After a while, Ah Xing came out with a pipa box, opened the box in front of Tang Ruoyi, and 'exposed' the pipa that still exuded the fragrance of wood inside.

The five-string pipa is made of a whole piece of rosewood, the third on the left and the second on the right, straight neck, shaped like a half-pear, and the headstock is embedded with a tortoiseshell carved into a lotus, which is brilliant. Although the materials are all made to be excellent, the whole pipa does not give people a sense of luxury, but reveals a sense of simplicity and brightness, the whole body is unadorned, only on the back plate there are famous carved winged birds, even branches, indicating that this is a newlywed Heren.

Tang Ruo looked at it a few times, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Zhuo Zhaojie inquiringly: "Can you let me try the sound at the beginning of my life?" ”

No matter how 'fine' you look, a good pipa must be able to play.

Zhuo Zhaojie nodded happily: "Cousin, just give it a try!" As he spoke, he asked Ah Xing to take out the pipa and hand it over.

This kind of wedding gift, but also with the meaning of auspicious blessings, is not limited to the noble and low, in front of the owner, after all, can not be despised. Tang Ruoyi asked the maid to help roll up her sleeves, and then took it. She lightly stretched her 'jade' arm, and she didn't need to protect her fingers, and plucked it a few times, but when she heard the sound of the strings, it was clear and crisp, and she couldn't help but exert a slight force under her fingers, and suddenly the sound of gold and stone was revealed!

"Hey, that's a good sound!" The pipa is popular in the big cool, the poor "door" and "woman" can easily play a few minor tunes, the noble "girl" does not need to work hard for the livelihood, there is no one who does not learn talent before leaving the cabinet, and the county lord will not be a layman, listening to the audition, he blurted out unconsciously, "The sharp hall is crunchy and bursts with five tones, and the strings are distinct, but it is rare!" ”

Tang Ruoyi was also overjoyed: "This one is better than my previous one!" This lady is so powerful! I won't hide it from you, I heard everyone Li recommend it before, and I think that what everyone Li said would not be bad after all. However, when I inquired, I said that this Xie Niangzi has not yet come out of the cabinet! Considering my age, I think that the craftsmanship of making pipa is more reliable for people of the older age. It's a shame that I'm here to ask at the beginning of my life, otherwise I'll miss it! ”

The county lord of Dingcheng was also interested, and said: "Please also ask this lady Xie to make me a side - but I don't know how long it will take to make such a pipa?" ”

"But it's not a coincidence!" Zhuo Zhaojie listened, but he groaned before he said.

Tang Ruoyi and the county lord of Dingcheng were surprised: "What is an unfortunate method? ”

"Sister Xie is out of the cabinet next month, and I'm afraid I'm busy now." Zhuo Zhaojie said, "My cousin and Yan Ning don't know that Sister Xie's parents died early, and she is now living with her cousin Mrs. Wu. Mrs. Wu's husband is the one who is the second class Jinshi Qu Tan of the upper department, and the one who is the one who is 'served' in the palace by the sage. The Qu family now has an uncle who is still alive, but there is no older 'female' dependents to help him, and he is afraid that he will not have time to make pipa. ”

"I forgot about that!" Tang Ruoyi and the county lord of Dingcheng listened, suddenly realized, and nodded, "Since her wedding date is imminent, it's no wonder, let's not be in a hurry, wait a few months, and wait for this Xie Niangzi to be convenient." ”

Tang Ruoyi smiled again and said, "Speaking of which, I want to congratulate you - this Xie Niangzi is going to marry your cousin Ruan Langjun, Ruan Langjun is also a person who is good at playing the piano, isn't it harmonious and the husband sings 'women'?" ”

In the end, the skill of making pipa is not the advantage of being able to be on the stage in the expensive "woman", Tang Ruoyi is a euphemistic congratulations. Zhuo Zhaojie said with a smile: "Borrowing my cousin's auspicious words, don't hide it from my cousin, my eldest aunt is a son of Cousin Ruan, but my eldest cousin in the early years was ...... Now the eldest aunt and eldest uncle are looking forward to the cousin being able to marry Xie Niangzi smoothly, and the family can live happily! ”

"Ruan Niangzi is really a pity." Ruan Yun's death was a few years ago, and Tang Ruoyun and Dingcheng County Lord Chang'an both knew about it, which would inevitably comfort Zhuo Zhaojie with a few words.

In fact, Zhuo Zhaojie had never seen this cousin at all, and he felt sorry for Ruan Yun for Zhuo Fanghua's sake, but he just mentioned it and sighed. She put more of her mind on speculating about Tang Ruoyi's intentions.

