Chapter 115 Performance of the Contract (Part 2)(1/2)

The string sound was first raised, like flowing water, then it slid into the silver bottle like jade beads, jumping lightly and crisply, but Zhou Ehuang sang to the sound of the string sound that seemed to be running:

The flower path and snow pavilion do not appear.

The light of Jinling is shining in the sky, and the curtain of the Tanghua table is so simple that it is a long time to be tempted, but only to cry.

Five-stringed pipa and breeze, love songs and essays.

The bright moon is the most thriving, and the sound of jade beads falls, expressing their wishes.

Bounce back to loneliness.

The sound of the piano is like flowing water and frost is about to collapse, and the ice is swallowed and slapped in a hurry, and it is like flying swallows rising from the morning and evening, wind and rain are trapped in the eaves nest. The strings make people feel melancholy, but the resentment in disappointment also hides some hope.

Lin Wanzhen, who closed her eyes and was immersed in the piano, opened her beautiful eyes and turned to Luo Xiaoyao with a melancholy face, and whispered: "The round table where the senior brother hid that day, is its decoration embroidered with crabapple flowers?"

Luo Xiaoyao listened to the meaning of missing in the piano, and thought of Xiao Muyun in his heart. He suddenly heard Lin Wanzhen's questioning. In his doubts, he suddenly remembered that the decoration on the round table was embroidered with crabapple flowers. He thought of Zhou Ehuang's piano strings and vaguely guessed that the person she missed in the singing was her. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but replied in a low voice: "Go back first."

Lin Wan really thought that she knew what he was thinking. She smiled with a hint of cunning and nodded. As Luo Xiaoyao leaned through the flowers, the breeze slowly jumped out of the courtyard wall and disappeared into the night. With his skills, Zhou Ehuang, who had no martial arts skills, was completely unaware of it.

In the east courtyard hall, when Luo Xiaoyao and the others returned, Zhe Deshou, who was chatting with Shang You, smiled and said, "But the matter is done?"

Luo Xiaoyao sighed softly, but Lin Wanzhen responded: "Since ancient times, I have heard that the rescued people have repaid their bodies, but I never thought that the rescued people would like to promise them. Alas, I bounced back to the loneliness... I am afraid that this girl in Zhou will be bounced until dawn."

Zhe Deshou was stunned and looked at Luo Xiaoyao with a slightly red face and awkward smile. He thought about it, but he guessed the reason. He couldn't help but sigh, "Miss Zhou is not aware of the intense feelings. The pain of love cannot make her innocent state of mind..."

Luo Xiaoyao nodded and smiled bitterly: "That's true, I can't meet her to avoid her from getting stuck."

"It's not good if you don't see me." Zhe Deshou shook his head and said, "She is a girlish and chivalrous spirit. When she sees Brother Luo not only handsome, she can fly over the eaves and walls, and kills evil, it should be the one she yearns for, and it's natural to have feelings for her."

"And she rarely goes out now, and what she sees is not very broad." Lin Wanzhen smiled and continued, "But she doesn't know that young talents and heroes in the world are not the only senior brothers..."

"As Miss Wanzhen said," Zhe Deshou nodded, "She had just started to fall in love, as if she was following a dream. It has been nearly two years. If she didn't say it clearly, it would really make her fall into a devil after a long time..."

Luo Xiaoyao smiled bitterly and said, "I am too clumsy to say anything, but I don't know how to make a point, alas..."

"Hehe," Lin Wanzhen smiled: "Senior brother can create sword moves, and his spirit and talent are not weak. Why not write a poem to make a poem? With Miss Zhou's talent, you should be able to understand it."

Luo Xiaoyao was afraid that Zhou Ehuang would be more and more deeply in love, but instead caused love debts. On the way back, he thought about how to reject Zhou Ehuang. He was shy by nature. It was not easy to ask him to express his affection or reject her affection, but he was as Lin Wanzhen said, and his literary talent was extraordinary. When he heard this, he asked the arc guard to take a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, pondered for a moment, and wrote with Zhou Ehuang's lyrics:

The lotus comes out of the water to remove the green yarn.

The jade is shining with beautiful flowers, the breeze brings away, the fragrance of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemums, and the lake and rivers are fading in the south.

