In the morning, the air in Suzhou is still very fresh.

In the attic of a secret courtyard in the west of the city, a group of people such as Du Buyi and the owner of the courtyard were standing.

At this time, the rich gentleman who had just gone upstairs said to Du Buzhi:

"Do you want to buy a piano?"

Du did not forget and hurriedly stepped forward and replied:

"yes".

Then he picked up the guqin and said to the master:

"I don't know the master's surname, I have taken a fancy to this piano."

The rich gentleman replied:

"The old man's surname is Wang, his name is Ao, and the son really has a good eye, and he actually fell in love with my favorite piano."

At this time, Li Fuxing hurriedly saluted, and said to the rich gentry master:

"Could it be that you are the former Hubu Shangshu and the university scholar Wang Ao"?

Wang Ao sighed, and immediately waved his hand at Li Fuxing with a smile and said:

"Without mentioning the past, without mentioning the past, I am now just a businessman."

At this time, Zhu Er stepped forward and asked:

"Senior Wang, forgive me for taking the liberty of asking, it seems that you loved these guqins very much before, why did you sell him again."

Wang Ao looked at Zhu Er, and suddenly felt very familiar, even like a person he had often seen when he lectured in the palace before, so he replied:

"Recently, business is not good, the Ming Dynasty is chaotic, the household is short of money, my friend borrowed money from me to turn over military expenses, I thought that I was old, and it was useless to ask for these things, so I planned to sell them all, and the military expenses for the court turnover were also the only little bit of strength that I could make for the court for many years."

Then he changed the topic, pointed at Zhu Er and said:

"I remember, this brother is like a little prince I used to see in the palace, but he was younger than you at that time."

When Zhu Er saw Wang Ao say this, he must have seen his father when he was a child, so he bowed to Wang Ao and replied respectfully:

"Don't hide it from you, Mr. Wang, Zhu Houxi, the son of Zhu Youqi, the king of Xiao Wang, Mr., what you saw before must have been my father's childhood."

Wang Ao hurriedly hugged the little prince Zhu Houxi, who was about to worship again, and said:

"The little prince is really tormenting the old man, it should be me saluting you, you are a royal prince and nobleman, this is unacceptable."

Zhu Er greeted Wang Ao.

After a while, Wang Ao reacted, and everyone on the side was waiting to buy the piano, so he asked Du Yifu:

"This little brother, do you really like my piano"?

Zhu Er didn't forget to say for Du:

"Of course, he's my big brother."

Wang Ao stroked his beard and said with a smile:

"I see, this piano is the most expensive one I have here, and it turned out to be the little prince's brother, so I'll give it to him."

Zhu Er hurriedly said:

"Thank you so much, Mr. Wang."

On the side, Du Yi also continued:

"Thank you, Senior Wang, but how can I take your piano for nothing."

After speaking, he took out two gold ingots from his baggage and put them on the table.

Seeing this, Wang Ao naturally didn't want to accept it, so he asked the shopkeeper to not forget it.

Du Yi didn't forget to say:

"It turned out that the predecessor of the king was sold and donated to the court as a military salary, so why don't I also do my best for the court?"

Wang Ao saw that Du didn't forget to insist on doing so, so he had to happily accept the gold ingot.

After a while, Du Yi and a few people said goodbye to Wang Ao, and hurried back to the inn to practice.

When Du Bucheng and a few people returned to the inn, Liu Shuzhen and Zhu Sanmei were not interested in the piano, so the two went out shopping to buy things, and Li Fuxing was gone, leaving only Zhu Er to teach Du Buyi to learn the piano.

Du didn't forget to learn the piano for the first time, on the contrary, he couldn't learn anything, Zhu Er taught for a while, lost his patience, and went out.

Du did not forget to learn by himself, and tried to play the mountains and rivers taught by Zhu Er before.

But I always felt that the tune popped up, which was completely inconsistent with the artistic conception of mountains and flowing water, and after a while, I was so anxious that my fingers were blistered.

I had to stop and look for Zhu Er again,

Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out in a hurry, Zhu Er also came, the two didn't pay attention, their foreheads collided together, and after a while, the two of them had a big bag on their foreheads.

Zhu Er spoke first:

"It's past noon now, it's time to go out to eat, just now the innkeeper came up to the third sister to give them a letter, saying that the three of them are now waiting for us in the Yuelai Restaurant in the city."

Du did not forget to listen to the second brother Zhu Er say that it was past noon, and it was time to eat, only to find that he was really hungry, so he had to go to Yuelai Restaurant with Zhu Er and the others to find the third sister and them for dinner.

After a while, the two came to the restaurant, and saw that the third sister upstairs, Liu Shuzhen and Li Fuxing were all waiting on their seats, and the meals were full, very rich.

After all, for a few days, several people hadn't gotten together for a big meal, and everyone drank and ate to their heart's content.

Just when the meal was full, there was a burst of cheerful piano sound from the restaurant compartment, and I saw that the sound of the piano flowed endlessly like flowing water, sometimes echoing, sometimes tilting, very pleasant.

Zhu Er said to Du Yiyi:

"Big brother, isn't this exactly what I taught you before?"

Du did not forget and replied excitedly:

"Exactly, why can't I play this artistic conception."

Zhu Er said again:

"This must be a piano master."

After a while, the sound of the piano entered the ** section, like a waterfall constantly pouring from the cliff, and everyone at the dinner table was attracted by the sound of the piano for a while, and stopped the food in their hands.

When the waterfall was over and the sound of the piano stopped, a few people came to their senses.

At this time, everyone was amazed, especially Li Fuxing on the side said:

"This mountain and flowing water has been popped up so naturally, I must get to know this Mr. Piano."

After saying that, he got up and walked to the cubicle, and several people immediately followed.

When I came to the door, I found that it was empty.

Du did not forget to call the shopkeeper and asked:

"Do you know who the person who played the piano just now is?"

The shopkeeper replied:

"It's also a guest, just now the two of them came in, played the piano for a while, gave me some broken silver, and left, I don't know."

Then he touched his head again and continued:

"When he seemed to break the silver for me, he said something that I forgot for a while."

At this time, Li Fuxing was a little anxious to mention the second shopkeeper through his sleeves, and asked again:

"Hurry up and think, what did he say?"

Du Buyi and Zhu Er hurriedly persuaded Li Fuxing to put Xiao Er down.

Xiao Er was taken aback by Li Fuxing, but remembered that the person who had just played the piano had left a message, so he said to Li Fuxing with helpless eyes:

"It seems to say that if someone asks, they will say that Liuzhuang of Taihu Lake in the west of the city, yes, it seems to be this sentence."

As soon as a few people heard this, Zhu Er first said:

"It seems that this master must have deliberately invited a few of us to Liuzhuang."

A few people went downstairs directly, borrowed a few horses from the city, and went to Liuzhuang.

Liu Shuzhen didn't know how to ride a horse, so she was led by Zhu Sanmei, Du didn't forget to go through the last Xiangyang Ancient Road and immediately thrilled, but the riding skills have grown a lot, and the other two have been taught since childhood, and riding skills are needless to say.

After a while, a few people inquired and arrived at Liuzhuang by Taihu Lake, only to see that the lake water here is crystal clear, and the willows are shady by the lake.

Leaning against the lake, in front of the gate of a courtyard hangs a rather poetic door plaque, on which the two big characters 'Liuzhuang' are written in thin gold font.

They dismounted and went to knock at the door.
