For a thousand taels of silver, Zhang Wen ordered a "oleander" song "Farewell", which was very popular at this time. He confidently waited for Liu Zihua to sing his own tune, because it was impossible for anyone to be as tall as he was, and it was really unprecedented to spend a thousand taels of silver to order a tune. (It's equivalent to spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to listen to a song in 600 years.) ）

Not long after, Liu Zihua began to sing the third tune, and the title of the song was reported, which was really "Farewell by Lu Wenliang". Lu Wenliang is the pseudonym that Zhang Wen thinks of himself.

With such a price of music, Zhang Wen listened attentively with some pain. Well, it's not bad, Liu Zihua's acting talent is there, but he didn't completely wronged the money. She is accompanied by the sound of the pipa, her beautiful eyes are affectionate, her expression is vivid, and the scene of "the hostess laments that she is thin, her rival is thick with bricks, and the kiln brother persuades her to appease her" in the song, with just the right tone and expression, which makes people feel as if they are in the scene, and the picture is very strong.

"Send a lover, go straight to Wuxi Road, call a kiln burner my brother, how can the kiln burn two goods? The bricks are so thick, the tiles are so thin, the thick ones are others, and the thin ones are me. Persuade the Jun family, Hugh put the gas of the kiln. The bricks are thick, the tiles are thin, and they are always the same mud. Waer is more expensive than bricks, bricks kick in the ground, and Waer has your head on you. It's someone else who kicks it, but it's you who is on top of your head......"

Nowadays, the public likes this kind of music, and the affection is long, elegant and vulgar, and there is a burst of applause in the hall after singing, and many people applaud loudly.

After singing the three songs, Liu Zihua made a shy expression, gave a salute, and said with low eyebrows: "Thank you to the slave family, the slave family is a little tired, everyone will come back tomorrow, the slave family is waiting for you here...... Today, there is an official surnamed Lu who has a total of 1,100 taels of three songs to fund the slave family, and the official is so loving that the slave family is really a little unhappy in their hearts, so they invite this official to the slave's room, and the slave family will play and sing a song for you alone to express gratitude. ”

Zhang Wen smiled when he heard this, turned back to the silk robe buddy and said, "I'm going to say goodbye here, haha." ”

The man in the silk robe was full of envy and jealousy, and said with a dry smile unpleasantly: "Congratulations to Gongzi Lu, alas, I will also get some silver to try it tomorrow......"

After Liu Zihua withdrew, the commotion in the hall began to disperse, some scolded, some sighed, and some coveted only envy. There is a lot of business in Manxi Building, and Liu Zihua has made great contributions to the building.

The two slaves who had received the money came upstairs, bowed and said, "Young Master Lu, please come with the little one, Miss Liu is waiting for you." ”

Zhang Wen waved his hand to Cao An and asked him to go back first, and then took Xuan Yue and the two guards to follow the slave downstairs. With Zhang Wen's identity, he usually has guards with him, but after a while, when he enters Liu Zihua's room, Xuan Yue and the others can only be outside.

This pavilion is similar to the layout of other green buildings, it is also a large pavilion outside, the middle is arranged into a hall, the upstairs rooms on both sides of the hall are made into a lounge, a place to drink tea and chat, drink a little wine and listen to music, pass through the pavilion in front, and the courtyard inside is a place to celebrate the Spring Festival. Zhang Wen followed the slave who led the way, and kept going inside, and when he entered the third place, it was even quieter inside, and he wanted to come here to be a more upscale place.

Zhang Wen finally arrived at Liu Zihua's room, and asked the servant who led the way to arrange for Xuan Yue and the others to rest in the next room and prepare to go in by themselves. He turned back and said to the servant, "Go and tell you who are in charge, and send me the set of things used by the Four Treasures of the Study and Danqing." ”

The servant bent down and said with a smile: "Okay, Gongzi Lu really has the elegance of Tang Bohu, you wait a minute, the little ones will go and get it." Lu Gongzi, do you need anything else? ”

"That's it for now, I'll remember to call you later." Zhang Wen reached into his sleeve and touched it, and the eyes of the two slaves suddenly lit up, and they stood there waiting, without any intention of leaving.