Seeing this, Lin Wanzhen next to him pouted and said angrily: "Senior Brother, you should be praising Miss Zhou, right? You can call her the number one beauty in Jiangnan... I will praise her better than the elegant and beautiful beauty of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemums. What about Senior Sister Mu Yun?

Senior brother will never say that he is not worthy of Miss Zhou, right? Hehe, Junior sister, I want to see how Senior Brother Xiaque writes? Maybe the little girl will also criticize herself and reply, haha, then you will come and go, or forget Senior Sister Xiao..."

After asking several questions, he sneered twice, which made Shangyou and Zhe Deshou secretly amused, as if he felt that what Lin Wanzhen said was reasonable, and they looked at each other and nodded.

All of a sudden, three pairs of eyes looked at Luo Xiaoyao, but his face turned pale and red. He really wanted to praise Zhou Ehuang first, but the second half of the text was ashamed of himself, and he refused. Now, he heard what Lin Wanzhen said, and he couldn't help but think about it. His eyes turned to the "Shuilong Yin" placed on the table. His thoughts moved, dipped them in ink, and then wrote:

The dragon roars and clouds, the phoenix and wu are in love, and they have already made an appointment with the ends of the sea and the world.

Smile and look at the whistle and snow, the wind blows and waves, writing forever.

Unintentionally quiet the guest's house.

"I have no intention of calming down the guest's house... OK, good word." Zhe Deshou smiled.

"Let Brother Zhe laugh," Luo Xiaoyao put his pen on his pen, smiled slightly, turned to Lin Wanzhen, and pondered: "I think... Junior sister can use this word with her when I leave Jiangning Mansion."

"It should be so that Miss Zhou will not be frustrated or unintentional to practice." Lin Wanzhen nodded.

"If I go, it may distract her. I will let Junior Brother Shang and Junior Sister go with me tomorrow night. Just like Brother Zhe and Junior Sister, Miss Zhou is born with a chivalrous nature, yearning for flying over the eaves and walls, and being chivalrous and righteous. However, due to the limited environment, she does not have a broad understanding. She only cares about me. She is also the first time she loves her, and she will inevitably fall in love with her by mistake..."

"Let her divert her sight? Hehe, that's feasible." But when Luo Xiaoyao said something like a master in love, Lin Wanzhen smiled.

"This..." Shang You was stunned when he heard it.

Seeing his face surprised and suspicious, Lin Wanzhen said, "It's been more than two years since she remembers it. She must be a person who is fickle, but the relationship between her... is mostly because of her yearning for chivalrousness. Senior Brother Shang is handsome and talented, and goes together to show off a martial arts skills, which can increase her horizons, or broaden her mind and take obsessions..."

"Is this a reason?" Shang You's face turned red when he heard Lin Wanzhen's praising him. He smiled embarrassedly.

"How can I not do it?" Lin Wanzhen chuckled and said, "If it is possible, I want to bring the senior brothers and brothers in the academy together, and they all fly over the eaves and walls in front of her, making her confused, so that she knows that the only one who can be a hero in the world is not the only one who can be a righteous man."

"Haha... Miss Wanzhen's intelligence really convinced Zhe." Zhe Deshou laughed and said, "How many women in the world yearn for their original intentions because they do not have a broad understanding of their original intentions and have no knowledge of them, and they will meet people who are not good at it. If there are a group of talents to choose from, they will definitely have the intention of understanding. However, if they know the ugly and goodness of people's hearts, they will have less sadness."

Luo Xiaoyao thought of Xu Wenxiang's experience in his heart and couldn't help but sigh.

On the night of the next day, after Lin Wanzhen and Shangyou went to Zhou's house, Zhe Deshou asked the Arrow Guard to get a jar of fine wine and invited Luo Xiaoyao to drink lightly on the pavilion in the courtyard. After tribute to each other, Zhe Deshou said, "Brother Luo, can you know why Mr. Jiang agrees to your participation in the assassination?"

Luo Xiaoyao was stunned, not understanding what Zhe De De said for a moment, and said suspiciously: "Please give me advice..."

"Instructions? I dare not." Zhe Deshou shook his head and smiled, "Two days before Zhe arrived in Bianjing, I heard that the emperor had visited the princess's mansion and had a chat with the academy students?"

Luo Xiaoyao felt something in his heart, hesitated for a moment, nodded and responded: "That's right."

