Qin Xiqing smiled and said: "This is golden amber honey. It is the secret wine of Lin'an Mansion and Fenglou. Only thirty jars are secretly brewed every year. This year Xiqing was lucky enough to get one jar."

Fang Zian was surprised: "It's actually the golden amber honey from Hefeng Tower? How can Zian enjoy such a precious wine?"

Qin Xiqing said: "It is prepared for Young Master Fang. Thirty altars of gold, amber and honey are prepared. The altars have different meanings. Some of them mean longevity and good fortune, some of them mean health and ease, some of them mean official luck, some of them mean wealth, and so on.

One thing is enough. The details of this jar of wine are written on the side of the jar. You can read it and you will know its meaning."

When Fang Zian heard this, he turned around and looked at the outer wall of the slender-waisted wine jar. He saw that there were four small characters in Yin and Zhuan carved on the outer wall of the jar. They were the words "Title on the Golden List". In an instant, Fang Zian understood immediately.

Qin Xiqing's purpose in inviting him to drink this wine today was why he couldn't help turning his head to look at Qin Xiqing blankly.

"The young master will enter the palace tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow is the day of the autumn imperial examination. Xiqing specially spent a lot of money to buy this jar of amber honey wine to support the young master. I wish the young master to win the gold medal in the Toad Palace." Qin Xiqing said with a smile.

Fang Zian was extremely shocked and moved. Not to mention how precious this jar of wine was, Hefeng Tower was the most high-end restaurant in Lin'an Prefecture, and the home-brewed wine in the building was one of their signatures. Fang Zian had a good morning

I have heard rumors that Hefenglou’s homemade secret wine is hard to find. The wine I drank today must be the legendary secret homemade wine. It is said that the koji used in it has been used for thousands of years.

All kinds of precious tonics and medicinal materials are secretly brewed. They are priceless and hard to buy for a lot of money. Only thirty jars of the secret wine are released every year, which is even more precious. Qin Xiqing can get Hefenglou's secret amber honey for herself.

My own Qiuwei big exam is a great success. Regardless of the price, this can be seen in my heart.

"Thank you so much, Miss Qin. Zian is so virtuous and capable, I am so scared." Fang Zian stood up and bowed respectfully.

Qin Xiqing smiled, said nothing, stretched out her hand to lift the white gauze covering the long table on the side, and a simple and exquisite guqin was revealed. Qin Xiqing burned incense to clean her hands, sat on the side of the long table, and said softly: "Mr. Fang

, I will play the piano and sing for you to entertain you."

Fang Zian sat down slowly, smiled and nodded. Qin Xiqing plucked the strings lightly with her bare hands, and a charming sound came from the strings. She frowned slightly, and the sound of the piano came out slowly and spread.

Fang Zian lowered his head, slowly drank the wine, and listened carefully to the sound of the piano. The sound gradually went from clear to low, then became like crying, complaining, and whispering. At this moment, Qin Xiqing's singing sounded.

"My thoughts are in Taishan. I want to follow my father Liang, but it is difficult. I turn to the east and look at Han Han with tears in my eyes. The beauty gave me a golden sword, how can I repay Ying Qiong Yao? The road is far away, so don't rely on Xiaoyao, what is the meaning of being worried and troubled.

"

"I am thinking about Guilin. I want to go to the deep Xiang River, but I turn to the south and look down with tears in my lap. A beautiful woman gave me a harp and a harp, why should I repay it with a pair of jade plates? The road is far away and I should not lean on it and feel melancholy. What is the meaning of being worried and upset."

"My thoughts are in Hanyang. I want to go to Longban, but I turn to the west and look at my clothes with tears in my eyes. A beautiful woman gave me a mink coat, so why should I repay it with a bright moon pearl? The road is far away and I should not hesitate to lean on it. Why do I feel worried and troubled?

"

"My thoughts are in Yanmen. I want to go to the snowy atmosphere, but I turn to the north and look at the towel with tears in my eyes. The beauty gave me a beautiful piece, how can I repay the sapphire case? The road is far away, don't lean on it and sigh, what's the point of being worried and worried

.”

