Zhitang was quite a drinker, but after three glasses of wine in succession, no matter how good he was, he couldn't help but feel a burning sensation and dizziness. For a moment, a red light surged up, and he looked like a peach blossom. He raised his slender hands and held his forehead slightly.
Xiao Yuan watched from behind, surprised and anxious, wondering what happened to the young lady today? Does Mr. Zheng have magical powers or something? Usually those stinky old men spend a lot of money to win over Miss Su, but even when facing Miss Su Gongzi, she still smiles politely. As for drinking, Miss always only tastes it lightly. How could she drink three drinks in a row like today? Besides, you still take the initiative to toast? This...if this is really drunk, wouldn't it be an advantage to this annoying Young Master Zheng?
Thinking of this, Xiao Yuan worriedly said: "Miss, drink slower..."
Zhitang opened his slightly blurred eyes, shook his head with a smile, and said: "It doesn't matter, if you can get this song, it's not an exaggeration to get drunk here today."
It can be seen that Zhi Tang is extremely happy today.
"Drunk?" Yingping stretched out his hand and gently placed it on the jade pot.
Seeing Yingping's sudden stop, Zhi Tang's eyes flashed. She didn't know what Mr. Zheng was going to do next, but judging from her daily experience of interacting with those masters and gentlemen, there was a high probability that Mr. Zheng would pick up the wine flask and fill up his fourth cup——
It is probably the dream of many men to make a beautiful woman get drunk in front of him, right?
Feeling the strange color flashing through Yingping's eyes, Zhi Tang suddenly felt helpless in his heart, thinking that after all, Mr. Zheng was no different from those annoying men.
But Yingping's subsequent words made Zhitang feel a little surprised——
"I've heard for a long time that the girl's piano skills are famous in Weishui. I wanted to discuss this with the girl. Wouldn't it be a pity if the girl got drunk?" After saying that, Yingping actually held the jade pot in front of him and continued: "Drink, drink. It's best to be in a drunken state, so you can start talking without getting completely drunk, isn't it wonderful?"
Zhidang looked at 'Mr. Zheng' in surprise, not expecting him to say such a thing, but in the end he judged a gentleman with a villain's heart.
"Since I know that Tang is asking for nothing, I still ask the young master to give me some advice——"
...
After half a day of pleasant conversation, Yingping and Zhitang became quite familiar with each other.
The conversation between the two was almost entirely about the piano, so there wasn't much embarrassment. As soon as the last moment passed, Yingping offered to leave first and promised to visit again next time if he was free to discuss the matter together.
After sending Yiyi home, Yingping and Ye Changshan walked towards the palace.
Along the way, Yingping didn't speak, he just stared blankly ahead.
Seeing Yingping's silence, Ye Changshan didn't come forward to disturb him, but just followed him silently.
Since the death of his senior brother, Yingping's whole body has become duller, and the thoughts in his mind have become increasingly elusive. Although Yingping often acted clever before, Ye Changshan could probably guess whether the water in his stomach was bad or good just by looking at his eyes. What about now? Ying Ping's expression was either laughing indulgently when he was in a sensual mood, or he was calmly smiling like the grandmother next door.
Ye Changshan also tried to guess Yingping's thoughts, but after several more attempts, they all failed. Over time, he gave up this attempt - anyway, as long as Yingping's safety was not threatened, as for the rest, I can't control that much.
Looking at Yingping, whose expression became more solemn, Ye Changshan just thought that he was worried about going to the Queen Mother tomorrow to pay her respects. Every time he thinks about this matter, Ye Changshan always sympathizes with Yingping and wants to be respectful to his enemy. Not only that, but he also calls her 'mother', which is indeed unbearable for ordinary people.
Thinking of this, Ye Changshan couldn't help but stretched out his palm, ready to pat his good brother's shoulder to express relief. But just when his palm was about to fall on Yingping's shoulder, Yingping suddenly raised his head and said something coldly——
"I want to sleep with her-"
Hearing this inexplicable sentence, Ye Changshan almost stumbled and fell behind Yingping. He quickly supported Yingping's shoulders with his hands to maintain his balance.
"What did you say?" Ye Changshan asked after standing firm.
"I said I wanted to sleep with her."
"Who? With whom?"
"She! Zhidang! Who else could it be?" Yingping said matter-of-factly.
"Are you just thinking about this in a daze?" Ye Changshan's expression was full of unreasonableness.
"if not?"
"I thought you were thinking..." Recalling his unnecessary worries just now, Ye Changshan felt helpless. He made a gentle 'cut' sound, and then added: "Forget it, even if you say it so loudly, You stinking rascal!"
"Then I..." Yingping looked around and found that there were people coming and going at this moment. It seemed that it was not appropriate for him to be so straightforward.
"Wouldn't it be better to be more tactful, subtle, and elegant?"
"Well..." Yingping held his chin in thought, his expression gradually becoming serious. Then, he looked at Ye Changshan and said solemnly: "I want to sleep with her for the rest of my life!"
