As soon as Lujiang City was recaptured, many people in the city had returned to their previous appearance.
There were hawkers, merchants, and ordinary people coming and going on the streets, even with smiles on their faces.
Because before Yuan Shu ruled, Lujiang City had very high taxes and constantly recruited soldiers to capture young men.
Now after Jiang Siming captured Lujiang, he not only reduced the taxes of the people of Lujiang to less than 10% of the previous level, but also released all the strong men in Lujiang City back.
Of course the people are happy.
"Fengxiao, you said it would be great if we could turn the entire Han Dynasty into this, where there would be no more wars, the people of Li would live and work in peace and contentment, and the world would be at peace."
On a street in Lujiang City, Jiang Siming and Guo Jia, who had changed into ordinary rich boy clothes, walked on the street and chatted leisurely.
Guo Fengxiao smiled and said yearningly: "If this can really happen, it will be a blessing to the world. Guo Jia believes that my lord will be able to do it soon."
"Haha, that's for sure, otherwise why would I be the prime minister?" Jiang Siming smiled openly.
Guo Jia paused for a moment, then whispered: "My lord, you will be more than just the prime minister in the future..."
Of course Jiang Siming knew what Guo Jia wanted to express, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "You can't say this to anyone for the time being, let alone Xun Yu."
Dian Wei stood behind him as a follower and asked with a confused look on his face: "My lord, military advisor, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand a word?"
The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
After walking around Lujiang City, Jiang Siming didn't find the legendary Er Qiao.
I was thinking whether I should go back and let my men look for it.
At this moment, while passing by a bamboo forest, I heard the sound of the piano coming from the bamboo forest.
Jiang Siming stopped and said in surprise: "There are actually people here?"
"There should be, lord, do you want to go and have a look?"
Jiang Siming nodded and walked in.
After walking through the bamboo forest, I discovered a bamboo forest garden suddenly appeared in front of me. In the yard, a pair of beautiful girls were playing the guqin on the table.
The sound of the piano is melodious, and the two piano sounds, one suppressing and the other joining, work in perfect harmony and are very nice to hear.
Guo Jia couldn't help but close his eyes and enjoy the sound of the piano, but Jiang Siming was different from him, he was watching people.
As for Dian Wei, he just felt baffled as to why the military advisor was so intoxicated when he heard the sound of the piano. Obviously, only fine wine can intoxicate him.
The music played for a while and then ended.
The two girls were about to communicate with each other when suddenly a sigh came from outside the yard.
The two women looked outside the courtyard door at the same time, and were surprised to find a man in green robes who was as handsome as jade standing outside the door.
They had never seen such a handsome man before, and they suddenly felt nervous and shy.
At this time, a middle-aged man walked out of the room and asked cautiously: "May I ask the gentleman outside, why did you come to my Qiao Family Courtyard?"
Jiang Siming smiled and said to the middle-aged man: "Don't get me wrong. I was wandering around with my friends when I heard such a beautiful sound of the piano coming from outside the bamboo forest, so I came over curiously to have a look."
When the two girls heard Jiang Siming say that their piano sounds were nice, they both lowered their heads shyly. Girls in ancient times were so shy.
Jiang Siming had already guessed their identities. They were sisters in Lujiang. They were so good at playing the piano, so beautiful, and they looked similar.
These two must be the legendary Big and Little Joes.
After hearing this, the middle-aged man lowered his guard a little, bowed his hands towards Jiang Siming, and asked: "My lord, Mr. Qiao, since you said that my two daughters' piano sounds are beautiful, why did you sigh just now?"
Jiang Siming said with regret: "I'm not sighing at the sound of the piano, I'm just sighing at the music score. What they played was a incomplete music score."
"Oh? Why did you say that? Do you know what musical score this is?" The middle-aged man's eyes lit up.
Guo Jia was stunned for a moment and thought to himself: "Does the master still know how to play the piano? But I have never seen him play it before."
Jiang Siming smiled slightly and replied: "They played "Guangling San"?"
"Exactly, sir, where did you learn about it? This Guangling San is a musical score that Qiao heard accidentally. Unfortunately, the author of the musical score has passed away and many parts are missing. Qiao still cannot find the complete musical score.
.”
"It's not difficult at all to know the complete story. I just happen to know it." Jiang Siming said.
Mr. Qiao was overjoyed when he heard this. He immediately came over and invited Jiang Siming into the house.
Jiang Siming walked into someone else's yard easily.
"Da Qiao, get up quickly and let your husband play the piano." Qiao Gong urged.
Da Qiao stood up obediently and gave up his position to Jiang Siming.
Jiang Siming sat down without any pretense. When Da Qiao looked at where Jiang Siming was sitting, he saw that it was exactly where he had just been sitting. There must be some residual warmth on it...
Suddenly his face turned red and he walked to his sister, but neither girl wanted to leave. They also wanted to hear whether Jiang Siming could really play the complete "Guangling San".
Jiang Siming adjusted it a little and began to play the complete "Guangling San" with his eyes closed.
He is proficient in all musical instruments and melodies, so he is naturally familiar with this kind of ancient music.
After a cup of tea, Jiang Siming stopped playing and opened his eyes to find that everyone in the yard except Dian Wei had closed their eyes and listened very carefully.
It wasn't until the music stopped that everyone opened their eyes.
"What a masterpiece! It's truly a masterpiece!" Mr. Qiao looked shocked and excited. He pulled his two daughters and bowed to Jiang Siming.
"Sir, you are a great talent. I, Qiao, would like to thank you for your generous gift of music, which has made me regretful for many years."
"Thank you sir~" The two daughters also bowed their heads and did not forget to look at Jiang Siming secretly.
The more I look at it, the more I find Jiang Siming pleasing to my eye.
"Hahahaha! Although this song is good, it has flaws and cannot be considered a masterpiece!"
At this time, another voice came from outside the yard. The owner of the voice came in uninvited, and there was a person following him.
Both of them are about the same age as Jiang Siming, one is a bit handsome and the other is arrogant.
It's just that their handsomeness and arrogance are insignificant compared to Jiang Siming.
What people fear most is being compared.
As soon as the two people came in, their eyes were locked on Er Qiao behind Mr. Qiao. One looked at the younger one and the other looked at the older one.
His eyes were scorching, like a look that wouldn't give up until he got his hands on him.
Duke Qiao frowned subconsciously when he saw them coming in uninvited and speaking shamelessly.
Er Qiao was also a little scared and took a few steps behind his father.
These two people are so rude and not as good as this gentleman at all.
"May I ask your surnames?"
Duke Qiao asked.
The handsome young man had a proud look on his face and said arrogantly: "I'm..."
