This was music that Su Yueling had never heard before. Although she was not good at the guqin, her appreciation level had always been very high. She could also tell that the person who played the guqin was not inferior to the skilled court musicians.
In the music, she could hear the other person's self-pity, and his misery revealed a bit of unyielding attitude towards reality.
The sound of the piano was getting closer and closer. Su Yueling looked out and saw a flower boat heading in their direction. Then the flower boat stopped, about five feet away from their boat. Su Yueling could see it.
Sitting on the bow of the flower boat is a slender figure with an elegant shape. Just looking at her back, she looks like a peerless beauty, making people even more curious about her true appearance.
Biyu followed her gaze and said, "The person playing the piano should be the Goulan woman."
The decoration of the flower boat looks like it belongs to a brothel.
Su Yueling said: "I heard that there are many beauties in Huazhou, and the four famous prostitutes are all over the country and versatile. The most famous one is Xu Zhenniang, the courtesan of Huancui Pavilion. I heard that she is not only good at reciting poems and painting, but also playing the piano well.
What a beautiful guqin.”
I don’t know if it’s her on the flower boat?
Su Yueling felt that these famous prostitutes were quite pitiful. If they had a choice, they might not be willing to be the world-shaking brothel girl, but would rather be ordinary ordinary people.
Biyu asked: "Do you want this ship to leave?"
"The sound of the guqin may disturb the fish on the bottom of the boat."
At this time, Su Yuecheng felt the fishing rod move. She pulled up the fishing rod, and her eyes lit up when she saw the fish caught - it was a bamboo fish!
Hahaha!
She finally caught one.
Su Yueling, who was in a good mood, said: "No, if she likes to play, just let her play."
Anyway, it doesn't affect her fishing, so just treat it as a concert.
Su Yueling continued fishing in a happy mood. To her surprise, she seemed to have poked into the nest of bamboo fish and caught three fish in a quarter of an hour.
Su Yueling was puzzled and knocked on the system.
[Tongzi, are you using a cheat for me? 】
Why did she suddenly keep catching bamboo fish? Previously, bamboo fish couldn't catch other big fish.
[That’s because the bamboo fish itself is very insensitive to sounds, and other big fish are scared away by the sound.]
Su Yueling suddenly realized: So that’s it!
She turned to Biyu and said, "Have you gone to see how many bamboo fish Suijun caught?"
Biyu came back soon and said with a suppressed smile: "I have caught three bamboo fish so far. I asked Awu that since the flower boat came here, the prince has never caught half a fish again."
Su Yueling smiled happily: Then she won for sure.
It is estimated that the big fish were scared away by the sound of the guqin, and the bamboo fish, which were not sensitive to the sound, preferred her place, so they came to her place in a swarm.
hapiness!
Su Yueling hoped that the beauty from Hualou opposite could play longer. She wanted to crush Suijun and let him see her fishing prowess!
She is the legendary fishing king!
With the help of the sound of the piano, Su Yueling caught more and more bamboo fish.
In one hour, she caught a total of nineteen bamboo fish, which can be said to be a bumper harvest!
The time she and Suijun agreed upon was exactly one hour.
Su Yueling's side had four buckets of fish caught, and Yuan Suijun's side had only one bucket. Ever since the flower boat docked nearby, he had not caught any fish.
Su Yueling said happily, "I won!"
Yuan Suijun took her lively and happy expression into his eyes, and his brows softened, "Yes, you are very powerful."
Ah Wu sighed and said, "My initial results were pretty good, but the sound of the piano was too disturbing."
Awu didn't like this kind of melodious sound, and it made him feel uncomfortable.
Yuan Suijun was very calm about this, "If you lose, you lose."
Su Yueling said: "Let's have a bamboo fish dinner tonight!"
The other fish caught are not wasted and can be given to the chef for cooking. She remembers that there is a kind of fish in it that is used to make fish balls, which is called a q-bomb.
Well, you can also take some fish back to show your respect to your elders. They caught them themselves.
"So when are we going to the casino?" She looked at Yuan Suijun with shining eyes.
Yuan Suijun thought for a moment and said, "The day after tomorrow."
He has business to do tomorrow, but he will be able to spare time the day after tomorrow.
Su Yueling would be satisfied as long as she was not let off the hook. She was indeed familiar with modern casinos, but she had never seen casinos from this era.
After fishing all afternoon, Su Yueling was a little hungry, so she was ready to go home.
Her eyes fell on the flower boat, and she couldn't help but sigh. The woman on the flower boat really liked the guqin. She had been playing it for so long without stopping. If it were her, she would probably be able to play it with her fingers for half an hour.
It's going to hurt.
Su Yueling couldn't do it herself, but she still admired people who devoted themselves to art.
And the reason why I was able to catch up this time was all thanks to the sound of the guqin.
Su Yueling's eyes fell on the buckets containing fish not far away, and she said, "Take half a bucket of fish and send it over. Thank you for the music of her piano."
Yuan Suijun raised his eyebrows, "To add to the fun? The sound of the piano scared away all my fish."
Su Yueling said with a smile: "All the fish that were scared away came to me. I can only say that your skills are not as good as mine and you can't keep these fish."
The servants had already taken out a new bucket, filled it with half a bucket of lake water, and put the fish in it.
The captain at the helm began to move the ship closer to the flower boat.
…
On the flower boat.
Xu Zhenniang has been playing for more than an hour. Although she can play for three hours in a day without any problem, she will stop and rest during the process. Like this time, she has not taken a break for more than an hour.
Could it be that Master Yuan was so fascinated by what he heard that he didn’t even send anyone over?
For Xu Zhenniang, it was extremely difficult to make Yuan Suijun fall in love with her in the short period of five days. She must not give up every opportunity easily.
She tried her best to maintain her original state of mind so that her performance would not be affected by changes in mood.
Because of her unwillingness and slight resentment, she showed a very high level of performance this time, and Xiao Tao, the maid who served her, had tears in her eyes.
At this time, voices came from the stern of the boat, and the sounds drifted into her ears with the wind.
"...If you like these fish, keep them as a small thank you for the sound of the piano."
fish?
Xu Zhenniang couldn't help but stop playing the piano, and her clear and cold voice was like plum blossoms in winter, "What happened?"
Her maid immediately went over to see what was going on, and then came back with an excited look on her face, "Girl, Prince Rong sent someone to bring the fish he caught. It's specially given to you because you play the guqin so well."
Xu Zhenniang's eyes were filled with joy, but she said: "Don't talk nonsense. Maybe someone down there caught it."
The maid said seriously: "He must have caught it. I saw it clearly just now. He has been fishing along the edge of the boat for a long time."
Xu Zhenniang was stunned, "Bring me the bucket of fish and have a look."
