Chapter four hundred and ninety first meeting ceremony
Hua Feiyan said with a smile: "It made Prince Xiao laugh." After a pause, she asked: "Unexpectedly, Prince Xiao is also proficient in music."
Liu Xiu was amused by her words and said: "In Miss Hua's eyes, Gu is a vulgar person born as a country farmer?!"
Hearing Liu Xiu's words, Chen Kang's expression suddenly changed, but Hua Feiyan was not nervous at all. She said with a smile: "Feiyan didn't mean that. Does Prince Xiao like the song "Pheasants Flying in the Morning"?"
Liu Xiuxiao asked: "Before I came to Yunxi Pavilion, I had heard that there is nothing in the world that Yunxi Pavilion doesn't know about, just like there are no delicacies in the world that Yunxi Pavilion cannot get."
.So, in Miss Hua’s opinion, should I like the song "Pheasants Flying to the Morning" by Gu Dui, or should I dislike it?"
His question was obviously meant to embarrass me.
Whether a person likes a piece of music or not is a very private matter. I am afraid that no one but himself can know.
Hua Feiyan looked at Liu Xiu for a moment and said, "Feiyan thought that Prince Xiao would not like "Pheasant Flying to the Sky"."
"Oh? Why do you say that?" Liu Xiu asked with interest.
"Prince Xiao is a man with great ambitions, so he naturally disdains the idea of admiring one's own beauty and moaning for no reason." Hua Feiyan said truthfully.
Hearing this, Liu Xiu raised her head and smiled. This Pavilion Master of Yunxi Pavilion is really not an ordinary person. She can be called a female talent just because of her ability to see into people's hearts.
He asked with a smile: "Since Miss Hua knows that I don't like "Pheasant Flying to the Morning", why do I still play this song?"
Hua Feiyan responded fluently: "Feiyan plays a piece of music that Prince Xiao doesn't like, and yet Prince Xiao can still treat Feiyan with courtesy. This just shows Prince Xiao's big heart!"
Liu Xiu blinked and laughed again.
Originally, when Chen Kang told him about Yunxi Pavilion, he felt that it was a bit exaggerated. Now, it seems that Chen Kang was not exaggerating. At least the master of Yunxi Pavilion is indeed a wonderful man, with a sharp mind and a sharp mind.
Insight into people's hearts.
Liu Xiu's impression of Hua Feiyan deepened. He smiled and asked, "Can Miss Hua sing "Pheasants Flying to the Morning"?"
Hua Feiyan nodded. Liu Xiu asked, "Can I borrow Miss Hua's piano?"
After hearing this, Hua Feiyan immediately asked a maid outside the door to bring her piano.
After the maid placed the piano in the box, Liu Xiu stood up and walked over, knelt down in front of the piano, reached out and gently stroked the strings, and the sound of the piano tinkled, crisp and sweet.
Liu Xiu knew how to play the piano, but his skills were not very good. When he went to Taixue, he had dabbled in elegant things such as chess, calligraphy and painting, but just like the "Book of Documents" he studied in Taixue, he was not very good at it.
It's just so-so.
"Pheasants Flying in the Morning" is a very sad song. The lyrics are: Pheasants fly in the morning and sing in harmony. Males and females fly in groups on the mountains. I am alone and sad because I have no room. It is approaching dusk but there is nothing I can do. Sigh, twilight.
There is nothing we can do.
The general meaning is that even pheasants form pairs, but I am already quite old and still single, with no wife and no family background. Oh my, my life is so miserable.
But when Liu Xiu played "Pheasants Flying to the Morning", he not only raised two pitches, but also sped up the tempo, turning this sad and desolate piece of resentment into a "march", which sometimes sounded like thousands of people.
The horses are galloping, and sometimes they are fighting on the battlefield, and they are murderous. Every tone and every tune exudes a chilling atmosphere.
Hua Feiyan originally wanted to sing along with the music, but Liu Xiu's playing was equivalent to changing the entire tune, and she couldn't sing even if she wanted to.