Ye Changshan rolled his eyes and thought to himself, after all, don't you want to sleep with someone?
However, after such a disturbance, the silent atmosphere disappeared instantly. Seeing that Yingping had returned to his previous liveliness, Ye Changshan walked up to walk side by side with him and asked: "Let me ask you, what happened in Lan Qiufang just now?" Why did you still need that thousand taels of silver when you came? I almost forgot about it if you didn’t mention it.”
From the moment Ye Changshan met Yingping, Yingping has always had the status of a 'little rich man'. He has always spent money lavishly, and he has never cared about money. Although one thousand taels is a lot, it is not worth mentioning to Yingping, who is already the king of a country. That is why Ye Changshan is surprised by Yingping. This kind of behavior is flat.
"Why? You don't understand this?" Yingping looked at Ye Changshan with contempt, thinking, no wonder he asked me to help him even hold hands.
"I don't understand," Ye Changshan admitted directly.
"Then what would you do if it were you?"
"Me?" Ye Changshan was stunned. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Of course, don't mention it and let her keep the money."
Yingping squinted at Ye Changshan, then shook his head helplessly, showing an expression that said, "You can't teach a kid."
"What's wrong?" Ye Changshan was a little confused, wondering if he was right?
"That's superficial!" Yingping said pretending to be profound.
"Why are you so superficial?"
"Who is Zhidang?"
"Zhidang is..."
As soon as the word 'dancing girl' came to his lips, Ye Changshan swallowed it again.
"Isn't she just the dancer on the flower boat? Is there anything we can't say about this?"
Seeing that Yingping didn't care, Ye Changshan nodded in agreement.
"Although Zhitang is a dancer, she is different from other dancers. Although she lives in the mortal world, she is very noble in her heart."
Ye Changshan thought carefully and nodded vigorously.
Indeed, if Zhidang had been willing to accept her fate, I am afraid she would have fallen into the world long ago. How could she be so cold and self-loving as she is today?
"Actually, she also knows her identity and future destiny in her heart..." At this point, Yingping's voice gradually deepened, and it seemed that he also felt the same way about Zhitang's bumpy experience. He continued: "But precisely because of this, her desire to 'be normal' is stronger than others."
Ye Changshan was silent. He looked up at Yingping. At this time, he not only understood Zhitang somewhat, but also seemed to have a bit of Yingping today.
"On the surface, she is glamorous, the number one in Lan Qiu Fang, a courteous lady, a master of musical instruments, a talented girl... But these are just nice gimmicks. To put it bluntly, she is still a dancer after all. In the end, she still couldn't escape the arrangement of fate. She would eventually become a plaything in the hands of men, but the object of her pleasure was not ordinary people, but the higher-ups and dignitaries. But to her, what difference did this make? "
Ye Changshan stopped talking. At this time, he even felt a little pity for Zhitang's situation and experience.
Yes, although I am now a close disciple of my husband, and my cultivation has reached the Tianji realm, and I am also a royal guard of the current Holy Emperor, but these combined are not as happy as the days when I was always accompanied by my parents in the small village.
"She... is just a piece of 'goods' in the eyes of the world after all..."
Yingping ignored Ye Changshan who fell into silence and said to himself——
"She is a real person, but her future and destiny are not in her own hands. Mr. Su, it seems, is sincere, but in fact? He just wants to get this 'treasure' that no one can get. Just get it, so that he can show off among his friends. What's more, the more he doesn't get it, the more turbulent he will be. Zhi Tang's repeated rejections also made him put down his body and pursue it 'sincerely', but what about the reality? I'm afraid he can get it It won’t take a few months to leave her behind and find a new love.”
"So, your one thousand taels..."
"So I must have this thousand taels." Yingping returned to the original topic of discussion and said: "Of course I don't care about a mere thousand taels of silver, but Zhi Tang's heart is just longing for a bit of equality and respect. , that one thousand taels is her promise, okay! Then I will promise her that we will trade it fairly for one thousand taels per piece. If I don’t mention it like you said and just cater to her blindly, then I will How is it different from those flattering and lustful people? Then when she comes back to her senses, won’t she look down on me? What’s more,——”
Yingping suddenly raised his head with a confident smile on his face——
"Who am I? Not to mention my identity, just because I can discuss music with Yu Yin, my attainments in this piano skill are probably the top in the Central Plains. What's more, Zhidang is determined to pursue the 'Qin' way, if she doesn't pay How can the high price reflect the excellence of my piano skills? How can it reflect her desire for this piece of music?"
Seeing Yingping's narcissistic look, Ye Changshan's heart softened. He knew that the familiar Yingping in his heart was back.
"Hey, who am I?" Ying Ping said with a split smile: "I am Ying Ping! The third generation disciple of a poor family! How can I use those cliché tricks like those ordinary people? If it spreads, it will not disgrace our master. s face?"
Ye Changshan couldn't help laughing.
"She is extraordinary, and I am also extraordinary. This matter cannot be rushed—"
After saying that, Yingping stepped forward and swayed triumphantly, like a roly-poly who would never fall.