The sound of the piano is low, and the singing is also low and melancholy, with one chant and three sighs, thousands of twists and turns. The singing seems to contain endless melancholy, endless sorrow and regret, but there is also endless affection and expectation in it.

Fang Zian was holding the wine glass and was unable to drink the wine. He was fascinated by it. He had seen Qin Xiqing's singing skills and listened to Qin Xiqing's songs with his own ears. However, he had never seen a person who could sing like this.

The song blends into the meaning of the words

In the meaning of the music, there is a complete and traceless melting. To Fang Zian, this ancient music is completely natural. The music, lyrics and songs are all indispensable. This is a real skill, and Qin Xiqing fully believes in it.

He deserves the title of a great artist.

However, what puzzles Fang Zian is how a woman in her prime can grasp the meaning of this song. Just skills and understanding of lyrics and music are not enough. Only when there is emotional resonance can such a song be achieved.

Effect.

When the music stopped, Fang Zian let out a long sigh, clapped his hands softly and praised: "I'm convinced. I bow down in admiration without a trace of false admiration. Miss Qin, your skills are amazing."

Qin Xiqing put her hands on the strings and said with a smile: "It's funny. But it seems that you haven't drank. I'm afraid you can't drink this music."

Fang Zian smiled and said: "This is more intoxicating and satisfying than drinking the best wine in the world. After listening to this song, you don't need to drink anymore."

Qin Xiqing shook his head and said: "That can't be done. Playing music for the young master to entertain him while drinking will not dampen his drinking pleasure. Xiqing has a drink with the young master to express his apology."

Fang Zian said: "I can't ask for it." Then he poured a glass of wine and handed it to Qin Xiqing. The two raised their glasses and drank up the wine.

"The piece I just played is "Poetry of Four Sorrows" written by Zhang Heng in the Han Dynasty. Zhang Heng was a strange man. Not only was he good at writing poems and poems, he was known as one of the four masters of Han Fu, as famous as Sima Xiangru and others. What's even more rare is that he can also

He has made many ingenious instruments such as the "seismometer". It is said that the news of earthquakes in all directions can be heard from hundreds of miles away. It is really admirable. Xiqing likes the poem "Four Sorrows" the most. When she sings it to the young master, it is

Because there is a sentence there, "A beauty gave me a beautiful paragraph, how can I repay the Sapphire Case." I think of the poem about the Sapphire Case written by the young master. But I didn't give the young master a beautiful paragraph." Qin Xiqing said with a smile.

.

Fang Zian came over with the wine jar, filled the wine cup next to Qin Xiqing, and said with a smile: "Miss Qin has so many things to think about. She gave me a hundred taels of silver, and what more beautiful pieces do you want? Come on, come on, I'll sit down

I can listen to you playing the piano and singing here, so I can have a drink with the girl."

Qin Xiqing smiled slightly and said: "Okay. Then let's sing another song. Sing it to suit the occasion. Young master is about to take the autumn exam, so let's sing an inspiring poem."

Fang Zi'an took a sip of wine and said, "Okay."

Qin Xiqing plucked the strings quickly, and the music sounded fast and clear, exciting and exciting. Then she sang: "A rich family does not need to buy fertile land, there are thousands of millet in the book."

You don’t need to build a tall building to live peacefully. There is a golden house in the book.

When marrying a wife, don’t hate an unscrupulous matchmaker. There is a beauty in the book.

When you go out, don't regret having no one to follow you. There are so many cars and horses in the book.

If a man wants to fulfill his life ambitions, he should read the Five Classics diligently in front of the window."

This poem to encourage students to learn was written by Zhao Heng, Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty. Since the day it came out, it has spread all over the world and is known to all the young, old, women and children. The tunes are fixed and there is no difficulty. Fang Zian can also sing it naturally.

They had often sung it. So they sang along with Qin Xiqing's singing. It was just a song. The two looked at each other and smiled. Fang Zian raised his glass to drink, and Qin Xiqing also took a sip.

"Emperor Zhenzong's poem is really straightforward. He knows that people in the world love money, beauty, glory, and wealth, so he directly tells them that as long as they study hard, they will have it. This emperor is not hypocritical. He is better than those who talk about big principles.

