Chapter 63: The Art of the Piano

Cui Changshu saw Yue Xun watching from a distance, and there was a good-looking woman standing beside him.

His eyes widened in surprise, and he leaned close to Rou Yun's ear and asked softly: "What's the matter, even if you go to the Qinglou and bring him here, aren't you afraid that he will be fascinated?" ”

Rou Yun was helpless and explained to him what happened.

Seeing the two whispering, Miss Rao asked the man next to her with a smile: "Your wife is so close to the man next to her, is it possible that you don't care?" ”

Yue Xun knew the relationship between the two, ignored Miss Rao's provocation, and walked over with his feet raised.

Seeing that the man was cold to her, the girl had more and more heart to conquer him.

"Entertained by the Oiran? What kind of hospitality is it? Cui Changshu had some unspeakable fragments in his mind, and when he saw Yue Xun approaching, he patted him on the shoulder: "Brother-in-law, what a blessing." ”

"Since we are friends with this son, let's go into the elegant seat and talk together." Miss Rao stepped forward to greet Cui Changshu.

Cui Changshu was naturally itchy when he saw the beauty, and he didn't want to agree directly.

The three of them were taken up to the second floor by Miss Rao, and pushed the room open, different from the wanton publicity outside, the interior decoration of the house was antique, which did not conform to the style of the Qinglou at all.

The maids stepped forward to make tea for you and slowly retreated, and there was a guqin in the bead curtain, which looked very delicate and expensive.

"How about a concubine playing a song for you?" Miss Rao proposed.

"It's so good, I heard that Miss Rao had a good hand on the piano, and today is going to be an eye-opener." Cui Changshu boasted.

Rou Yun glanced at him, he had never been to Liu'an County, where had he heard of it.

Cui Changshu saw her thoughts and whispered: "As an Oiran, I think I am proficient in everything, how bad can I be." ”

But he still overestimated Miss Rao's piano skills.

I saw Miss Rao walk to the guqin, lift the skirt and sit down slowly, the slender jade hand stroked the piano to make enough momentum, a sound of music sounded, Cui Shangshu smiled, this is not very good, but then, he can't laugh.

Miss Rao flicked the strings, the sound of the notes was pieced together into a song, disorganized, Cui Changshu looked at the person who stroked the piano, it was so sunk, but the song was simply magical.

"Your girl, the music is really different." The corners of Cui Changshu's mouth twitched, and he said to the maid who was waiting.

Rao has been serving the girl for so long, and the maid is also sweating profusely and says, "Please bear with me." ”

Yue Xun hurriedly covered Rou Yun's ears, this broken piano sound was difficult for even those who didn't understand vocal music to accept.

Let's make a song, Miss Rao stopped, smoothed the strings, and saluted everyone: "The slave family is ugly." ”

It's really ugly enough, Cui Changshu said in his heart, but on the surface, he still clapped his hands cooperatively, and praised with a conscience: "Miss Rao's song is only because there is one in the sky, but it really makes Cui have endless aftertaste." ”

Miss Rao smiled shyly as if she had found a bosom friend, "Cui Gongzi is really my blue-faced confidant, why don't you stay in Suochun Building and accompany your concubine every day?" ”

When Cui Changshu heard this, he simply stopped pretending, and waved his hand again and again to refuse.

Miss Rao didn't embarrass him, but looked at Yue Xun expectantly, and asked, "I don't know what this son thinks, how is the concubine's song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix"?" ”

"Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" ??? Which note matches "Phoenix Quest"?

Rou Yun looked at Miss Rao, trying to see the joke on her face, but she looked sincere and serious, and at first glance she was seriously waiting for an evaluation.

Rou Yun didn't expect that as the Oiran of Suo Chunlou, she was actually an idiot with incomplete five notes, she signaled Yue Xun not to say too harshly.

Yue Xun didn't notice her gesture, he moved his lips and squeezed out four words: "Vulgar." ”

Miss Rao felt heartbroken when she heard this, although she rarely showed her piano skills in front of outsiders, but those who heard it felt like heaven, how could she become vulgar when she came to him.

She convinced herself that it must be the man who was deliberately so distorted, so she turned around and asked Cui Changshu, "Cui Gongzi, tell me, what is the concubine's piano skills?" ”

Cui Changshu was afraid that she would really keep herself, so she said honestly: "Miss Rao, I think you still need to practice your piano skills more." ”

Miss Rao was not convinced, pointed at Rou Yun and said: "This lady can know "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix", it is better to show it to the concubine." ”

Rou Yun has been in contact with the guqin, her mother is a talented girl who is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so she has been under the influence of her mother since she was a child, and she has been involved in all aspects, but after her mother's death, she has not been in contact for a long time, and some hands are born.

Seeing her hesitation, Miss Rao said, "If Madame wins, how about the concubine promise Madame a condition?" ”

When Rou Yun heard this, she no longer stood up for it: "This is what the girl said, the conditions are not necessary, if I win, the girl will tell me about you and the general?" ”

After hearing this, Miss Rao relaxed and agreed: "What's so difficult about this? ”

Rou Yun got up and walked behind the bead curtain, first stroked each string familiar with the timbre, and then put her hand on it, plucking the strings, the sound of the guqin was far away, pulling people into the fairyland described by the sound of the qin.

