The carriage stopped in front of Luoyufang again, but my mood was quite different. This time I stepped into Luoyufang as the owner of the garden. When I first learned about Shen Xing's arrangement in the morning, I even doubted whether Shen Xing was deliberately teasing me, but from his unchanging expression, I couldn't see any malice. Seeing me staring at Shen Xing, Master Jiu smiled and said, "Don't worry! Old Wu suggested this to Shen Xing. He must have informed Hong Gu and won't embarrass you." Then he said to Shen Xing: "Old Wu Over the past few years, the Loach Kung Fu has become better and better."

Shen Xing just owed his body, but Jin Yan looked quite angry, Amaterasu said slowly while drinking tea: "It's been hard for him these past few years, full of pain but can't tell." I was still thinking about what happened in the morning, but Master Wu's entourage had already stepped forward and knocked on the door.The door opened immediately, and Aunt Hong was dressed up, smiling like a flower, and greeted Master Wu and me.I quickly walked a few steps and helped her up: "Gu Hong won't blame me, will she? I really didn't expect this to happen." Hong Gu smiled and said, "I'm not that foolish person, now I can still stand in Chang'an City dressed in fancy clothes, what can I complain about?"

Master Wu said: "From now on, the two of you will support each other to take care of the garden, and I have to visit other shops, so I will go first." After speaking, he took people away. Honggu led me to the back garden where I live in daily life first: "I tidied up the yard closest to me. There are always accidents happening in the garden. Sometimes you have a place to rest when you can't make it back to Shifu. Look back and see what is missing, and you can tell me." I nodded in thanks. After we entered the house, Aunt Hong pointed to a pile of bamboo slips on the table: "Yuanzi's accounts from last year are all here." I asked, "Sister Shuangshuang has already left?"

Honggu sighed, and sat on the couch: "Let's go, not only she's gone, Linglong, who was close to her, also went with her. Xiaoyu, the burden on your shoulders is not light! To be honest, I heard Master Wu say that you If you want to come, I am very happy in private, thinking that anyway, you are the person arranged by the master of the boat, so I have found a big tree to rely on." I'm only now able to figure out what Master Jiu meant in the morning when he said that Old Wu was a loach. Dare I not only solve a problem for him, but also clean up the mess for him, or is he trying to drag Shen Xing and them into the mud?Master Jiu has the intention of letting the business of the singing and dancing studio run its own course. Old Wu wants to use me to reverse the decline in the business of the singing and dancing hall. He certainly doesn't think that I have any ability as a little girl. What he values ​​is the relationship between me and Master Jiu. relation.

I'm afraid the result will disappoint him, Master Jiu made it clear that he treats this as a game and let me play.However, Lao Wu and I have the same ultimate goal, to make Shifang better, so that we can "use" each other. "...Shuangshuang and Linglong are gone, and the other girls are average, not popular. Fang Ru is a bit interesting, but her heart has never been on it, she has no heart in singing and dancing, and her skills are limited. We just live like this, and we can live Yes, but I reckon your mind is definitely not just earning food and clothing, in your opinion, what should you do in the future?"

I hurriedly withdrew my mind, thought for a while and said: "Fang Ru's matter is not too difficult, let her die and survive, and give her a strong medicine! Let her come to see me." Hong Gu gave me a surprised look , raised his voice to call the maidservant to come in, and ordered Fang Ru to be invited. "As for the others, I can't be in a hurry for a while. One is slowly looking for some neat girls and spending time training them. The other is that kabuki, which is completely attracted by skills, is limited. Please, the rest of the people just need to use various external forces to make up for their deficiencies. We might as well put more effort into this external force. Thinking about what others have not thought about and saying what others have not said will naturally win everyone's attention. It's ringing, are you afraid that famous artists won't be able to invite you?"

Hong Gu thought about it quietly for a while: "The truths you said are all good, but this 'think about what others have not thought about, and say what others have not said, is easier said than done." I pointed to myself, and then to Honggu: "This is up to us. In the past two days, you will accompany me to other song and dance halls in private, and tell me about the rules here. , the two planners can always come up with something." Aunt Hong was infected by me, and she lifted her spirits: "It makes sense, I used to only focus on the top girls, but I didn't work hard on these places..."