When Liu Xiu's song ended, she said with a bit of helplessness and a bit of admiration: "Prince Xiao has great ambitions, and this little girl is ashamed of herself."
She didn't comment on Liu Xiu's piano skills. In fact, there was nothing to comment on. She only talked about Liu Xiu's state of mind when playing the piano.
Liu Xiu smiled, looked down at the piano under his palm, and said, "It's a good piano."
Hua Feiyan said: "If Prince Xiao likes it, Feiyan can give it to Prince Xiao."
Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "Miss Hua wasted this piano by giving it to me."
Hua Feiyan smiled, took out a piece of bamboo from his sleeve, handed it to Liu Xiu, and said with a smile: "Since Prince Xiao is unwilling to accept Feiyan's piano, I hope Prince Xiao will accept it as a meeting gift."
Long Bo walked up to Hua Feiyan, looked at her with a cold face, then took the bamboo piece in her hand, turned it over and carefully checked it, and found that there was no abnormality before handing it to Liu Xiu.
The latter took it and took a closer look. There were several lines of small characters "Xiu Juan" on the bamboo slices.
"Sun Li, a native of Huaicheng, Hanoi, is thirty-five years old. Sun Mao is the younger brother of Sun Deng. Li is cruel and easy to kill, impulsive and irritable, and is a reckless man! Li has no ambitions, is timid and afraid of the strong, and is like a rat! Mao is prone to being shot by dogs.
, with more than 100,000 soldiers, we landed in Wen County, with nearly 100,000 soldiers."
Just a few lines of words on this piece of bamboo contain a huge amount of information.
Sun Li is the chief general of the Qingdu Army gathered in Dangyin, and Sun Li's eldest brother Sun Mao is the leader of the Qingdu Army.
The bamboo fragment not only analyzed Sun Li's character, but also provided two very important pieces of information. First, Sun Mao was in Quanshe and had more than 100,000 soldiers under his command. wavv
Sun Deng had nearly 100,000 troops in Wen County. If these two pieces of news are true, it means that Sun Mao and Sun Deng had no intention of sending troops to reinforce Dangyin, or in other words, Sun Li did not send troops to his army at all.
The two brothers asked for help.
After Liu Xiu read the writing on the bamboo piece, he put the bamboo piece into his sleeve and asked with a smile: "Miss Hua, what does this mean?"
Hua Feiyan said: "It's just a meeting gift. I hope it can be helpful to Prince Xiao."
Liu Xiu said meaningfully: "If it is true, it will naturally be of great help. If it is false, it will not only be helpless, but also cause great harm."
Hua Feiyan said: "Today, Feiyan can guarantee that it is true, but after today, Feiyan can't guarantee it. The world is constantly changing, and Feiyan can only know what's happening today, but he can't predict tomorrow."
What she said made Liu Xiu believe it. He nodded with a smile, then stood up and said, "It's a worthwhile trip to see Miss Hua in Yunxi Pavilion today."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Long Yuan. The latter understood, took out a wooden sign from his arms, put it on the table, and said: "Miss Hua can use this sign to pay for the king's drink today in the king's palace."
Ask for it.”
Chen Kang said quickly: "No, no, no! King Xiao, we have agreed that today I will host a banquet for King Xiao to enhance the friendship of the landlord."
Liu Xiu smiled at Chen Kang and said, "Prefect Chen's banquet belongs to Prefect Chen, and this," he pointed to the wooden sign on the table, "is my affection for Miss Hua.
"
Pies in the sky are not free. It was only the first time that Hua Feiyan and I met, and she sent him such a big gift. It was probably because she wanted something.
Liu Xiu asked Long Yuan to leave a wooden sign for King Xiao. The implication was that you can come to me at any time and I will receive you.
The connotation of his words was relatively obscure, so Chen Kang didn't catch it, but Hua Feiyan did. She picked up the wooden sign, saluted Liu Xiufu, and said, "Feiyan, thank you, Prince Xiao!"