The guests outside stopped what they were doing and enjoyed themselves.

The sound of the piano is sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and when you listen carefully, it looks like the chirping of a phoenix.

"Good! Fabulous! I didn't expect my sister to have this ability. Cui Changshu was the first to stand up and applauded excitedly.

Yue Xun looked at her with love in his eyes, and he didn't seem surprised at all, after all, his lady was an all-powerful woman in his eyes.

Seeing that after Rou Yun finished playing, everyone was different from her own performance, looking at this situation, it seemed that she had fallen into defeat, she did not believe in evil, and pulled the maid over and asked: "How does my piano skills compare with this lady?" ”

Isn't that obvious? The maid thought so in her heart, but still boasted: "You and this lady play well, but the skills are different, how to compare." ”

Shen Rao knew that she had always conquered everyone with her dancing skills, so she proposed to compare dances with Rou Yun, but Yue Xun refused.

"You can't win more than anything." Yue Xun spoke viciously, but he was also the truth.

"Miss Rao just lost, it's time to tell me about you and the general." Rou Yun has always been concerned about this one issue.

Miss Rao was not happy, of course she couldn't admit defeat so easily as an Oiran, and at this time, someone knocked on the door.

The maid stepped forward to open the door and found that it was Mother Qian in the building, Mother Qian squeezed her fat body into the house, looked left and right, saw Rou Yun wearing a mask, and stepped forward to flatter: "Fang Cai is the music played by this girl?" "Of course, Mother Qian knew that the song was not composed by Miss Rao, after all, she was also fortunate to have heard Shen Rao's 'Xianle'.

"Yes." Rou Yun didn't know her purpose and generously admitted.

"Girl, have you ever thought about developing in Suochun Building?" Realizing that what she said was inappropriate, Mother Qian hurriedly explained: "I'm talking about going to the building to be a music girl, the serious kind!" Don't you know, the guests downstairs heard the girl stroking the piano, and shouted that they were willing to pay a high price to listen to the girl play again! If the girl is willing to come, what if the price is raised by the girl? ”

Rou Yun didn't expect to cause such a reaction, and she quickly thanked her for her kindness.

"This mother, don't persuade me anymore, do you look at my junior sister's dress, like a person who is short of money?" Cui Changshu opened his mouth to untie the siege.

Mother Qian looked at it carefully, and saw that the silk and satin on the husband and wife were very luxurious, and even the rich merchants in the county could not reach this level, so she hurriedly shut up, so as not to offend the nobles.

"Mom, just step down if it's okay, I still have something to do." Miss Rao saw that as soon as Mother Qian entered the door, she completely forgot about this oiran, and complained: "I have a new love and forget the old love." ”

Mother Qian couldn't cry or laugh, but she still retreated, she wanted to add a few more words, looked at Yue Xun's cold eyes, and ran downstairs.

"Since Madame has won, then I will inform you of the matter." No matter how much she didn't want to admit that she hadn't lost, the guests in the building couldn't deceive people. She continued: "But I want to know, why is the girl so concerned about the affairs of the general, isn't she afraid that your husband will be jealous?" Shen Rao lit the fire and looked at the husband and wife.

Rou Yun was a little ashamed, but in order not to reveal her identity first, she could only lie: "The general used to be the lover of my dreams, so I will naturally rest assured about him." ”

Seeing that she had what she wanted to hear, she asked Yue Xun teasingly: "This son, your wife has admitted it so, don't you have any opinions in your heart?" ”

When Yue Xun heard the lover in his dream, he did substitute himself into it, and his face under the Rakshasa mask actually began to heat up, although he knew that Rou Yun said this in order not to reveal his identity, but he was still rarely ashamed.

"So what, the girl in the boudoir has a person she likes, is it something unsightly?"

Miss Rao didn't expect that as a man, she could be so indifferent, she saw that it was not good to provoke men, and then asked: "Could it be that the son has also had someone he likes?" ”

This question made Rou Yun curious, he made it up, and I don't know what Yue Xun would answer.

Yue Xun pondered for a moment and chuckled: "Yes." ”

"Who?" Miss Rao and Rou Yun asked at the same time.

"My wife." Yue Xun took Rou Yun's hand, "It's a pity that I didn't meet her earlier, otherwise I would have been able to love her longer." ”

Although Rou Yun was shy, she still held his hand tightly, and Miss Rao saw that she was provoking and had the opposite effect, that was angry, Cui Changshu had been single for more than 20 years, and he was also sad when he heard the words, when would he be able to suffer this pity.

"Now you can listen to me." Miss Rao just wants to end it quickly.

Rou Yun sat upright, looking particularly serious.

"I met the general at a celebration banquet for the defeat of the Huns." Miss Rao fell into reminiscences, "At that time, I first entered the Qinglou, but I was fortunate to have my mother's permission to entertain everyone in the barracks. ”

"What kind of hospitality?" Cui Changshu secretly glanced at Yue Xun, a little curious.

Miss Rao smiled shyly, "What else can you entertain in the Qinglou?" ”
