ashes, and he has no shortcomings in the hands of Mrs. Wu, and after being surprised, he will be nothing, only secretly sighing that the world is so coincidental, that Mrs. Wu is also powerful, and it is as if nothing happened, Zhuo Zhaojie thought that she was a cousin in the end, although they were not similar, but this vigorous and capable and assertive look is really the same blood.

Because the original incident involved Bai Zihua's famous festival, even if Zhuo Zhaojie and Mrs. Wu had the opportunity to speak alone, they were tacitly and never mentioned that the two had met before.

On this day, Zhuo Zhaojie went to Boya Zhai, and after learning for an hour, he asked Xie Yingmai for advice: "Although I have practiced the "Sunset Xiao Drum" taught by Sister A, I can't play the sound of Sister A's demonstration, what is the reason?" ”

"Happiness is born from the heart, and you are skilled in your skills, so it's a matter of heat." Xie Yingmai said, "This is a famous song from ancient times, you can practice it now that you haven't learned pipa for a long time, it is already a good progress, and it is not strange that you can't practice well for a while, so you don't have to be anxious." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie held the pipa, tilted his head and said: "Since it is born from the heart, I don't know this heat, is there a way to solve it?" ”

"There's no urgency." Xie Yingmai admonished, "Haiyou and the like, for the sake of survival, learning pipa only pays attention to flattery, so in a hurry, there is no need to think deeply about why to play, it is nothing more than the word survival, but Xiao Niang is different, I think Xiao Niang learning pipa, should be pleasing to herself, so everything is still natural, there is a feeling in my heart, and I have my own nature." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie was embarrassed when he heard this, thinking that Sister Xie only talked to herself more than the pipa, but she didn't know why she was serious about learning this pipa for flattery? One is to fight for the elders, and the other is to have the skills to get the 'door' when you arrive in Chang'an...... Speaking of which, it's still to please others!

If it is only for the sake of pleasing herself, she is not happy to suffer such hardships.

But since Xie Yingmai expected such an elegant height for her, of course Zhuo Zhaojie refused to deny it, and asked a few more fingerings, and was about to say goodbye, when Mrs. Wu pushed the 'door' in and said first: "It's raining, Zhuo Xiaoniang put the pipa in the box and then go out, so as not to suffer the 'tide'." ”

Then he said, "I just seemed to hear Zhuo Xiaoniang asking a question from the heart on the corridor? If you don't think I'm too talkative, my clumsy husband used to learn the piano with others, but there were times when he was skilled but couldn't play the proper song......"

Zhuo Zhaojie hurriedly asked: "Dare to ask Madame, is there a good plan?" ”

"It's not a good idea, it's just a reference for the little lady." Mrs. Wu didn't sell Guanzi, and said briskly, "At that time, the clumsy husband practiced "The Wind into the Pine", but it was always rare to have charm, and then he specially "found" a hill, full of pine trees, and lived in it for a period of time. ”

Zhuo Zhaojie Shen 'chanted' and said: "This "Sunset Xiao Drum" is the sunset in the south of the Yangtze River, boating on the river, the scene of the drums of the cruise boats, although it is the scene of the 'spring' day, but witnessing the sunset, boating on the water, may indeed be useful." ”

She knows her own family affairs, and the reason why she can't play the charm of "Sunset Drum" is nothing more than that she has never spent the night outside since she was a child, and it is difficult to imagine the scene of boating on the water at dusk.

Back at Youfu, Ban listened to this request and refused without hesitation: "It's autumn now, the days are short and the nights are long, even if you watch the sunset on Qingcao Lake, it's too late to come back, I'm afraid there will be a curfew at that time, do you stay on the boat for the night?" ”

"It's just one night, and it's over." Since Zhuo Zhaojie has even suffered from the scarred ten fingers before, he naturally doesn't care about the embarrassment next to him now.