Zhang Wen smiled, took out two pieces of broken silver and threw them over. The two slaves were immediately overjoyed, and the ones who usually rewarded them were all copper guys, and now they got white, and it was also luck, and they happened to meet the winning lord on the plate.

Zhang Wen walked into the room, with a faint fragrance in the room, the decoration was really elegant and refreshing, no different from what was said in the gossip, this Liu Zihua really has some taste and taste.

He didn't go directly around the screen to enter, but just sat down at a table and looked up at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall. After a while, Liu Zihua walked in from outside, with two maids with him, and when he saw Zhang Wen, he first showed a surprised expression, and then calmly said: "The slave family came down from the stage, just removed his makeup, neglected Lu Gongzi, and invited Haihan." ”

Zhang Wen smiled, stood up, and arched his hand: "Where, I just arrived." While speaking, he looked at Liu Zihua nearby, and saw his face, sure enough, he was a little older, and he no longer had the charm of a girl, but the maturity and elegance revealed between the feet also made Zhang Wen very satisfied.

Although Liu Zihua is a girl from the Qinglou, her demeanor is not ambiguous at all, and she does not feel frivolous at all, she pointed to the chair and said, "Don't stand still, Gongzi Lu, please sit." The slave family just heard from the slave that Gongzi Lu wanted to take Danqing utensils, and Gongzi must have some attainments in calligraphy and painting. ”

Zhang Wen didn't have much leisure to chat with a girl from Qinglou who he didn't know, he just wanted to paint a self-portrait of Liu Zihua to satisfy his addiction to painting, but he didn't know if Liu Zihua was willing to let him paint.

Zhang asked: "That's the case, I have a preference, I like to paint beautiful women, because I haven't started writing for a long time, my hands itch badly, and it just so happened that I met Miss Liu today who is elegant and beautiful, so I was a little anxious." I was afraid that Miss Liu didn't want her appearance to spread out, so I asked this question. ”

Liu Zihua felt another turn after listening to it, from the initial amazement; later disdain; Now I have an indescribable feeling, is it appreciation, or self-pity? Zhang Wen wants to paint wholeheartedly, which makes people feel cold.

Liu Zihua looked at Zhang Wen, and saw that he was long, sitting in a chic posture, and he had a calm and confident look, unlike a businessman, he must be a person with status. He observed the face of this question, and suddenly covered his mouth and sighed, "You...... Are you asking Mr. Zhang? ”

This time it was Zhang Wen's turn to be surprised, he looked at Liu Zihua and wondered, "Do we know each other, have you seen me?" ”

Liu Zihua's attitude suddenly changed, he almost forgot his politeness, and said very excitedly: "Really...... Is it really you? The concubine thought, who can have the appearance of Lord Zhang? I didn't expect it to be you, the concubine is ......" Liu Zihua was so excited that he was almost speechless.

Zhang Wen was stunned. Liu Zihua hurriedly said again: "You don't know, you are on Qin Huai's side...... Not to mention how famous. Many people wish they could see you! ”

The more Liu Zihua talked, the more excited he became, and even a little carried away, throwing away the awkward etiquette, Liu Zihua continued: "I really didn't expect that I actually met Zhang Wen today!" If I say it, I'm going to die of envy! By the way, and your story, do you have a cousin Xiaojuan, the infatuated Zhang Wen dared to challenge the entire imperial court for her......" Liu Zihua's face changed suddenly, realizing that he had lost his words, and hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say this ......"

Zhang Wen shook his head and said, "It's all in the past, just don't mention it again." I didn't know that such a thing could spread so much, even people who had never known each other knew it. ”

Liu Zihua took a breath and patted his chest gently, as if to say that I couldn't breathe anymore! She didn't stop, and said: "There is a bit of elegance in Shilin, and the Hongchen sisters have to worry about it, not to mention the stories of your sincere feelings?" I heard that there is a top brand in Zhejiang, called Hanyan Girl......" Liu Zihua said, and his face turned red here.