However, the two sides talked about it, and they said goodbye together until the evening, Tang Ruoyi didn't say anything else, but just left.

Zhuo Zhaojie sent the guests back, took a sip of tea to refresh himself, and was thinking about it, when the person behind him came to report, saying that Ning Shaobi knew that the two county lords had said goodbye and invited Zhuo Zhaojie to have a meal together.

When she heard this, she stood up, and the eldest princess sent Mama Chang to come again - first went to the inner room to see Ning Shaobi, and after condolences, she went back to her life. Zhuo Zhaojie naturally had to take two steps, and when he got outside, Mama Chang stood up and said to her: "Dare to ask the prince 'woman', the two county lords of Dingcheng and King Qin came today, but to visit the prince?" ”

Zhuo Zhaojie knew that she was the eldest princess and asked, so he said truthfully: "That's so, but I think the county lord is more like coming here to breathe, but it is the county lord of King Qin who came to ask my eldest aunt's daughter-in-law who has not passed the 'door', Sister Xie's skills in making pipa, and said that the pipa given by Concubine Zhou was broken, and I want to find Sister Xie to make a good one." ”

Mama Chang smiled faintly when she heard this, and said: "This is interesting, I am afraid that the prince 'woman' grew up in Jiangnan, I don't know, Concubine Zhou was fond of pipa when she was the first emperor, and she often competed with our Royal Highness!" That will be the emperor favor her first, and give her treasures. Although His Royal Highness the King of Qin has many 'daughters' under his knees, there is only one county lord who comes out. Concubine Zhou has always spoiled her tightly, and with the collection of the concubine, she is afraid that she will not worry about not having a suitable pipa for one or twenty sides. ”

"What Mama said is, but I'm not familiar with this county lord, and I ask Mama to teach me, this matter today?" Zhuo Zhaojie groaned and asked.

Mama Chang smiled and said, "Where do you dare to teach the son of the world what is the 'woman'?" It's just that Concubine Zhou is quite good at looking at 'color', and since the first emperor left, she has been restraining the Qin Wangfu to live a peaceful life. The saint and the queen were kind, but they didn't give her less dignity. But now that all the officials in the court are diligent in their duties, and the world is very peaceful, the king of Qin and the prince of Qin have no place to play, and the prince of the prince 'woman' said yes? ”

Zhuo Zhaojie will come to his senses, which means that Tang Ruoyi is afraid that he will find an excuse to go to the 'door' to show his goodwill.

It's just that she is Ning Shaobi's cousin in terms of seniority, and she is the county lord in terms of identity, so it's really not easy to put down the shelf, so she asks for 'sex' to entrust Zhuo Zhaojie with something. In this way, you can go back and forth under the banner of thanks...... Those who come and go are familiar.

"I see, but thank you aunt for mentioning it." Zhuo Zhaojie thanked her, sent a few more steps, and told someone to take the lantern and go back to the eldest princess's mansion according to Mama Chang.

In this way, when I went back to the inner room, Ah Xing and the others had already set up the couch, the cold dishes had been served, and Ning Shaobi was holding a toothbrush and picking up the shredded 'chicken' in the dish to eat some.

When he saw Zhuo Zhaojie coming back, he said: "This Chang Mama also has no eyes, and when the meal was ordered, she pulled you out and said what she was talking about?" ”

"I think I came here after the two county lords left, and I just caught up." Zhuo Zhaojie said with a smile, "It's also for my grandmother, not to mention that it's just such a little light, don't you be annoyed, aren't we going to have a meal?" ”

After being persuaded by her, Ning Shaobi's face was slightly relieved, he had been asleep for nearly a day, and his 'spirit' had improved a lot, except that his face was still pale and abnormal, looking at his blazing eyes, it seemed that he was about to heal.

Zhuo Zhaojie looked at him a few times and asked, "What will happen to this?" ”

Ning Shaobi shook her head and said, "It's okay on the side, but I can't use it, I'm afraid I will have to lie down for another three or two days." ”

"Does it hurt?" Zhuo Zhaojie couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

Ning Shaobi said casually: "No, ......" but he didn't know what he thought, his eyes rolled, and he changed his words, "It's strange if it doesn't hurt!" ”

"Later, I will ask someone to put a hot cloth on it, so that the blood will melt faster." Zhuo Zhaojie thought for a while and said.

This is exactly Ning Shaobi's purpose, the two of them hastily ate the meal, and the subordinates cleaned it up, and said a few words to eat. Zhuo Zhaojie sent someone to bring hot water.

