Zhao Ta went back to the house and went to the front hall to sit, and someone came to report that the little maid outside asked to see her.

In fact, this is not in accordance with the rules, no matter the identity of the little maid or the degree of familiarity, it is not enough to directly ask to see Zhao Ta.

Zhao Ta thought about it, maybe Zhao Yuannu sent him, so he asked someone to bring him in, and after entering the hall, he asked, "Is there something wrong with Mrs. Zhao?" ”

When the little maid heard this, her eyes were red, and she said in her heart, Lord Wang, you are merciful, and the lady is infatuated, how can you ask if there is anything wrong at this moment?

She saluted first, and then took out a letter with body temperature from her bosom, and presented it with both hands: "Lord, this is written by the lady to the prince." ”

Zhao Ta took it and opened it, there was no love for children in it, and he meditated in the boudoir, but he just wrote a poem, a nine-card machine.

This word card Zhao Ta has a headache when he looks at it, the main body is one and nine paragraphs, two hundred and seven crosses, and the variant is one and eleven sections, three hundred and three crosses, known as the longest word card in history.

The corners of his mouth twitched, and when he looked at it from his head, his face kept changing, and when he saw the end, he couldn't help but sigh softly, put the letter on the table, and then closed his eyes and pondered.

Lang Yu stood there and didn't dare to move, and after a while, Zhao Ta opened his eyes, looked at the sky outside, and said, "Follow me." ”

The little maid was pleasantly surprised when she heard this, but she was afraid of hearing it wrong, so she said, "Lord Wang...... But you want to see the lady? ”

Zhao Ta said: "Yuan Nu doesn't want me to go over to see her?" ”

The little maid hurriedly shook her head: "Where is it, the lady looks forward to the prince day and night, and her eyes are red every day." ”

Zhao Ta nodded and went out with his hands in his hands.

Zhou Chu and Wu Xiaodao rushed to the car, Zhao Ta let Lang Yu also enter the carriage, seeing that she was nervous, she couldn't help but speak softly: "Born delicate, the name is appropriate, which one is given?" ”

Lang Yu blushed when he heard this, and didn't dare to raise his head, and whispered: "Back to the prince, it was the lady who started it." ”

Zhao Ta said: "Where is the origin of Yuannu?" ”

Lang Yu said: "This slave knows that the lady is from Yangzhou. ”

"Yangzhou?" Zhao Ta let out a light sigh: "Wrap 100,000 yuan around your waist, ride a crane down to Yangzhou, it's a good place." ”

Lang Yu said curiously: "Has the prince been to Yangzhou?" ”

Zhao Ta shook his head: "Which scholar doesn't want to go to Yangzhou to see, fireworks in March, lonely sail far away, ten miles long street market, Yueming Bridge to see the gods, unfortunately, this king has not been there." ”

"Oh......" Lang Yu looked at Zhao Ta's kindness at this time, and the nervousness in his heart gradually disappeared, and he became bolder: "Then why doesn't the prince go to Yangzhou for a walk?" The lady left when she was seven or eight years old, and now she often sits by the south window in a daze, saying that she wants to go back and have a look. ”

Zhao Tayan's eyes were slightly empty when he heard this, and he suddenly smiled: "I will go in the future, Yangzhou will go, and Jiangnan will also go." ”

When Lang Yu heard Jiangnan, he was a little excited: "Lord Wang, I heard that Jiangnan has good scenery and good cultural customs, and many poems have written about it." ”

Zhao Ta said: "Self is good, how many years of accumulation of style, blessed with nature, people yearn for." ”

He looked at the envious look in his eyes, and said, "Where is your home?" ”

Lang Yu said in a low voice: "The slave's family is from Mizhi Village, Suizhou, Shaanxi Road. ”

"Rice fat?" Zhao Ta took a closer look at the little girl when she heard this, and saw that she had thin eyebrows and fine eyes, and she was quite handsome.

Shaanxi Road is the old name, later changed to Yongxing Military Road, Suizhou was once occupied by the Western Xia, Xining three years to recover, and since the Yuan Fu ten years later, and began to fight with the Western Xia repeatedly, the gains and losses are impermanent, so this place is constantly in war, the people live a difficult and difficult life.