Before Hong Gu finished speaking, Fang Ru called out softly, "Hong Gu, I'm here." Honggu said: "Come in!" Fang Ru came in to salute Hong Gu and me, I stood up and forced her to sit beside me, and said with a smile: "We are also destined, we entered the garden almost at the same time, and we learned art together." Fang Ru lowered her head and said nothing, and Hong Gu gave me a helpless expression.I said: "I know you don't want to stay here. Since I took over the garden today, I don't want to force you. If you want to go home, go home!" Fang Ru raised her head abruptly, staring at me with wide eyes, with an expression of disbelief.I said to Hong Gu who was stunned by the side: "Find out her deed of selling herself and return it to her. No matter how much the redemption money is, I will put it on my head first, and I will try to make it up."

Hong Gu was stunned for a while, then quickly jumped up to look for the deed of sale, and after a while, she came in with a piece of cloth and handed it to me.I scanned it and handed it to Fang Ru: "From now on, you have nothing to do with Luoyufang. You can go." Fang Ru took the cloth: "Why?" I smiled lightly: "Didn't I say that we are destined? Besides, I don't want to pay attention to people who are not here in my garden." Fang Ru looked at Hong Gu and asked tearfully, "Can I really go?" Hong Gu said: "The deed of sale is in your hands, of course you can leave."

Fang Ru knelt down and kowtowed to me, and I quickly helped her up: "Fang Ru, if you need me for anything in the future, just come to me, we are sisters after all." Fang Ru nodded vigorously, clutching her contract of sale tightly, and trotted out of the house. Honggu sighed: "Since I entered the garden, I haven't seen her walk so briskly." I also sighed lightly. Hong Gu asked, "Are you sure she will come back?" I shook my head and said, "Is there anything in the world that is absolutely sure? As long as half of it is worth our efforts, let alone there is a 70% to 80% chance of this matter."

Hong Gu smiled and said: "I will not underwrite my accounts. The buyer's money, the money spent by the master in the past few months, the money spent on food and clothing, always have to be doubled." I cried out with a headache: "I haven't made any money yet, and I'm in debt. Alas! Alas! Money, money, thinking about you makes my heart ache." Hong Gu smiled gloatingly: "I don't know if your heart hurts or not. But later, you must have a place that hurts." I saw her staring at my ears, quickly covered her ears with both hands, stepped back, and looked at her warily.Honggu shrugged her shoulders: "It's not my fault. You had already escaped, but you bumped back. Since you eat this bowl of rice, you will be Yuanzi's face in the future, so naturally you can't escape." The wind is blowing, the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone.Thinking back when Dayu came through the house three times to control the floods but did not enter, I just sacrificed my ears. When I returned to the Bamboo Pavilion, I tiptoed into my room with my head buried, lit a lamp, and took a closer look in the bronze mirror.So ugly!No wonder when Uncle Shi saw me, his eyes were narrowed. I touched my ears lightly, and sighed slightly in my heart, my father never wanted me to be a flower maker, but now I am running a flower business.However, if what I do can dissipate a bit of the worry that Jiuye frowned slightly, then everything is worth it.If I could have had the thoughts I have now, if I could have helped my father to make suggestions, then everything... I shook my head suddenly, and said softly to myself in the mirror: "The dead cannot be chased, you have spent more than a thousand days and nights... Regret and sadness, it is time to forget and look forward. Didn’t Dad also say that the mistakes of the past are for the sake of not making the same mistakes again. You have grown up and can share the worries and sorrows of those you care about.” Hearing that Xiaofeng came to deliver the food, I, who used to rush forward when I smelled the food, was still kneeling and sitting on the couch. "Sister Yu, do you want to eat or not? Master Jiu can wait!" Xiaofeng whispered outside the door. I frowned: "You can bring me something to eat. I feel a little uncomfortable and want to eat alone in the house." Xiaofeng asked: "Are you sick? Let Jiu Ye take a look at it for you! My grandfather's illness is taken care of by Jiu Ye." I hurriedly said: "No, no, it's not a serious problem, just take a rest." I was a little surprised that Master Jiu actually knew medical skills. Xiaofeng muttered: "You girls just have a lot of problems, I'll bring them over later." I thought to myself, I will settle the score with you after my ears are healed, let’s forget about it for today. After dinner, I was thinking about how to manage the garden, when there were several knocks on the door.I was still deliberating in my mind, and said casually: "Come