This news spread rapidly throughout the city as if it had wings. Everyone knew that under the Suzi Bridge, there was a weird man who was as black as charcoal. He would set up a table under the bridge every day, rain or shine, and he would do nothing.
Not selling, just sitting there.
At first, everyone in the city thought he was a madman and no one paid attention to him. However, on the third day, the eldest son of the Li family in the city suddenly came to this weird man with his servants and two burdens.
, put down the burden and left respectfully.
The next day, the orphan beggars in Suzi City made all the buns from Xie's bun shop, and each orphan had a piece of silver in his hand.
Someone saw that these orphans and beggars got their money from the weirdo under the Suzi Bridge, and the weirdo's money came from the eldest son of the Li family.
No one knows why the eldest son of the Li family gave money to a weirdo, and no one knows why the weirdo gave the money to beggars.
The strange man's behavior aroused the curiosity of the residents in the city. Many people would hang out there when they had nothing to do, wanting to know where this strange man came from.
On the fifth day, the Qian family, the largest cloth merchant in the city, also appeared under the Suzi Bridge, carrying two baskets of silver. After putting down the silver, the chief steward of the Qian family also left respectfully.
But this time, everyone saw with their own eyes that this weirdo distributed two baskets of silver to the orphans. Many people were very jealous, especially the ruffians, who had evil thoughts.
On the sixth day, the weirdo came under the Suzi Bridge as usual, but his table had been smashed, and instead, there were a dozen scoundrels sitting there.
The weirdo looked at these ruffians and turned around and left!
On the seventh day, a newly built table appeared under the Suzi Bridge. The gangsters all stood aside respectfully, waiting for the weirdo to arrive. They all kowtowed to apologize and changed their ways.
On the ninth day, the city officials went to Suzi Bridge and took the weirdo away on the grounds that he was disturbing the market order and misleading the public with his evil words...
On the tenth day, the weirdo left from the city lord's mansion under the courtesy of the city lord. Along with him, there were two boxes of jewelry sent by the city lord.
…
"Did you hear that, that weirdo gave away his wealth again, including two boxes of jewelry? Why did he give it to those beggars?"
"That's right, we are poor too. It would be great if we could give us some jewelry."
"Go, you are still poor. I saw it yesterday. Mr. Lin gave you a necklace. The gem on it is worth a lot of money."
"Then Prince Wang also gave you a jade bracelet, why didn't you tell me?"
"It would be great if this weirdo brought the jewels to our Cuiwei residence. Although he looks a bit ugly, for the sake of these jewels, I am still willing to serve him for one night."
"Stop your wishful thinking, people will look down on you." Inside Cuiwei, a woman dressed very coquettishly walked out of her room, glanced at a wing at the other end, and said in a strange way: "It's still us.
Sister Ruoyan is so lucky. He comes here every day to listen to sister Ruoyan’s music. I guess the gold, silver and jewelry in sister Ruoyan’s house are all piled up.”
"Sister Yanru, you are not bad either. Mr. Zhang from Su Zicheng is famous and handsome. He comes here every day to support you, sister Yanru. We are really envious of you."
"Yes, we have seen a lot of rich people. In this generation, one still has to have fame. If you have fame, you can become an official. Maybe Sister Yanru will be the wife of an official in the future."
"Anyway, Mr. Zhang is very talented. I just asked Mr. Zhang to teach me how to write."
"Sister Yanru, do you need to hug me so tightly when writing? The last time Mr. Zhang was in your boudoir, he stayed there for more than two hours. It wasn't just writing. We all heard the sound."
"Yes, but it makes me feel so uncomfortable. Sister Yanru, would you like me to imitate it now, ah...ah...Zhang...Mr. Zhang...be gentle..."
These words made these splendidly dressed women burst into laughter, and the woman named Yanru was not annoyed. Instead, she looked provocatively at the end of the corridor on the right, where a little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old was looking upright.
Staring at her.
"Xiaomei, what happened outside?"
Xiaomei opened the door to the room and saw that her young lady was still wiping the strings of the piano. She replied, "It's not that woman Yanru who is showing off to Mr. Zhang outside."
"Oh." Su Ruoyan responded, indicating that he understood, and concentrated on wiping his strings again.
"Miss, in our city, doesn't Young Master Yan also have a good reputation? His exam ranking is higher than that of Young Master Zhang. Why don't we invite Young Master Yan to come and kill Yanru's arrogance?" Xiaomei said.
After rolling his eyes a few times, he suddenly suggested something.
"What are you talking about?" Su Ruoyan raised his head and glanced at Xiaomei helplessly, "Young Master Yan and I just met each other."
"Will I write a poem for you, young lady, because of a chance meeting? This Mr. Yan must be interested in the young lady. As long as the young lady agrees, I will go to Mr. Yan and guarantee that Mr. Yan will come. Then I will immediately compare myself to Mr. Zhang."
Su Ruoyan glanced at Xiaomei with some annoyance, and said with a chuckle: "You, please stop thinking nonsense. At this time, Mr. Qin is almost here. You go to the door and wait for Mr. Qin to arrive."
"Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin, Miss, you know Mr. Qin." Xiaomei said complaining: "Miss, I don't know what's so good about Mr. Qin. He looks like charcoal, even worse than the fire stick that Mrs. Zhang has in the kitchen.
To be honest, even if Mr. Qin saved the young lady's life, we have taken him in for so long and we have repaid the kindness."
"People outside think that Mr. Qin is rich, he spreads his wealth everywhere, and he often comes to see the young lady. They all say that the young lady must have got a lot of jewels from Mr. Qin. But it has been more than a month, not to mention the gold and silver jewels, just a penny.
No money has been paid.”
The more Xiaomei talked, the angrier she became. In her heart, Mr. Qin was not only a weirdo, but also an idiot. You said you have money and want to give it to the poor. That is your freedom. But every time you come to Cuiweiju, Miss Qin
You don’t get paid a penny for singing. The lady paid for the tea in advance, and you live in the courtyard, and all three meals are paid for by the lady. If you have money, you should pay for the meals first.
Go, don't eat and drink for free all day long, and still eat so peacefully.
"Xiaomei, Mr. Qin is not an ordinary person, and his style of doing things is naturally different from ordinary people." Su Ruoyan stood up from his position, walked to Xiaomei's side, put his hands on Xiaomei's shoulders, and said seriously: "Xiaomei, you follow
I have known my character for so many years, and don’t forget, we still have unfinished business.”
"Yes, I understand. I will go and wait for Mr. Qin." Xiaomei replied reluctantly and walked out of the room, mumbling something...
"Hey, Mr. Qin has closed the stall?"
"Master Qin, come here to sit here. Our girls in Manhonglou are no worse than Cuiweiju. They are all as beautiful as gods. The most important thing is that they are also very good at serving others."
"Go, Mr. Qin is here to listen to Ruo Yan's singing, so don't waste your time."
When the proprietress of Cuiweiju saw Qin Yu appear, she hurriedly greeted him. This was a big customer. Every time he heard Ruo Yan sing, she would leave a lot of tea money.
"Mr. Qin, my lady is already waiting upstairs. Please come with me." Xiaomei walked up to Qin Yu and said stiffly.
"Let's go." Qin Yu nodded and followed Xiaomei towards the second floor without stopping too much.
"It would be great if this money-spreading boy would bring a few boxes of jewelry to my Cuiwei residence to spread his wealth." The landlady looked at Qin Yu's back as he entered, and imagined in her heart...
"It seems like we need to have a good talk with Ruo Yan."
…
There is a curtain in Su Ruoyan's boudoir, and Qin Yu is sitting under the table opposite the curtain. There are teapots and tea sets on the table. The tea is fine tea, and the tea sets are also high-quality tea sets.
"Mr. Qin, I have been thinking about the lyrics you wrote for me last time and composed the music. If there is anything wrong with it, I hope Mr. Qin can point it out."
"Miss Su, as I said last time, I didn't write this word, and I don't have such a high talent, but I am very interested in the singing method of this word. Miss Su, please do it."
There was silence for a while, and suddenly, a quiet voice flowed out from Su Ruoyan's fingertips, and the prelude started, like a butterfly spreading its wings and fluttering its agile wings, flowing clear and bright, and like the starry sky outside the Great Wall, settling.
The green-orange light... melodious, whispering, the sound of the piano is like complaining or crying...
"The cicadas are mournful, facing the Changting Pavilion at night..." The sound of the piano slowed down, Su Ruoyan's red lips lightly opened, and the beautiful and beautiful voice flowed with the sound of the piano.
"The showers have just stopped, and all the tents are empty of drinking, and the place of nostalgia..." The sound of the piano rose, and Su Ruoyan's voice was stuck in his throat, "Lanzhou urged her to start, holding hands and looking into each other's tearful eyes..."
Outside Suzi City, the sky is full of yellow sand, dust is flying, and the overwhelming sound of horses is heading towards Suzi City. Densely packed soldiers in armor are advancing towards Suzi City step by step.
This is an army. Among this mighty army, a military flag is particularly conspicuous, with a huge "Su" embroidered on it.
"General, the forward troops are only two miles away from Suzicheng."
In this team, under the military flag, a man full of heroic spirit was silent for a long time after hearing the deputy general's report, "Give me the order. In a quarter of an hour, beat the drums and attack the city!"
"Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"
"If a sergeant sacrifices five hundred people, he will massacre the city in three days!"
…
Boom! Boom! Boom!
War drums sounded outside Suzi City, and countless soldiers wearing military armor appeared outside the gate of Suzi City. When the sergeant guarding the gate saw this scene, his face turned pale with fear, especially when he saw the military flag with the word "Su" engraved on it, his lips trembled.
He trembled and said to himself: "It's Su Shi, Su Shi is back."
"Sentiment has hurt parting since ancient times, and it is even more worthy of neglecting the Qingqiu Festival! Where can I wake up tonight, on the bank of willows, with the dawn wind and the waning moon. After so many years, it should be a good time and beautiful scenery. Even if there are thousands of customs, who can I tell you!"
The sound of the piano and the sound of the war drums sounded together, Su Zicheng was destroyed! (To be continued)