"The day before leaving Beijing, Mr. Jiang had a conversation with Zhe and mentioned this matter..." Zhe Deshou paused and said, "In this chaotic era, with the background of the Luo brothers, he can be regarded as a noble person, and he is not in office in the court, so he should not take risks."

"Mr. Jiang only realized that Senior Yi had good intentions after hearing the words of the emperor. He used decades of hard work to keep the students sincere and know the righteousness, so he did not want to get rid of the passionate feelings of Brother Luo."

As Zhe De De said, as the young master of Luo Xiaoyao Tongbao Pavilion, he did not have to take risks. Even if he had the intention to help the Great Zhou court, he could send the masters in the Pavilion to go. Luo Xiaoyao recalled Jiang Qiubai's hesitation and difficulty in deciding at that time, and he must have struggled in his heart. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

"Zhe has something, but he wants the Luo brothers to agree."

"Brother, please give me instructions."

"If this incident is dangerous, Brother Luo should be able to protect Miss Wanzhen first... Don't act irritably."

"This..." Luo Xiaoyao didn't expect him to say this, but was stunned.

"Zhe knew that the Luo brothers were not greedy for life and fear of death." Zhe Deshou smiled and filled Luo Xiaoyao with fine wine, raised his glass toast and drank it all, and then said: "Zhe received the kindness of the emperor and was also in the military. Whether it was the leader or the leader of the enemy, it was all right, let alone the generals seeking kindness... It should be without regrets."

"Why did Brother Zhe say this?"

"The inheritance of voice education by Senior Yi only depends on the talents of his descendants. Brother Luo and the students of the academy are all the hard work of Senior Yi, and he will be a model for this generation in the future. You should know that in this chaotic world, many young and promising people have wasted their lives because of their lack of skills, or have failed in their careers, or have helped the evildoers. With the passionate blood of Brother Luo's family and country feelings, they can pass on the voice education of Senior Yi."

Seeing Luo Xiaoyao's attempt to speak and argue, he said with a righteous expression: "Brothers Luo should know the key to educating people in academy, and promote virtue in prosperous times and establish loyalty and righteousness in troubled times. Why do some Confucian teachers worship him and protect the way? It is because their achievements last for thousands of years..."

"Xiaoyao has shallow knowledge, how can he be compared with his ancestors?"

"Brother Luo is a person with ambition." Zhe Deshou shook his head and said, "How can you be careless? The emperor and Mr. Jiang's expectations are all aimed at the awakening of your generation. With the sincerity of Brother Luo, you will definitely lead the academy students to serve the peace in the world."

Luo Xiaoyao was thinking, and after a moment of indulgence, he asked, "What does Brother Zhe think of Junior Sister Wanzhen?"

Zhe Deshou knew that he had intentionally changed the topic, and sighed in his heart, and said with a smile: "Miss Wanzhen is quick-witted and has a moderate approach to advance and retreat. She is actually a rare and rare woman in Zhe... I think that Lin is good at teaching women, so he should be an amazing person. Brother Luo will definitely introduce him to me in the future."

"Commander Lin was a hero in Jingnan." Luo Xiaoyao nodded and smiled, "Junior Brother Shang said that he was spoiling Wanzhen, but he had never seen her willfulness."

"Yes." Zhe Deshou nodded and said, "She is generous and has a proper speech, and she is really good at teaching."

"I Guan Shang's junior brother has feelings for her." Luo Xiaoyao chuckled and said, "It is feasible to make a move..."

"Wanzhen's knowledge is very comparable to an ordinary woman. I think she has his own insights in her heart, but I can control it." Zhe Deshou shook his head and then chuckled: "Hehe, Senior Yi and other wise men in the academy have good teaching skills, so that all students can know the righteousness of the country, but they have not taught them to be affectionate. They are all obedient and clumsy words, and a bunch of stupid wood."

Luo Xiaoyao couldn't help but smile, raised his glass and laughed, "Brother Zhe is right, a pile of wood, haha... Come on, toast to this pile of wood to spread out in the future."

"Haha... OK." Zhe Deshou laughed happily, raised his glasses and drank with Luo Xiaoyao.

Suddenly, footsteps came from the aisle of the atrium. The two of them looked up, but when they saw Manager Zhu leading a man in black, Luo Xiaoyao said happily: "Mr. Mo..."

Everyone was the one who came. Zhe Deshouzi also met him in the prefecture. Seeing this, he got up to greet Luo Xiaoyao and brought him to the cross-age hall to take a seat.