in." Immediately after I finished speaking, I felt that something was wrong, I was busy looking for something to wrap my head around, but I couldn't get it for a while, and Master Jiu had already turned the wheelchair and came in.I hurriedly covered my ears with both hands, the movement was too hasty, and I accidentally pulled the silk thread, causing me to inhale in pain. "Where is it uncomfortable? Is it because I don't have enough clothes and I'm cold?" Master Jiu looked at me and asked.I shook my head, he stared at me for a while, then suddenly laughed: "Aunt Hong pierced your ears?" I pouted and nodded. He laughed and said, "Take off your hand. Didn't Honggu tell you that you can't touch it with your hands for at least ten days or as many as twenty days? Otherwise, it will fester and it will be troublesome." I thought about Honggu's saying that the silk thread should be removed after the suppuration, and that the thread should be worn again after the ear is fully grown.Ignoring the question of beauty or not, I hurriedly took off my hand. Seeing my mournful expression, Master Jiu shook his head with a smile, and turned the wheelchair out of the room.After a while, he turned back with a small clay bottle on his lap: "This is a very strong wine that has been steamed repeatedly and stored for many years. It has a miraculous effect on preventing wounds from suppurating." As he spoke, he took a white linen cloth and dipped it in wine to motion me to turn his head.I knelt on the couch meekly, straightened up, and faced him sideways.His cold fingers gently slid over my earlobe, and touched my cheek vaguely. My ears and cheeks didn't feel cold, but they became hot. While helping me wipe the wine, he said, "I also had my ears pierced when I was young." I said in surprise: "What?" I turned my head to look at his ears. "Don't move around." He stretched out his hand to support my head, but when I turned my head, my lips just hit his palm. I was shocked in my heart, turned around quickly, and stared at my bed quietly with lowered eyes. The skirt on the couch. His hand paused in the air for a moment, then returned to normal, and quietly wiped my right ear: "That's all." I hurriedly turned around and faced him the other way.He kept following him, and continued the topic just now: "When I was young, my health was very poor. My mother heard people say that it would be easier to raise my ears if I followed girls' ears, so when I was five years old, my mother pierced my ears... …After wiping it off, remember to wipe it off every day before going to bed.” In order to get her ears pierced, Hong Gu deliberately made gnocchi on the cotton thread.I pointed to the two little gnocchi hanging on the earlobe: "Did you also wear such ugly things when you were young?" He pursed his lips and smiled: "In order to coax me, my mother specially dyed my face with color." I looked at him sympathetically, his one seemed to be more "eye-catching" than mine. He turned the wheelchair out of the house.I knelt quietly on the couch for a long time, then jumped up suddenly, stood on the couch and danced, spinning and spinning until my body went limp and fell on the quilt, my face was buried in the quilt and I laughed foolishly.When a wolf is very young, he has to learn to lick his wounds after being injured, but being taken care of by another person is such a warm feeling. If there is such warmth in being a human being, I would like to be a human being.Dad, Dad, I am very happy now! I buried my head in the quilt and giggled for a long time, turned over and sat up, picked up a silk handkerchief, leaned over the table and wrote: While eating at Yipinju, I suddenly heard beggars outside singing begging songs.Instead of beggars singing auspicious words as usual, they knocked on bamboo poles and sang what they had seen and heard along the way. The stories were ups and downs, fresh and interesting, which attracted people inside and out.The guests in Yipinju sat around the window to listen, Honggu and I were also attracted to stand in front of the window and listen carefully. After several songs were sung, everyone applauded loudly and gave out money one after another, which was several times more than the usual beggars.Honggu and I looked at each other, and both of us were touched.She turned her head and thought for a while: "Xiaoyu, they can tell stories with begging songs, can we also..." I nodded hastily: "The current singing and dancing in Chang'an City are all pure singing and dancing. If we can use singing and dancing to tell a story, it must be very attractive." As they spoke, both of them became excited, and they didn't even bother to eat. After paying the bill, I hurried back to the garden to discuss with the singing and dancing master. After more than a month of repeated discussions and deliberations, when the story was written and the melody was finished, and it was time to rehearse, Honggu suddenly hesitated.While