Zhao Ta knew that this little girl must have been sold since she was a child, but she was probably lucky, she was sold to a place like Fanlou, which was still a little bright, and was sent to serve Zhao Yuannu, maybe Zhao Yuannu saw her cleverly and wanted to go.

"Lord Wang, it's rice fat ......," Lang Yu replied.

Zhao Ta stopped talking, closed his eyes slightly, and leaned on the carriage to recuperate.

Because the snow road was slippery, it took a long time for the carriage to reach the place where the little maid said, and it was already a little late in the day.

Zhao Ta got out of the car, and the little maid hurriedly went to open the courtyard door, and was about to shout to tell the lady to know that the prince was coming, but after thinking about how the identity of the prince could be revealed like this, she closed her mouth and asked Zhao Ta to enter the hospital, and then hurriedly ran to the house to deliver the letter.

Zhao Ta took a look at this courtyard, there are sycamore trees and plum trees, as well as stone tables and stone piers, very elegant, in the downtown such a place is every inch of land, Fan Lou sent Oiran and sent the courtyard, it is indeed willing to pay the capital.

He walked inside, and before he could reach the door, he saw a young girl come out of it.

The slender waist is in micro steps, the wrist is in the light yarn, the hand is like a soft wattle, the skin is like clotted fat, like a warm jade.

The eyebrows are like willows, the eyes are like water, implying a faint sadness, the green silk reaches the waist, a hairpin is rolled up, and the tassels are hung on it, swaying gently.

The small face is as pretty as a peach blossom in three springs, but it is as pure as the orchid of seven summers, delicate to the bones, and charming like a lotus.

The soft language is delicate, like the yellow warbler tactfully, and like the spring water trickle, the dingdong is wonderful.

The "prince ......" girl greeted the ceremony, it was Zhao Yuannu.

Zhao Ta nodded, looked at the jade man in person, and didn't know what to say for a while, so Lang Yu and Mei Niang came out to greet each other again.

Mei Niang said respectfully: "Please also ask the princess to sit in the house for a while, and the slave and maid will go outside to buy some fruits, and then go to the building to ask for wine and food, and come back to serve the princess." ”

Zhao Ta didn't eat dinner, so he said that it was okay, but said: "The wine must be light." ”

Mei Niang went out in response, but her footsteps were stagnant outside the courtyard gate, and she saw Zhou sitting next to the carriage and squeezing her eyebrows.

She remembered this bearded man, who almost made her half angry to death when she was outside the Fan Lou Accord, and this person was very hateful and hateful.

Thinking in his heart, Mei Niang gave him a roll of his eyes and was about to move on.

Zhou Chu jumped out of the car, stepped forward with a hippie smile and said, "Mei Niang, but go buy food for the prince?" ”

Mei Niang didn't want to pay attention to him, took two steps forward, and said around: "I know that you were kicked out by Fan Lou, like Ling's age, it's not easy to make a living, the crude self-refusal to do, and the easy may not use you, have you ever thought about the future?" ”

Mei Niang was angry when she heard this, she was not kicked out by Fan Lou, but she made a mistake last time, Fan Lou no longer used her to manage the Accord, and sent her here to serve the Oiran lady, and the wages on Fan Lou's side were also paid.

It's just that I didn't say what happened in the future, if the Oiran lady was included in the palace by the prince, I don't know if she would take her then, or go back to Fanlou.

But this is not to be kicked out without a livelihood, she stopped and said: "Dogs can't spit ivory out of their mouths." ”

Zhou said happily in the back: "Mei Niang, although you have no livelihood, but a certain position can be stable, I didn't lie to you last time, don't look at a certain is just a guard, but there is a military position on the body, it is a grade, and there is a lot of money every month, even if you are old, you have something to rely on." ”

Mei Niang was stunned when she heard this, and her face turned red in an instant, she is also a person in her thirties, and she has been in Fan Lou for many years, how can she not hear the meaning of Zhou Chu's words, and she feels more and more that this beard is extremely hateful, and she actually comes to take advantage of her at this moment.

"Phew, you don't have a good heart, don't use words to bully me!" After Mei Niang dropped a sentence, she only felt that her face was hotter, and she didn't look back, and left in a hurry.

