The sound of the piano starts at a moment's notice, and the sound of the flute comes slowly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe sound of the piano just now is simple and profound, and now for some reason, with the sound of this long flute, the sound of the piano is high and low, sometimes urgent and sometimes slow, and the sound of the song is psychic, which means a long time. The sound of the piano and the sound of the flute overlap together, like an autumn drizzle, endlessly. Listening closely, it is as if you hear the autumn raindrops on the houses, the masonry, the clothes of the people, and the gentle walking, whispering, and sighing of pedestrians.

At the end of the song, everyone present looked at Shangguan Yunying and Zhuge Qinglin with strange eyes. For a while, the lobby on the second floor was silent.

Zhao Yushan seemed to hear a deeper sigh from his heart.

After a long time, Chu Jinglian smiled and said, "Shangguan Gongzi, I'm not talking about you. This humility requires a degree. With such a leisurely skill as yours to relieve boredom, wouldn't it make the performing arts master of the Jade Phoenix Terrace drink the northwest wind?"

Shangguan Yunying's face was slightly red, and he said embarrassedly: "Brother Chu said that he laughed. ”

Chu Jinglian said to Zhuge Qinglin again: "Don't hide it from Miss Zhuge before, I only knew that Miss Zhao's piano skills were the best in Yangzhou City. I don't want Miss Zhuge to have a better piano sound. There is also a reluctant invitation below, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?"

Zhuge Qinglin nodded slightly, and said, "Outside the Chu Yuan, please speak in person." ”

Chu Jinglian said: "Although I don't know the art of strings, I also know a little about the sound of the piano. Today's song 'Qiu Ming' by Zhuge girl and Shangguan Gongzi opened my ears to the next world. I want to give this 'Jiaoweiqin' and this jade flute to the two of you, I don't know what the two of you think?"

When Zhuge Qinglin heard this, he couldn't help but be moved, and said: "A gentleman doesn't take away the beauty of people. I'm not a gentleman, but I know a little about etiquette. When you and I meet for the first time, how can we receive such a precious thing? I appreciate Your Excellency's kindness, and I forgive the little woman for not accepting it. ”

Shangguan Yunying agreed: "Miss Zhuge is right. This flute is a precious treasure treasured by Brother Chu. When you meet for the first time, how can you be in vain. I can't accept this jade flute. ”

Chu Jinglian said: "It is a great fate that I can get acquainted with all the gentlemen. The ensemble of Zhuge girl and Shangguan Gongzi is as inelegant as the sound of heaven. Although I have found a skilled craftsman to make these instruments and flutes, what is the use of them if I can't meet their true owners? If this Jiaowei qin and jade flute are placed here with me, they will only increase the years and decay for a lifetime. Since the two of them dislike it, then it is better for me to smash them than to let them work for the rest of their lives. After speaking, he picked up the guqin and jade flute, and made a gesture to throw it downstairs.

Shangguan Yunying suddenly said, "Brother Chu, slow down. ”

Chu Jinglian stopped when he heard this.

Shangguan Yunying glanced at Zhuge Qinglin and said, "Brother Chu, if we destroy this qin and jade flute today, I really can't afford this sin. ”

Zhuge Qinglin also glanced at Shangguan Yunying, and stopped talking.

Zhou Zijian smiled and said: "Rouge powder is given to beauties, and swords are given to heroes." Since Chu Yuanwai is so sincere, the two of them should accept it. Besides, you don't think you're the kind of person who puts on a show. ”

Zhuge Qinglin pondered for a long time and said, "This gift is really valuable. But I don't know how to repay Chu Yuanwai's hospitality after I accept it. ”

Chu Jinglian put the qin and flute back on Zhuge Qinglin and Shangguan Yunying's table, and then returned to his seat.

Chu Jinglian said: "Miss Zhuge is wrong. If the girl thinks that I, Chu Jinglian, gave this thing as a reward for the two of them, then the two of them are ashamed. If you are not a real bosom friend, you will give me ten thousand taels of gold, and you will not want to take these two things. I give these two treasures to you out of sincerity, and you must not think about it. If you really don't want to go, on the day he is in trouble, when he asks for the two, the two of them should not forget the love of this gift. ”

Shangguan Yunying arched his hand and said: "If Brother Chu has a place where he can use his younger brother, the younger brother will definitely help him and will never shirk." ”

Zhuge Qinglin also arched his hand and nodded.

Chu Jinglian looked at Zhou Zijian on the side and said, "Brother Zhou is also very honored to come here this time. I heard that Brother Zhou guessed the answer to a riddle, can you let me take a look?"

Zhou Zijian took out a note from his body and handed it to Chu Jinglian. This is a riddle that he casually copied when he entered Yangzhou City and came to the gate of Yuhuangtai. The note reads: The green grass is kissed by the rain, the day and night alternate as the road, the Pangu god expands the world, and the sky shines on the sky. Hit a solar term.

Chu Jinglian glanced at the note, raised his head and asked, "I don't know what the riddle Brother Zhou guessed is?"

Zhou Zijian smiled and said, "Green grass should be a green word." By the rain, add a water next to the blue word, which is the clear word of clear water. The alternation of day and night refers to the day and the moon, which together should be a clear word. Pangu God Weituo Heaven and Earth, refers to the turbidity that sank into the earth after Pangu opened the world, and the clear air rose to the sky. And in the end, the clear sky in the world indicates that the sky is clear and bright. So the mystery is the Qingming Festival. ”

Chu Jinglian's eyes couldn't help but light up, and the folding fan in his hand subconsciously tapped it in the air, and said, "Brother Zhou's talent, I admire it." ”

Zhao Yushan saw Zhou Zijian's sloppy appearance just now, and he looked down on him a little. At this moment, seeing Zhou Zijian talking eloquently, my impression of Zhou Zijian has changed a lot: I only think that this young swordsman is just a rough man, but I didn't expect that there are still a few points of ink in my chest.

Zhou Zijian waved his hand and said: "Brother Chu has a good reputation, and he really doesn't dare to be in the future." I'm just pretty coarse, and I don't think it's hard to guess. However, the person who came up with this riddle seems to be a little bolder. ”

Chu Jinglian looked at Zhao Yushan, then at Zhou Zijian, and asked, "How do you say this?"

Zhou Zijian said: "This clear word is not something that anyone or no one dares to use, and there is a clear word behind it." Although Qingming Festival is an important festival, I have always been taboo about the word 'Qingming'. Publicly used as a riddle, the person who wrote this riddle, do you think he is bold?"

Chu Jinglian smiled slightly, diverted the topic and said, "Since Brother Zhou answered the riddle correctly, I don't know what you want Miss Zhao to reward for?"

Zhou Zijian thought for a while and said, "The riddle is just a whim for me, and I don't need Miss Zhao to do anything." But since Brother Chu mentioned it, I would like to ask, where is Brother Chu from, where did he make his fortune, and why is he able to come and go freely in and out of this Jade Phoenix Platform today?"