flipping through the bamboo slips, she frowned and said, "Xiaoyu, do you really think this story is okay?" "Why not? Don't you think it's a very touching story? One is an incomparably noble princess, and the other is just her slave. The two went through hardships together and finally became a loving couple." "Although the name has been changed and the time has disappeared, any fool will understand that this is a story about General Wei and Princess Pingyang." "I just want everyone to understand! Otherwise, wouldn't our hard work be in vain? And the lyrics that cost a lot of money." "I understand what you mean. You want to use the story of General Wei and the princess who everyone in Chang'an City knows a little bit, but actually knows nothing, to attract everyone and satisfy everyone's curiosity. But one of them is The general who holds a heavy army, and one is the sister of today's emperor, have you thought about their reaction?" I lay down on the desk, picked a piece of snack and put it in my mouth. While chewing, I said, "How can I react? Because of his humble background, General Wei suffered a lot when he was young, so he is very sympathetic to the common people. Moreover, he is gentle, and belongs to the person who is more concerned about one thing than one thing less. The most likely reaction of General Wei is to laugh at our matter and ignore it. We are just begging for a bowl of food, and he can understand us. Scheming can also understand our scheming. As for the news to Princess Pingyang, Princess Pingyang has always had a knot in her heart about the age difference between her and General Wei. Although she doesn't care on the surface, she actually cares about other people's opinions. Taboo Others think that General Wei married her because of the emperor's order, and they would dislike her for being too old. But the focus of my song and dance is on the love of children, and I don't bother to care about their true and false in the temple. The play is about the true love between the princess and the horse slave in times of adversity. Their hearts have long been promised to each other, and they have been together silently for many years, but they are still "in heat, but in ceremony", until His Majesty, who is famous and powerful, finds out this lingering and sad love. Then an imperial decree lifted the insurmountable gap between the two, and the lovers will finally get married, so that the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe, and the moon will be full!" Hong Gu nodded frequently, then shook her head suddenly: "What about Your Majesty?" I propped my head up and said with a smile: "Good sister, you really think highly of me! You think that even His Majesty will know about it before singing. If His Majesty knows, we will be really popular." Hong Gu said: "I know this industry better than you. As long as you act, you will definitely become popular in Chang'an City." I thought for a while and said: "I can't guess what your majesty is thinking, but I have tried my best to avoid any words that may anger your majesty. I have even emphasized your majesty's wisdom, enlightenment, literary talent and martial arts in the libretto. Being an important minister of the Son of Heaven is certainly because of my talent, but more importantly, I have His Majesty's insight into heroes, and the happy ending of this love affair is all because of Your Majesty's open-mindedness. However, although I am 70% sure Nothing will happen, but the emperor’s heart, I really dare not try to be sure, because the emperor has too many ears and mouths. I can only say that I have done everything I can, and we may only gamble, or It’s just those who are brave enough to die from starvation, and those who are timid and starved to death, would Hong Gu be willing to fight with me this time?” I stuck out my tongue and looked at Hong Gu with a smile. Hong Gu stared at me and sighed: "Yu Niang, it's not surprising that you are bold and aggressive at such a young age. What's rare is that you are so thoughtful. Our garden will be difficult even if it is not popular. I have had enough of half-red in my life. No Zi's life, we performed this song and dance." I smiled and said: "There are many people in Chang'an who are more thoughtful than me, but I just haven't had the chance to meet them. Let alone our Princess Pingyang and General Wei are definitely much higher than me, and there is one..." I With a smile, he suddenly stopped talking. Just as Hong Gu was about to speak, the maidservant outside replied, "Miss Fang Ru wants to see the master." Hong Gu looked at me, I nodded and sat up straight.Hong Gu said: "Bring her in." Fang Ru's face was dark and her eyes were dull. After entering the room, she walked up to me, stared at me and said word by word: "I want to come back." I raised my finger and pointed to the couch opposite me, signaling her to sit down.But she stood still and said, "I have already burned the deed of