Zhou Chu laughed, turned back to Wu Xiaodao and said, "I still don't believe it, my brother told her, brother, do I have any rank?" ”

Wu Xiaodao was also a little black in this paragraph, and immediately said: "Of course my brother has a rank, and my brother is a martial artist from the eighth grade!" ”

Zhou immediately shouted at Mei Niang's back: "Did you hear it, my brother has a good job......

Mei Niang's steps became faster and faster, only to feel that her heart was pounding, this beard was simply shameless, what did she want to do to her? Although she has been in Fanlou for half her life, it can be seen that she is used to being an elegant son, a literati and a writer, where is he so rude and direct.

What kind of job should be stable, old and dependent, so not ashamed, but ...... He actually has a rank, which is unexpected, but he is a guard for the prince, which is naturally different from those ordinary forbidden troops.

Some of the leaders and envoys of the forbidden army have no rank, that is, they are sent but have no rank, although they are also called officers, but they are not actually officials.

Even some battalion commanders have no rank, just military officers, which is called incompetence.

After all, Mei Niang has been in Fanlou for a long time, and there is no shortage of listening to some court officials' discussions, and she knows some things in this regard, and she can't help but beat even more at this moment, and her pace is even faster.

Zhao Ta entered the hall and got the jade to boil water to make tea, he looked at Zhao Yuannu and smiled: "Is the lady good this time?" ”

Zhao Yuannu didn't speak, just looked at him, suddenly his eyes turned red, and he didn't care about the identity of the prince, the difference between respect and inferiority, so he threw himself into Zhao Ta's arms and sobbed softly.

Zhao Ta only felt that the warm jade was warm and fragrant, and the breath was like an orchid, so he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, his body moved slightly, he wanted to dodge away but was a little stiff, and sighed and said, "Why is this so." ”

Zhao Yuannu choked up and said: "I, I thought about it later, I am afraid that the prince was not interested in me at all that night, but there are some things to do, and he is acting on the spot." ”

Zhao Tan smiled and stroked her hair with his hand: "It's not stupid." ”

Zhao Yuannu raised his little face and looked at Zhao Ta when he heard this: "After the slave family figured it out, they were so sad and heartbroken, I was afraid that I would never see the prince again in the future, and I would never ...... again."

Zhao Ta smiled: "I sent the tunes over, how can I still have these strange ideas." ”

Zhao Yuannu pressed his face tighter, and murmured: "The more this is the case, the more afraid the slave family is, the slave family has liked it at the first glance when they see the prince, and they don't know the identity of the prince at that time, if they know......"

Zhao Ta said: "Then I won't see this king?" ”

Zhao Yuannu's delicate body twisted: "I, I would rather think that the prince is a poor scholar, and the prince has also saved some softness, redeemed his own family, and went away with the prince, whether it is going up the mountain or into the village, or wandering in the lake and sea, they are all willing, without complaint or regret." ”

Zhao Ta shook his head and smiled: "You don't have to say such stupid things anymore, just be a poor scholar?" There are a few Liu Sanbian in the world who are so affectionate and righteous, most of them are rushing to the imperial examination to become officials, what mountains to go to, what water to enter, roll call outside the Donghua Gate, and catch sons-in-law under the gold list, how many will not be disappointed? ”

Zhao Yuannu muttered in a low voice: "Then I also admit it, only blame the fate for being bad." ”

After a while, Lang Yu brought tea, Zhao Ta sat down to drink tea, and Zhao Yuannu said: "The slave family will sing a tune to the prince." ”

Zhao Ta said: "What tune? ”

Zhao Yuannu said: "Are those tunes filled in by the prince good?" ”

Zhao Ta thought for a while: "Don't listen to those, sing something related to Yangzhou." ”

Zhao Yuannu's eyes narrowed into two crescents: "The prince knows that the slave family is from Yangzhou?" ”

Zhao Ta said with a smile: "Listen to what Langyu said, I don't know if you can play the tune over there, if you can, you can sing it in Yangzhou tune." ”

Zhao Yuannu nodded: "Yangzhou tune is good, just sing it to the prince." ”

Then Langyu went to the incense burner next to the piano platform to renew the incense piece, opened the piano cover, and tried the sound of the dong flute, Zhao Yuannu first blew a song of the bright moon night of the twenty bridges, and then the jade finger opened lightly, plucked the strings, and began to sing.