Ban Shi nodded her eyebrows: "Is it something that you don't endure hardship?" What kind of lady has the rules to spend the night outside? Not to mention on the lake - you weren't scared enough last time? ”

"The falcon was an accident, I haven't heard anyone scratched in these days, I think it probably passed by and flew away." Zhuo Zhaojie hugged her sleeve and entangled, "Besides, it's hard for me to be so scared by the flat-haired beast that I dare not go to the lake for the rest of my life?" There is no such reason! ”

Ban said: "Anyway, you are not allowed to spend the night outside, is it just for you to learn a song, do you have to ask your grandfather to go to Meng Taishou to ask for a warrant, and let you come back after curfew?" Impossible! ”

Zhuo Zhaojie begged for a long time, but Ban did not agree, so she had to go back to Binwei Courtyard.

On the way, seeing that her interest was not high, Minghe and Mingji glanced at each other, and Minghe said: "In fact, the purpose of the 'girl' is to watch the scenery of boating on the water when the sun sets......

"Hey, what's that place?" Zhuo Zhaojie asked hurriedly.

"Did the 'girl' forget?" Mingji said with a smile, "Before, it was difficult for the four ladies of the Bai family to enter the tea and dinner before leaving the pavilion, and the elders of the Bai family persuaded her to go to the courtyard to live and relax, and the third mother and the 'girl' accompanied her. ”

Minghe nodded and said: "Although the river is not wide, it is connected with the Hangzhou Canal, the water is not exhausted at four o'clock, and the boat on the river can also carry three or five people. ”

was reminded by them, Zhuo Zhaojie also remembered that Meng's courtyard was indeed built next to the river, and even upstairs could see the sparkling water through the willow smoke.

"But the courtyard belongs to the second young lady of the Bai family, before Sister Bai was her serious sister-in-law, and she was relaxed before leaving the pavilion, and it was okay to borrow it for a few days, although I expected that Sister-in-law Meng would not refuse, but it seemed to be too much of a move...... Zhuo Zhaojie hesitated.

Minghe and Mingji didn't have much to do this time - Ban made it clear that he didn't want Zhuo Zhaojie to spend the night, and they could come up with Xiaohezhuang Courtyard to remind Zhuo Zhaojie that they were already bold, and they wanted Ban to know that they were going to alarm the Bai family in order to practice a tune, and it would be strange if they didn't punish these 'women' heavily!

Zhuo Zhaojie practiced again after returning to Binwei Courtyard, the more he played, the more he was disappointed, and he went to Duanyi Garden to entangle Ban's, but Ban's let her be coquettish and courteous, crying, making trouble, and hanging herself, so that all the killer features of the little ladies were still immovable, Zhuo Zhaojie was helpless, so he had to give up.

The next day, she went to Boya Zhai again, and when she saw Mrs. Wu, she said, "I want to use the method you said, but it is a pity that my grandmother does not agree to me going out." ”

Mrs. Wu said with a smile: "I was complained by Yingmai after the little lady left yesterday, but I was born in the countryside, and the Zhuangzi where I live is by the river, so I think it is not difficult to watch the sunset on the water, but I forget that the rules of the family are not as small as mine." ”

Since she talked about Qujiazhuang, Zhuo Zhaojie was curious for a while, so she asked: "I heard that Guizhuang was purchased by the nobles of Chang'an, I don't know which nobleman's property it is?" ”

"The master of Qu Jiazhuang is indeed a noble man in Chang'an." Mrs. Wu glanced at her, smiled and said, "Now there is still a chief steward sent by Chang'an living in the village, but I don't have much to say about who it is." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie sighed - she just asked casually, and since Mrs. Wu refused to say it, she naturally didn't pursue it.

However, Mrs. Wu coughed lightly, and said intentionally or unintentionally: "But the younger generation of that nobleman, not long ago, went south, and now he is living in Zhuangzi. ”

Then it must be Ning Shaobi, and the Moling is only so big, where can the whereabouts of the nobles in Chang'an be hidden?

It is estimated that there is a good chance of this Qu Jiazhuang. Nine is the property of the Marquis of Yongcheng, even if it is not the Marquis of Yongcheng, it should be the eldest princess of Jiyang.

Zhuo Zhaojie thought of the young man Lang Junyan who was passing by in the willow shade and the teasing of Yan Yan and the clear eagle chirp, and couldn't help but snort secretly, saying in his heart that he was really confused, how could he think that the cold and arrogant son he met on the lake was a good person? I don't know what he is pretending to be thousands of miles away for him......

She also thought about these casually, and then concentrated on asking Xie Yingmai again.