prostitution. If you want, I can make up for it." I said: "If you want to come back, you will be a member of the garden in the future, then you have to listen to me." After speaking, she motioned for her to sit down with her eyes. Fang Ru stared at me for a while, then knelt stiffly on the couch.I poured her a glass of water and pushed it in front of her. She picked up the water silently and wanted to drink, but her hands trembled.She suddenly put the cup back on the case with a "bang": "You expected that I would come back, and now everything is as you want, are you happy?" I stared into Fang Ru's eyes, and slowly said: "Only children in this world have the right to blame others, you don't. Your stepmother and brother betrayed you, this is your own problem. Why didn't you replace your father when he was alive?" Arrange your own retreat? Why did you let your stepmother control the family property? Why did you fail to win the favor of your stepmother, but made her hate you so much? You didn't fight when you should fight, and you didn't retreat when you should retreat. Now you have a home No, it’s all your own fault. And me, I let you go when you wanted to go, what did I do to hurt you? Your hopes were all shattered, your brother failed to take the lead for you as you wished, although Chang’an City But it seems that there is no room for you. Can you blame me? You should have seen this clearly a long time ago. It didn’t take a day or two for you to be sold into a singing and dancing club by your stepmother, but your brother never appeared. You lied to yourself Is it my fault for looking at myself?" Fang Ru stared at me, her whole body trembling, her lips trembling, she wanted to say something but couldn't say it, she suddenly lowered her head, and burst into tears.Hong Gu stepped forward to hug her, took out a silk handkerchief and hurriedly wiped away Fang Ru's tears. Fang Ru, who had always been hostile to Hong Gu, cried into tears in Hong Gu's arms. I waited for her crying to die down, and said: "When Gu Hong was six years old, her parents sold her to find a wife for her brother. I don't even know who my parents are. Is there any sister in this garden who is not like this? You I have also been cared for by my parents for many years. We can only rely on ourselves, and you must learn to plan for yourself in everything. Since I gave you your deed of sale, you are free. You only need to find a better one for yourself in the future. Wherever you want to go, you can go at any time. But if you are in the garden for a day, you must abide by the rules of the garden for a day." Fang Ru was helped out by the maidservant, Hong Gu looked at me with a smile, and I said, "How does it feel to be a good person?" Hong Gu nodded and said: "That's right, I used to pretend to be a villain and was hated by others, it's rare to change my taste." I laughed: "It's time for me to be hated in the future." Honggu smiled and said: "Wrong, you will make them respect you and fear you, but they will not hate you, because you don't force them to do things, you give them a choice, and I used to only force them. Now I see you Only by doing things will we know that to achieve our goals, persecution is the worst means.” I thought for a while and said: "Tomorrow let Fang Ru practice a new song and dance, let her and Xixi learn to sing the princess's play together, let Qiuxiang and Zhilan learn to sing the general's play, whoever is better will be on stage, one is a little bit First, you can do your best only when you are under pressure, and second, if there is any accident in the future, someone will make up for it." Hong Gu nodded in agreement. I stood up and said: "You can discuss the details of the singing and dancing with the musicians. I have already told you my general ideas, but I don't understand the people of Chang'an City as well as you do, so if you think there is something inappropriate, Just change it according to your own ideas! I don’t have anything special, so I’ll go home first.” After finishing speaking, I suddenly realized, "home"?When did I learn to use this word? Honggu sent me out, and said with a smile: "Actually, it's so convenient for you to live here, and we sisters play a lot together, why bother running around every day?" I grinned at her, got in the car and left without saying anything to her. When I accidentally saw the full moon in the sky from the window, I realized that it was another full moon night.Brother Wolf must be walking under the moon at this time, and may howl at the moon from time to time.Will he miss me?I don't know, I don't know if the wolf will feel nostalgia, I can ask him when I go back later.Or he also has a companion at this time, to accompany him to look up at the moon. Chang'an City is very different from the Western Regions. When looking forward here, there will always be barriers, continuous houses, and towering walls. In the grassland and desert, you can always see