It’s just that, haha, the book has its own beauty, and the book has its own house of gold. With such guidance for the ambitions of scholars, it’s no wonder that all the officials now love money and lust, because they are all taught by the emperor. Hahaha.” Fang Zian.

smiled.

Qin Xiqing pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Emperor Zhenzong used this to encourage people to study. After reading the books of sages, scholars should understand the rites of sages. But still

If you want to get promoted and make a fortune, then you haven’t read well, so you can’t blame Emperor Zhenzong.”

Fang Zian smiled and said: "You're right, you should understand the way of the sages after reading the book. It's just that their purpose is impure. In fact, there is no such thing as a golden house in the book. The face is as beautiful as jade, and literacy is the beginning of worries in life. Sometimes, the characters are still unclear.

If you know someone, you will live a much happier life if you don't understand anything. Because you don't understand, you can live a life of confusion without so much pain and suffering."

Qin Xiqing's bright eyes were fixed on Fang Zian's face, and she said softly: "This is not what you are thinking. How could you have such thoughts? This is not like you."

Fang Zian smiled and said: "It's just what I feel. Of course I don't mean it from my heart. If you live your life like a pig, dog or livestock, eating, drinking, and drinking, you will be fat and white and be slaughtered by someone in the end. How can such a life be possible?"

What's the meaning? Sometimes I think about how lucky it is to be born as a human being. Although there are all kinds of pain and suffering, there is also a lot of happiness and laughter. Gratitude and resentment, love and hate are intertwined, and even when you are full of energy, there is also sadness.

There are all kinds of sad parts, so that life can be wonderful."

Qin Xiqing looked at Fang Zian quietly, raised his wine glass and said, "I feel sorry for you. Here's a drink to you, sir."

Fang Zian raised his glass and said with a smile: "Miss Qin, please, but don't get drunk, I still want to hear you sing."

Qin Xiqing took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "Don't worry, young master, Xiqing has her own sense of propriety, and she is not like you, who is reckless when drinking and will not stop until she is drunk."

Fang Zian nodded and said: "That's true, Miss Qin can be measured."

Qin Xiqing's face changed slightly, and she heard the implication of Fang Zian's words. It seemed to mean that she was used to drinking and singing, so of course she would not get drunk. Qin Xiqing felt a little sad. After all, Fang Zian always seemed to

He was using his identity to stimulate himself intentionally or unintentionally. Could it be that, as the prince said, he was jealous? But it didn't seem like it. If he was interested in her, how could he not see her for more than a month without any expression?

Fang Zian didn't realize the ambiguity of this sentence. He just relaxed and chatted with Qin Xiqing as a friend. Who would have thought that it would make Qin Xiqing unhappy again.

"Miss Qin, let's sing another song." Fang Zian said with a smile.

Qin Xiqing said softly: "Master Fang, does he know how much money it costs to listen to Xiqing's song? Can Master Fang afford it?"

Fang Zian was stunned and said with a smile: "What? Do you still need money? I don't have any money. There is only one life to die. Why don't I take this life for you?"

Qin Xiqing smiled and said: "Who wants your life? It's as if my singing is difficult to listen to. If you don't have money, you will owe me. When you become a prosperous person, I will pay you back twice as much."

Fang Zian smiled and said: "Then you have to wait until your hair turns white. If I become an official, I will be a good official with clean sleeves. I will not go to Yan Ruyu and the Golden House."

Qin Xiqing nodded and said: "Even though your hair is gray, you always owe me money. As long as you don't default on the debt, it will be fine. If you don't pay back for a day, you will owe me money for a lifetime. If you don't pay back for a lifetime, you will owe me money for a lifetime."

Fang Zian laughed and said: "In that case, Miss Qin, let's sing ten more songs. Anyway, if you have many debts, you won't have to worry about it, and if you have many lice, you won't be itchy. I broke the jar and broke it."

Qin Xiqing pursed her lips and smiled. Qin Xiqing was also very happy that Fang Zian could joke with her so easily.

"Maybe I'm too sensitive, he is the kind of careless person. But no matter what, how can I let him underestimate me." Qin Xiqing thought in her heart.

"I'll sing another song for you, sir." Qin Xiqing said.