The singing is:

Down-and-out rivers and lakes carrying wine,

Chu's waist is slender and his palm is light.

Ten years of Yangzhou dream,

Won the name of Qinglou Bo Xing.

The voice is beautiful and tactful, poignant and melancholy, which makes people feel like they are in the scene, and they are in a trance in Yangzhou for ten years, and the fireworks are like a dream.

Zhao Ta couldn't help but admire: "Du Fanchuan doesn't like Yuan Weizhi, but it makes sense, although Du Fanchuan's Seven Uniques are hypocritical, but the realm is far from being comparable to Yuan Wei." ”

Zhao Yuannu pursed his lips and smiled: "If the prince likes it, the slave family will sing another poem by Du Sixun." ”

Zhao Ta thought to himself, Du Fanchuan's poem he only likes at home, but just now Zhao Yuannu played a tune, which is a pity.

I saw Zhao Yuannu start the yaoqin again and sing softly:

More than thirteen of them,

Cardamom tips head in early February.

Spring Breeze Ten Mile Yangzhou Road,

It's better to roll up a beaded curtain.

I have to say that even if Zhao Ta has heard a lot of tunes, including Song Yinzhang's singing, which is known as everyone's song in the Teaching Workshop Division, it is not as beautiful as Zhao Yuannu is now.

But think about it, the Oiran who is as famous as Master Li is not beautiful, the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and flowers, you have to be proficient in everything, and you have to have at least one outstanding and overwhelming everyone, otherwise why become an Oiran?

Then, Zhao Yuannu sang another song, and then Mei Niang came back, carrying a big food box.

Seeing this, Zhao Ta nodded secretly, usually this kind of wine and food that is not sold out of the restaurant, the restaurant will send someone to send it, but there is no one at the moment, which means that Mei Niang has not leaked the news that she is here.

As the head of the seventy-two main stores in Tokyo, Fan Lou is proficient in all kinds of rules for receiving and entertaining guests, especially the various taboos of princes and nobles, and high-ranking families.

Mei Niang and Lang Yu put the wine and food on the table, and Zhao Ta suddenly said: "Go outside and tell Zhou, change someone to go back to eat and drink, and how to assign him to be the master." ”

Zhao Yuannu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he secretly thought in his heart, doesn't the prince want to ......

Mei Niang looked at the jade at this time, she didn't want to see the big beard, when she came back just now, the bearded man also said that there would be some leftovers from the prince later, he was hungry, this fool, how can he think of it!

Lang Yu was pouring wine at this time, and she didn't see Mei Niang's face, Mei Niang stopped for a while, and then had to go out by herself.

Zhao Ta and the two of them drank, although it was a light drink, but the more they drank, they were a little drunk, Zhao Yuannu went to play the piano again, and sang songs one after another, Zhao Ta ordered some of the former dynasty Yuefu, but he didn't realize that the time was very late.

At this time, Mei Niang went to boil water, Zhao Yuannu looked at Zhao Tan, and was shy: "The prince is tired for a day, so it's ......good to let Yuannu serve the prince to bathe."

"Huh?" Zhao Ta put down the wine glass, thought slightly, and then said with a smile: "It's okay, this king won't leave tonight!" ”

Zhao Yuannu immediately frowned, stood up and said, "Then the slave family will go and prepare." ”

Zhao Ta watched her slender and graceful figure leave, and his heart relaxed for no reason, how long had he not been so relaxed, he couldn't remember it clearly......

The red candle shakes, the golden hook is lightly placed, the curtain is ecstatic, and the swallow whispers.

"Yuannu, this king still wants to listen to a tune."

"Who do you want to hear? Is it still Du Sixun's? ”

"Hmm...... Yes, this king thinks that Du Fanchuan also has a poem that is quite good, which is also related to Yangzhou. ”

"Lord, which one is it?"

"It's the one that sent Yangzhou Han ......"

"Lord Wang...... The slave family knew. ”

After a moment, the singing voice was tactful and the voice was graceful, and Zhao Yuannu sang:

The green mountains are hidden in the water,

At the end of autumn, the grass in the south of the Yangtze River has not withered.

Twenty-four bridges on a moonlit night,

……