the connection between the sky and the earth at a glance.However, at this time, I was sitting on the roof, and the sky I looked up at was the same, it was vast and boundless. I touched the flute in my hand, and I have been busy arranging songs and dances with the musicians. I haven't touched it for a long time, and I don't know if I can still play the "Baitou Yin" I just learned. Wrong, wrong, right, stop and start, a piece of music is blown up and down by me, but I am very happy myself, I can't scream at the moon, and I enjoy playing the song to the moon.I played it again, and it became much smoother, and I became more and more satisfied with myself. Facing the moon, full of self-satisfaction and infinite narcissism, a ray of flute sound slowly rises, where the melodious part is like a goddess spreading her sleeves and fluttering; Master Jiu is sitting in the courtyard playing the flute, the same flute music, mine is like an eighty-year-old woman who has not had enough to eat, but his is like Xizi who is just blooming by the Huansha River.The sound of his flute seems to be pulling the moonlight, reflecting a faint brilliance flowing on his whole body, which further complements his peerless grace in white clothes. At the end of the song, I was still immersed in the emotion of falling out of complacency and misfortune.Master Jiu was playing with the jade flute casually, looked up at me slightly and said, "Although there is an agitated sound in "The Song of White Heads", it is from the sorrow and anger of a woman. Your heart does not match the meaning of the song, so it is difficult to maintain harmony. It's the first time I've heard someone play "Baitou Yin" happily, thank you for your long breath, it's really hard for you." I stuck out my tongue and said with a smile: "I know this piece of music. I'll learn it tomorrow and be more cheerful. You play it really nicely. Let's play another piece! Be happy playing the first piece." I pointed Pointing to the moon in the sky, he said earnestly: "The bright and clear moon, the beautiful sky, and the swaying green bamboo beside you are all happy things." The full moon is full of emotions, but people often turn a blind eye. Master Jiu stared at me for a moment, nodded and said, "You're right, these are all happy things." He looked up at the full moon, raised his flute and started playing again. I don't know the song, but I can hear the joy in the song, like a happy rain in spring, the people are laughing, the grass is laughing, and the trees are laughing too. I stared at Jiuye, who was concentrating on playing the flute, and thought to myself: I don't understand the faint sadness in your eyebrows, but I hope to resolve it. The blue sky, the bright moon hanging on the side, the night is like water.One of us sat in the courtyard, and the other sat on the roof with our knees hugged. The green bamboos were the dance and the jade flute was the music. Fang Ru sees off the general who is about to go to war, she has thousands of words in her heart, but when it comes to her mouth, there is only one thing left.Fang Ru smiled gracefully, but there were tears in her eyes.On the stage, there is only a faint sound of the flute, which is constantly wanting to be cut, as if the princess is still wanting to cut it. The audience burst into applause, and the girls who were watching the song and dance with the guests were wiping away their tears with silk handkerchiefs. Hong Gu sighed: "I didn't expect Fang Ru to sing so well. She was a little stage fright in the first few performances, but now she can send and receive freely." I nodded and said, "It's indeed the artistic conception I want. Silence is better than sound, and she actually acted it out." Through the gauze curtain, Honggu looked around the crowd and said, "Within ten days, Luoyufang will definitely be popular in Chang'an." I smiled, got up and walked out of the attic. In April, when the catkins are flying down, the magnolias are pistils, and the cherries are red and ripe, the air is full of vitality.The excitement that I had suppressed in front of Honggu just now gradually came out, what will be waiting for me ahead?May my purpose hidden in the song and dance be successfully achieved? Except for the gatekeeper and a few people in charge, the servants and servants all secretly went to watch the singing and dancing. The garden was originally very quiet, but there was a sudden noise, which lasted for a long time.I frowned slightly and walked over quickly. Chen Er, who was in charge of the musicians, was pushing a young man out. When he saw me coming, he stopped quickly and saluted: "This man asked us if we want to hire a musician. I said no, but he kept pestering me, begging me to listen to him play for a while." Song." Hearing what Chen Er said, the man hurriedly bowed to me. The gown was old, frayed at the wide cuffs, but cleanly starched.His brows are delicate, his face is quite troubled, but his expression