After sitting down, Mo Bushan hesitated for a moment and smiled, "My mom came to meet General Zhe and Prince Luo at the order of King Nanping, but he didn't know what happened? Haha, can you tell me?"

Guo Rong issued an order and Gao Baorong to use the secondment, so he would not express the assassination of Liao envoys in the imperial edict. As soon as he met, he began to ask straight to the point.

Zhe, Luo and the other two looked at each other and smiled. Zhe Deshou nodded and said, "If you have any luck, Mr. Mo is running around, just relying on his help. How can you not tell me..."

Then he told him about asking him to help assassinate the Liao envoy. Mo Bushan was surprised. He heard that Lin Wanzhen recommended him to come and said with a wry smile: "Miss Lin looks down on Mo. Oh, has Miss Lin also come to Jiangning Mansion?"

"Wanzhen Junior Sister Wanzhen is a womanly person, how could she not come?"

"Junior sister?" Mo Bushan looked a little suspicious and then smiled, "Haha, Miss Lin and Mr. Luo are already brothers and sisters of the same school, so it is delightful."

Accompanied by footsteps, Lin Wanzhen's voice came, "Mr. Mo wants to drink and celebrate..."

While speaking, Lin Wanzhen and Shang You had already stepped into the hall. Mo Bushan stood up to greet the two of them, and then smiled and said, "If it is Miss Lin and Mr. Luo are willing to entertain you, Mo should be lucky."

"It's too late, but there is no food to serve." Luo Xiaoyao smiled and said, "If Mr. Mo doesn't dislike it, he should be pickled vegetables and wine now..."

Mo Bushan laughed, "It's not good to have good wine without delicacies. Mo will try it again tomorrow."

Everyone laughed when they heard this. After Lin Wanzhen and Shang You took their seats, Luo Xiaoyao asked, "Is it a meeting with Miss Zhou?"

Lin Wanzhen nodded, "I met you first, but Miss Zhou is both disappointed and happy."

"When I went tonight, they were resting before the hour of Hai. Junior Sister Wanzhen was afraid of being shocked by the maids, so I let me use the loss and make the servants sleep well." Shangyou said embarrassedly: "Then the junior sister knocked on her window door and reported her identity and purpose..."

Lin Wanzhen smiled and continued, "I think no one knows about her meeting with her senior brother. After knowing my identity, she opened the door and saw Senior Brother Shang on the corridor. She was shocked and suspicious, and asked Senior Brother Luo where you are..."

Lin Wanzhen paused for a moment and said, "I told her that my senior brother is in the north and is diligent in martial arts with a group of teachers, so I cannot come. Miss Zhou's face was disappointed. When I said that it was entrusted by my senior brother to teach her martial arts, I turned my worries into joy."

"I asked me again if I had tried to teach the evil young man of the Liu family a lesson, and I told her that the heroic and righteous things that day were not my actions." When he said this, Lin Wanzhen laughed, "Miss Zhou was simply disappointed again. I didn't let her look down on her. Hehe, she just flew over the eaves and walls in front of her..."

"Haha..." Shangyou laughed and continued, "At that time, Junior Sister Wanzhen used her light skills, sometimes left and right, sometimes up and down, but she made Miss Zhou look stunned. After a long time, she came back to her senses and invited me to the room."

"Senior Brother Shang thought it was important that women's boudoir should not be involved. Although he was invited and did not go in, he went to the pavilion in the courtyard alone. After I went in, I taught her the introduction to the "Taisu Heart Sutra" and explained the essence of it. But I thought it was not appropriate to stay for a long time, so I made an appointment with her to meet every night at the hour of Hai."

"Then Miss Zhou asked me that I had free time during the day, and I was willing to teach her during the day, so I asked her how she met. She thought she was afraid that she would be wronged, but she changed her words when she saw me agreeing..." Lin Wanzhen smiled, "After I asked, I just said that I wanted me to serve as a maid... The maid named Yanyan, as her distant relative, to arrive at her house every afternoon."

Luo Xiaoyao nodded, "It's so great. Her house is close to the Longwu Army Yamen. It's dangerous to sneak in and out every night."

"I put the words and formulas of the senior brother's words and the rules of the Qi Chapter into a secret bag and handed them to her, and told her that if I haven't left for three days... she can take them apart and watch them."
To be continued...