Liu Xiu smiled at her, nodded again, and walked out. Seeing that Liu Xiu had left, Chen Kang naturally would not stay. He hurriedly followed Liu Xiu and left Yunxi Pavilion together.
When he got outside, he reminded in a low voice: "Prince Xiao, this Miss Hua is not simple!"
Liu Xiu showed disapproval and said, "She's just a weak woman." As he spoke, he said to Chen Kang, "I'm going back home. Thank you very much, Governor Chen, for the banquet today!"
"Oh, Prince Xiao is too polite. Isn't this a disgrace to the official?"
Liu Xiu said goodbye to Chen Kang and returned to his mansion. In the carriage, Zhu carefully looked at the bamboo pieces sent by Hua Feiyan, frowned and asked: "Your Majesty, can what is written on it be true?"
"Ah think, why did she lie to me?"
"Maybe... maybe Yunxi Pavilion has already had an affair with the Qingdu Army!"
After hearing what he said, Liu Xiu nodded and said, "This possibility is not ruled out, but the cost for her to do so is too high."
If she deliberately spreads false news to herself, there is no doubt whether she will be deceived or not. The Yunxi Pavilion she has worked so hard to manage will definitely be destroyed in one day.
To pay such a high price in exchange for an uncertain benefit, Hua Feiyan's talent does not seem like someone who can do such a stupid thing.
Zhu thought about it carefully and murmured: "Could it be that everything written above is true?!"
"You can't say that. I have to see first what she wants from me."
In the evening of that day, Liu Xiu had finished dinner and was reading in the study. Long Yuan lightly knocked on the door and said, "My lord!"
"come in."
The door opened and Long Yuan walked into the study and said, "Miss Hua is here, now in the hall."
Yo! She is really here! Liu Xiu put down the slip in his hand, stood up, and said with a smile: "Let's go! Let's go see this Miss Hua."
When Liu Xiu entered the hall, Hua Feiyan was kneeling on the couch, drinking tea with slow and elegant movements. This time she was not wearing a veil, and her true appearance was completely revealed.
Hua Feiyan is not a stunning woman like Yin Lihua, nor is she an attractive woman like Guo Shengtong, but a girl with a fairy spirit, who is cold and proud.
When seeing her, the first thing people notice is not her appearance, but her temperament.
If you look closely at her appearance, you will see that she is a very beautiful girl. She is not very old, only seventeen or eighteen years old at best.
This surprised Liu Xiu. If he remembered correctly, when Chen Kang told him about Yunxi Pavilion, he mentioned that Yunxi Pavilion had been in Yecheng for seven or eight years.
But seven or eight years ago, Hua Feiyan was only about ten years old. How could a ten-year-old girl be able to open Yunxi Pavilion in Yecheng? This is incredible.
Just when Liu Xiu was secretly wondering, Hua Feiyan had already stood up, walked up to Liu Xiu, gave a salute, and said: "Feiyan pays homage to Prince Xiao!"
"Miss Hua is free of charge."
"Thank you, Prince Xiao!"
Hua Feiyan stood up and saw Liu Xiu staring at her intently. She asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Is there still rice grains stuck to Feiyan's face?"
Liu Xiu was amused by her words, and waved his hand to Hua Feiyan, motioning for her to sit down. After the two took their seats, Liu Xiu explained: "I heard that there are seven or eight Yunxi Pavilions in Yecheng.
years."
"To be precise, it has been open in Yecheng for ten years."
"Ten years?! So ten years ago, Miss Hua was just a child, right?"
Hua Feiyan asked with a smile: "Prince Xiao doesn't think it was me who opened Yunxi Pavilion, right?"
Liu Xiu looked at her puzzled, as if asking, aren't you the master of Yunxi Pavilion?
As if sensing Liu Xiu's doubts, Hua Feiyan said: "Yunxi Pavilion was opened by the father-in-law. Feiyan is just a daughter who inherited her father's business."