is calm and composed. I had a good impression of him, so I couldn't help asking: "Are you from another place?" He said: "Exactly, Li Yannian, who first arrived in Chang'an, is good at piano and singing and dancing. I hope Luoyufang can take him in." I laughed and said, "Whether you can take him or not depends on your piano skills. You can play a piece first! Chen Er, find him a good piano." Li Yannian said: "No need, the qin is the heart of the qin master, I take it with you everywhere." As he spoke, he untied the qin from his back.I stretched out my hand as a gesture of invitation, and walked first. Li Yannian opened the package, carefully placed Qin on the case, looked down at Qin silently, and did not move.Chen Er became a little impatient and was about to make a sound when I glanced at him, and he immediately restrained his expression.After a while, Li Yannian slowly raised his hands. The mountain stream is green, the blue waves are swaying, the flowers are falling and the water is falling, and the birds are singing. When Li Yannian played the qin, I felt as if I was in the beautiful mountains and rivers full of spring. Although I don't know much about the qin music, it can be said that this kind of music is almost peerless. Qu Bi's voice faded away, I was still thinking, I wanted to ask Chen Er's opinion again, but when I looked up and saw Chen Er's expression of shock and disbelief, I knew in my heart that no matter how much it cost, I must keep this person. I leaned slightly, and said respectfully: "Sir, you have extraordinary piano skills, you can even go to the most famous Tianxiangfang in Chang'an City, why do you come to me?" Li Yannian seemed quite uncomfortable with my respect. He lowered his head and said, "To be honest, I have already been to Tianxiangfang. I am the eldest son of my family. Both parents died. I took my younger brother and sister to Chang'an to seek a place to live. Tianxiang Fangben would like to take us in, but my sister heard someone talking about Luoyufang's new song and dance "Flower and Moon" yesterday, so she suddenly didn't want to go to Tianxiangfang, and begged me to come here for a try, saying that the person who wrote the song and dance must hear it The music below." I looked at Li Yannian with some surprise: "After hearing about "Flowers and Moons", Lingmei actually asked Mr. to reject Tianxiangfang?" Li Yannian said: "Yes. Your workshop's "Flowers and Moons" is indeed well thought out." I laughed, "Hua Yue Nong" is an opportunistic song and dance, the tune is actually very ordinary, and it really only deserves a "self-made trick" in the ears of everyone like him.But this younger sister made me very curious about her. My accidental picture of singing and dancing had been hidden from Aunt Hong and Master Wu, but I hadn't hidden it from her.Since I was young, I have learned the art of scheming, and my father taught me how to change the world. I grew up in the royal family of the Huns, and I saw a lot of intrigues. Afterwards, I personally experienced a bloody change. Since I entered the Shifu, I have She began to painstakingly collect information about the dignitaries in Chang'an City, but she was so smart that she was frighteningly smart when she first entered Chang'an.Acting resolutely and decisively, in the difficult situation of living in Chang'an, he actually rejected Tianxiangfang and chose a song and dance workshop that was just emerging.It's just that since she understands my intentions, she deliberately let her brother enter Luoyufang, what is she trying to do? Why did she want to get acquainted with Princess Pingyang? I looked at Li Yannian carefully, he was already very handsome among men, if his younger sister is also outstanding in appearance, then...then I must keep this person: "No matter how much money Tianxiangfang gives you, I will give you money." It's twice as much." Li Yannian's expression was flat, and he didn't seem very happy, he just bowed to me and said, "Thank you, miss." Chen Er laughed beside him and said, "From now on, I should be called Fangzhu." I said: "Everyone in the garden calls me Yuniang, sir, you can also call me Yuniang in the future!" Li Yannian said: "Yu Niang, you don't need to call me Mister." I said, "Then I'll call Mr. Li Master! I don't know where the master brothers and sisters live now?" Li Yannian said: "When I first came to Chang'an, I lived in a hotel, and later...later...moved to an abandoned hut outside the city." I nodded knowingly: "When I first arrived in Chang'an, I slept in the birch forest outside Chang'an!" Li Yannian looked up at me, without saying a word, but there was warmth in his eyes. I said: "There are still many vacant rooms in the garden. If you brothers and sisters are willing, you can move in." Li Yannian pondered for a moment. I said, "Master Li, you can take your brother and sister to have a look first, and then make a decision after discussing with each other. If you