Liu Zihua saw that Zhang Wen was a little stunned, so he found the topic and said: "Master Zhang just ordered that tune, there is another version, have you ever heard it?" ”

"Oh?" Zhang Wen's stunned expression suddenly became a little angry, after all, he was a literati, and he was somewhat interested in these elegant and popular cultures, and it happened that this dusty woman was well-informed, so Zhang Wen became interested, and couldn't help asking, "What other version?" ”

Liu Zihua smiled lightly, her long eyelashes fluttered, her eyes were bent into a moon shape and it was very cute, and two small dimples suddenly appeared on her pink face, and she smiled: "My lord is a talented Shilin person, I must have heard of Feng Menglong." ”

Zhang Wen nodded: "I have heard a little, this person is a person from Nanzhili, and his reputation is not small, but unfortunately his talent is used to write history and romance, and it seems that he has no fame." ”

"The song "Farewell" ordered by adults is popular in Beijing, but on Qin Huai's side, Feng Menglong's adapted version is already popular. Why don't you sing it to adults? ”

Zhang Wen said with a smile: "Miss Liu sings a song for a few hundred taels of silver, and I don't have that much on me." ”

Liu Zihua bowed his head and said: "The slave family sings for the adult alone, and if he is willing, he can't accept the adult's silver." "Let's go into the warm pavilion and take out the pipa, and adjust the string sound. Zhang Wen also changed his comfortable posture and listened to her singing with great anticipation.

After a while, Liu Zihua sang with the pipa: "Kiln burner, teach me how not to be angry." The bricks are thick, the tiles are thin, and they are the same mud, so I make bricks and I make tiles, not unintentionally. And he put his head on me, and he stood out from the wind and rain with thee, and what loss did he who kicked? The top of the head is the void, and the kicking is real. Persuade Yi again, Hugh burns the gas of the kiln. The bricks are thick, the tiles are thin, who doesn't say the same mud, thick with him, thin with you, I have my own idea, wear you, several storms and rains you cover, kick him, don't let anyone throw him to beat you. Although I get along with you thinly and have a long relationship, he can't catch up with you when he kills you. ”

Her expression and voice corresponded to the meaning of the words, very playful, and Zhang Wen was also amused, and she smiled from ear to ear. He was in a happy mood, and couldn't help but say: "I didn't expect Feng Menglong to be witty and write such words; Miss Liu is also versatile and performs realistically. If Feng Menglong heard that the words he wrote could be sung so well, he might be so happy. ”

"Lord Xie of the slave family praises, the slave family can't do anything else, but he sings a lot, practice makes perfect."

Zhang Wen praised sincerely: "It's rare to have a good voice and a delicate heart." ”

Liu Zihua was so happy when he saw that Zhang Wen was not so stunned, and said: "This Feng Menglong that the adult said is also a talented person, he has made many literati, musicians, and painters, and the adult likes Danqing, if you can make friends with him, you may be able to find someone with similar interests." ”

Zhang Wen casually agreed, what kind of person is Feng Menglong, but he is just a down-and-out scholar in the field, and he has a fight with Tang Bohu back then, and he has no political future. What Danqing lyrics and songs are just an adjustment for Zhang Wen, what he values most is his career.

At this time, Liu Zihua said: "Mr. Feng said that they are running a thing called 'Renaissance', which was transmitted from the West, saying that it can make the Ming Dynasty more enlightened and prosperous through piano, chess, calligraphy and painting." ”

Zhang Wen was stunned: "Qinqi, calligraphy and painting? Let Daming be more enlightened and prosperous? Can these things have anything to do with the court? ”

Liu Zihua shook his head and said: "The slave family also heard what the sisters said, we don't know much about the government and politics, and we don't dare to talk about it." Mr. Feng is a person of merit and fame who can care about the government and politics. He said that he was not a decadent prodigal, but rather an active pursuit. ”

Zhang asked curiously, and muttered: "Feng Menglong, this person is a bit interesting, if I have the opportunity, I would like to meet him." ”