Because the wound in Zhuo Zhaojie's palm was not completely healed, after sending the young maid down, he left Aunt Mao to come down and twist the handkerchief, but when Ning Shaobi saw this, he said: "I'll hang the handkerchief, you can put it on for me." ”

Since this is the case, Mao Gu has no choice but to retire. The 'door' of the inner room was closed, and Zhuo Zhaojie brought the steaming water basin to the small table on the couch and warned: "You are injured now, don't think much about it!" ”

Ning Shaobi untied her clothes by herself, revealing the bruises on her chest, and said with a smile: "What do I think about?" ”

"Yikes! You hurt! "This injury Zhuo Zhaojie has actually seen it, the day before it was still a 'color', this day has become a purple and black 'color', setting off Ning Shao's jade-like skin, even more hideous, Zhuo Zhaojie was going to hate him again, this will suddenly have no leisure, busy pressing the snow-white handkerchief into the hot water, worried.

Ning Shaobi hurriedly said: "Don't put your hand down." So he rolled up his sleeves, stretched out his hand, scooped up the handkerchief, wrung it out, and handed it over.

Zhuo Zhaojie folded the handkerchief slightly and carefully applied it to his injury, Ning Shaobi immediately hissed, she was startled, hurriedly picked it up, and asked nervously: "But it hurts?" ”

“…… Anyway! Ning Shaobi frowned for a moment, shook his head and said, saying that, he immediately closed his eyes, and sweat seeped out from his forehead.

Zhuo Zhaojie was anxious, and hurriedly 'pulled' a handkerchief from his sleeve to wipe it gently for him, and comforted: "You bear with it...... Isn't it painful? Can I apply it? ”

She didn't know much about medical science, she just thought that Ning Shaobi had been beaten for a while, and there was a bruise on her chest, and the hot compress could dissolve the bruises, but now she looked at Ning Shaobi as if she was in a lot of pain, but she regretted it.

Ning Shaobi closed her eyes and listened for a moment, she was in a hurry, suddenly opened her eyes, and said seriously: "Isn't it painful?" It won't hurt if you kiss me! ”

Zhuo Zhaojie was stunned for a moment, Fang came to his senses, took a sip secretly, raised his hand and pinched his shoulder. Meat', a pinched of hatred - Ning Shaobi screamed, crying and laughing: "This will be really painful!" ”

"It's good if it hurts!" Zhuo Zhaojie poked him on the forehead hatefully, and asked angrily, "That'...... Can you apply it? ”

Ning Shaobi was pretended to be seen through by her, but this would return to her usual 'color', and said nonchalantly: "It will always be better to apply it...... Come, 'rub' for me. ”

Zhuo Zhaojie said in horror: "You are injured...... Doesn't it hurt to touch it? ”

"Bear with it and it's over—isn't that what you just advised me?" Ning Shaobi smiled and took her hand, pressed it on the handkerchief, and said jokingly.

Zhuo Zhaojie was about to be ruthless to 'rub' the blood for him, but he didn't want to shake her but held her hand dishonestly and refused to let go, and the other hand touched her face - Zhuo Zhaojie couldn't help but be angry and funny, and shouted: "What are you still lying about?" Heal your injuries first, don't make a fuss! ”

Ning Shaobi said unwillingly: "I think I will probably be able to ...... Ming'er."

"You want to be beautiful!" Zhuo Zhaojie hatefully opened his dishonest hand and said, "You give me a good raiser until you can get up!" ”

"Tsk! Then I'll be able to get up tomorrow......" Ning Shaobi said immediately.

Zhuo Zhaojie's subordinates weighed slightly—he immediately screamed in pain—Zhuo Zhaojie sneered, "You get up? Xu Yuan ruled that I would not be able to pack a ticket, you dare to get up and try it! ”

"......" Ning Shaobi was speechless for a long time, and thought for a while, "People say that the little lady's family will inevitably have a little temper when she is not out of the cabinet, and she will be a 'woman' when she leaves the pavilion, and in the end she has reined in." Why are you different? I remember you weren't so fierce before we got married. ”

Zhuo Zhaojie's face darkened, and he said, "Why do you regret marrying me?" ”

"Nothing!" Ning Shaobi said, "You just heard it wrong, in fact, I mean, Zhaojie is such virtuous and virtuous, I am simply lucky to be able to marry you!" ”

"You still have a conscience!" When Zhuo Zhaojie heard this, he sneered a few times and let him go for the time being......