don't want to live, I can also order someone to help you rent another house in Chang'an City. It's not too late today. It’s not too late for Master Li to go back and bring his brother and sister to see the house.” Li Yannian bowed and said, "Thank you, Yuniang." I stood up and told Chen Er: "Master Chen, please help me send Master Li to me." Then I said to Li Yannian: "I still have things to do, so I won't send Master off." After speaking, I turned and left. I ordered the servant girl to tidy up and clean the house, and I also ordered the servant girl to call Honggu.Hong Gu hurried over and said, "I was watching a song and dance, why did you disappear? How did you clean the house? Who wants to live?" I smiled and looked at the maid cleaning the doors and windows: "I hired a new luthier." Hong Gu was stunned for a moment and said, "A luthier doesn't need to live in such a big yard, does he? Besides, isn't there a place for luthiers to live in?" I turned around and said: "When you see me, you will understand. By the way, ask someone to send a message to Shifu, saying that I may not be able to go back today." Aunt Hong looked at me in confusion: "Who is it worth waiting for you here? See you tomorrow, isn't it the same?" I tilted my head and smiled and said, "Have you heard the story of Boya and Ziqi? A piece of music becomes a life-and-death confidant. This person and I can be regarded as listening to singing and dancing to know elegance. I want to meet this extremely smart woman." When it was dark, Li Yannian took his brother and sister to the garden.Honggu and I stood at the gate of the courtyard, waiting for the servants to bring them.Although Honggu looked calm, her eyes were full of curiosity. Li Yannian went first, a young man who looked a little like him, but a little less handsome and a little more rough, followed behind him, and the woman beside him—— Dressed in plain clothes, she is tall and full of dance-like elegance when she walks. Her figure is thin, but the sleeves of her robe that dance lightly with her steps turn the thinness into elegance. Hong Gu murmured, "It turns out that walking can also be like a dance." With a light veil covering my face, I can't see her face, but those eyes are enough.Charming and gentle, chilly, warm and friendly, swords and swords.In just a moment, her eyes flickered, but I didn't catch any of them.Sword light? !interesting!I pursed my lips and laughed. Hong Gu sighed lowly, then sighed again, then sighed again, this woman has already left Hong Gu speechless who has seen countless beauties just by her appearance. Li Yannian bowed to me: "This is my younger brother, named Guangli; this is my younger sister, single named Yan." The two saluted to me, I bowed slightly, and returned the half salute. I took Li Yannian, brother and sister, to look at the house. Li Guangli was obviously very satisfied, with a face full of excitement, and he kept running in and out.Although Li Yannian didn't have any expression on his face, he should be satisfied when he looked at the room carefully.But Li Yan didn't follow her elder brother into the house, her gaze just swept around the yard lightly, and then fell on my face. I smiled at her, and she said: "My brother's piano skills are outstanding, but after all, he is new to Chang'an City, so he is not worthy of being like the master." Her voice is not as clear and melodious as ordinary girls, but deep and slightly hoarse , People have to listen carefully to catch it, but once you concentrate, you will feel that this voice is like someone whispering against your ear in the dark night, scratching your heart vaguely. I shrugged my shoulders and said: "I really want to make it less noticeable, but I really want to keep you. It's you, not just Master Li. And I like to finish it once, and I don't want to let you spend a few days Moving again, I am in trouble, and you are also in trouble." Li Yan said: "Us?" I smiled and said, "My brother is outstanding at playing the piano and has a handsome appearance. My sister has figured out my intention just by my singing and dancing. How can I disappoint my bosom friend?" I intentionally emphasized the pronunciation of the words "intent" and "bosom friend". Li Yan's eyes slowly filled with a smile: "Master is really thoughtful." I don't know if there is a feeling among women called "sympathy", but this is the only word I can think of to describe what I feel at this time.I tilted my head and laughed: "Everyone, my name is Jinyu." She took off her veil gracefully: "My name is Li Yan." Aunt Hong gasped, and let out an "ah" out of composure.I couldn't help sighing deeply, full of amazement, it's not that I have never seen a beauty, but she can no longer be described as beautiful, it turns out that there is a kind of beauty in the world that can make people forget the world, even if the stars fall for her, the sun and the moon because of her No light, I wouldn't find it weird either.
