Since King Xuan said this, Wen Yao was not polite. He ordered Zhiqin to go find the musical instrument and said to everyone: "I'm not prepared. It will take some time."
"It's okay, County Lord, you like to recite poems and compose poems the most. Can you make a good one these days?"
Prince Xuan was talking to Gao Chuwei. Her grandmother was the eldest princess, the emperor's sister, but she had passed away, and her family was becoming increasingly lonely. Her title as county head was requested by her grandmother before she died, and it protected her in this life.
Gao Chuwei, a quiet and elegant girl with a bookish air, said calmly: "I only got one sentence, so I went to His Highness Prince Xuan to complete the next sentence. I have heard for a long time that His Highness is a great talent.
That day I was watching the koi carps swimming under the warm sun, and I came across a poem that says, "Fish look to the sun when the sun rises," but I couldn't think of the next sentence. You are all very talented, so let's brainstorm.
Thanks."
Wen Yao also pondered, the county chief was really talented, just this sentence was enough for people to ponder.
Everyone was racking their brains for a while. Even Yi Junyue thought for a long time and finally shook his head, "I can't imagine that the county master will really give us problems!"
King Xuan laughed: "Miss Yi has no inspiration, and I am even less able. Miss Wen, what about you?"
Princess Fenyang said unhappily: "Second brother, why are you trying to catch Miss Wen today? I can tell you, she is Huahua's friend, be careful Huahua settles a score with you."
Mentioning Yuanhua, King Xuan also had a headache. She had a bad temper and would dare to hit anyone. Now that everyone has grown up, Yuanhua has restrained herself a lot. When they were young, they studied together in the study room. She was a proper little domineering girl.
King Xuan explained: "Fenyang, don't misunderstand me. Am I also concerned about Miss Wen?"
Wen Yao said: "Thank you for your concern. I have one thing to say, County Lord, please advise. When the sun rises, fish face the warmth. It is a scenery and a natural imagination. Fish also face the warm sun. I once passed by a snow mountain and saw birds.
They all return to their nests one after another. I wonder if the saying 'birds returning to their nests after snow' is quite appropriate!"
"The snowbird returns to its nest?"
Gao Chu thought for a moment and his eyes lit up: "Yes, I didn't expect Miss Wen's literary talent to be so good. Let's have a good chat some other time."
An expression that makes you feel like a confidant.
Wen Yao waved her hands modestly: "I don't dare to be praised by the County Lord. I'm just a blind cat who has encountered a dead mouse. County Lord, please don't praise me. I was born to work hard and I can't compare to the County Lord's leisurely elegance."
King Xuan said: "Miss Wen is a business wizard. The Wen family owes its current status to Miss Wen. At her age, it is remarkable that she can be on an equal footing with those giant businessmen."
Wen Yao became even more modest: "The matter of copper odor is not worth mentioning. His Highness King Xuan is promoting the daughter of the people."
While talking, Zhiqin came back with an erhu in his hand, which attracted everyone's surprised looks: "What kind of instrument is this? It's the first time I've seen it, and it looks quite strange."
The counselor behind King Xuan twitched his lips. Of course he knew him, but he didn't expect that Miss Wen would choose this to perform.
"This thing is called an erhu, and there is also a suona, which are all folk musical instruments. When I used to go out, the driver escorting the carriage would play the erhu. I learned some from him in my free time, and it was a shame."
Wen Yao was sitting in her seat and started to play the erhu, and the sad tune was like crying. Everyone's expressions became more and more strange. What kind of music is this? People who listen to it want to cry.
Gao Chuwei couldn't bear it at first, her eyes were red, and she thought of her deceased grandmother.
King Xuan's eyes were complicated, she was really a smart woman, maybe she saw something, she really didn't care about herself.
The smarter he became, the more determined King Xuan was in his thoughts.
After finishing the song, Princess Fenyang said: "Miss Wen, what kind of song is this? It's very sad. It's the first time I've heard it, but it's pretty good. It can make people want to cry, which is also the charm of the song."
Wen Yao had no expression on her face: "It's a funeral song. Sorry, please forgive me. Actually, I only learned this one. Next time I will bring the suona. It's sad and joyful. There is a saying that goes well. When the suona sounds, it means either happiness or joy."
For funerals, I specially learned a festive song and played it for everyone."
"Pfft!"
Princess Fenyang couldn't help laughing, and Yi Junyue couldn't help it either. In the end, everyone laughed. This Miss Wen was quite interesting.
Prince Xuan said awkwardly: "Miss Wen is quite unique. I admire you very much."
Yi Junyue also saw what he was thinking and interrupted: "Fresh river seafood is prepared on the boat, including drunken shrimps and fresh fish soup. It is very delicious. Let's try it."
Asking people to bring food and wine, eating and drinking, the gentle and gentle things will be covered up.
After the meal, it was supposed to be time to disperse, but King Xuan refused to leave. He didn't say anything, so everyone had to stay with them.
Wen Yao stood up and said, "Excuse me."
She wanted to go to the clean room because she wanted to see what King Xuan wanted to do with her. She wanted to give him a chance to talk to him alone and see how he behaved. She would not give up until the target was lost.
Sure enough, when Wen Yao came out of the clean room, she saw King Xuan standing by the boat waiting for her.
"His Royal Highness King Xuan."
"Ms. Wen, the scenery is so beautiful. Come and chat with me."
Wen Yao asked: "What does the prince want to talk about?"
"Miss Wen is twenty years old and has contributed a lot to the family. I have heard about you and admire you very much. I am willing to accept you as my concubine. If you are interested, I will come to propose marriage to you someday.
There are only good things for the Wen family."
"Your Wen family has made a lot of money, but you don't have a reliable backer. Didn't you just want to find a backer when you got engaged to the county prince's house? Now, I am willing to be your backer."
King Xuan was full of confidence, waiting for Wen Yao to be ecstatic. The concubine of his palace was already a high-ranking member of the Wen family.
But Wen Yao smiled and shook her head: "Wen Yao is a merchant's daughter, and she doesn't dare to reach out to the prince. Thank you for the prince's love, but Wen Yao is not worthy of it."
King Xuan's expression changed: "You should think it over carefully before speaking."
"Don't think about it, I thought clearly."
"Why?"
Wen Yao said: "Although a commoner's daughter is a merchant's daughter, she also knows that she would rather be a commoner's wife than a rich man's concubine. The county prince's palace is also the wife of the royal family, not a concubine.
Not to mention that I don’t have a good temper. Yuan Zixuan got a prostitute to disgust me. I won’t ask for this marriage. King Xuan feels that a concubine already thinks highly of me, but with my temper, I’m afraid
It makes the prince’s family uneasy.”
Wen Yao's meaning is obvious. I have a bad temper and a high spirit. You, a concubine of the prince's palace, really don't like me. If you want to be tough, then your backyard will be unsafe and no one will be able to live well.
King Xuan was silent, with his head lowered in a cold and distant manner, distant and arrogant, and finally smiled: "You are very good."
Wen Yao: "Thank you for the compliment."
"Your sister is quite cute. I heard that you dote on your sister very much. I will invite her out to play some other time."
Nuan Nuan's face was expressionless. He was talking about pampering in the past and not in the future.
"Your Majesty, please take your leave."
King Xuan looked at Wen Yao's back and smiled meaningfully. He was so determined by the Wen family.
