"Actually, it didn't take long. I just arrived a while ago." Liu Zimo comforted her with a smile.
"Oh, actually I could go to Fuguangju by myself. I went there by myself yesterday. It's so troublesome for you to go all the way. Besides, you had nothing to do in the past. It's so boring to stay there." Charlotte Tong felt that he should have waited for a while, but he just said this because he didn't want to feel guilty.
He might come to pick her up from time to time, she said quickly.
"I just have two free days, so I came to see you. I won't feel bored. It's actually a kind of enjoyment to listen to you practice the piano while reading a book." Liu Zimo looked at her seriously and said.
"Okay, then if you have something to do, go and do it. You don't have to stay there all the time." Xia Luotong could only say this.
She heard from her master yesterday that Liu Zimo actually held an important position in the court, so she thought he might be free these two days, right? Otherwise, he wouldn't follow her to Fuguangju all the time.
Xia Luotong thought so and let him go, because in her opinion, Fuguangju was indeed a good place to relax. Not only did it have a good view, but it was also good for listening to the piano.
The two were talking and laughing on the carriage, but they seemed closer than before. The main reason was that after they left, Xia Luotong felt less resistant to Liu Zimo.
While talking to Xia Luotong, Liu Zimo looked at the wrapped piano she had put aside, with an unknown light flashing from time to time in his eyes.
Fuguangju was not far away, and the two of them arrived quickly. Under the guidance of the servants, they came to the waterside pavilion where they were yesterday, where Mr. Le and Yue Qinglu were already drinking tea.
When Xia Luotong arrived, he greeted them warmly. When Mr. Le saw that she had brought the piano, he couldn't wait to let her open it and take a look.
Mr. Le's eyes lit up when he saw Qin at first sight. After he checked it carefully, he couldn't help but said in surprise: "It is indeed 'Pu Ying'!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked, but the reasons for the surprise were different.
Xia Luotong didn't expect that Wu Zechen would give her such a world-famous piano. Although it was a life-saving gift, hadn't he always been very prejudiced against her? How could he give himself such an expensive thank you gift?
Liu Zimo was surprised by the reason and purpose of Wu Zechen giving this piano. He didn't know that Wu Zechen and Xia Luotong had a detoxification matter.
Wu Zechen's attitude towards Xia Luotong had always been very clear before. Almost everyone in the capital knew that Xia Luotong, the eldest daughter of the Minister of Rites, the newly married Princess An, was completely unpopular, even in After entering the palace, he never appeared again.
Not only did she not go to the palace to express her gratitude on the second day of the wedding, she didn't even come back on the third day. The situation is still unclear, as if everything has been lost. No matter how people outside talk about it, there is no news about Princess An. .
The same was true for the information Liu Zimo had found out before, but why would Wu Zechen suddenly give her such a famous piano? This makes absolutely no sense!
He had a vague feeling that things might not be as simple as he thought, and he suddenly felt the need to investigate further.
In fact, even Mr. Yue and Yue Qinglu were also very puzzled after confirming Qin's background. They were also the ones who had inquired about Xia Luotong's situation, so they also believed that it was impossible for Wu Zechen to send Xia Luotong. Such a piano.
But since Xia Luotong had no other expression, they naturally wouldn't ask any more questions.
"From what you said yesterday, what is the origin of this 'Pu Ying'?" Xia Luotong asked curiously.
Mr. Le thought for a while and then told her the matter and let her make her own judgment.
"This 'Pu Ying' was originally a collection of an official. The official loved the piano very much and it was impossible to sell it because many people had wanted to buy it from him or exchange it for the 'Pu Ying' , but they were all rejected by him.”
"He was replaced by Prince Naan later?" Xia Luotong asked in surprise.
If the original owner of this piano loved the piano so much, then he must have put a lot of effort into replacing the piano. But the more this happened, the more puzzled she felt.
What on earth was this cold-faced prince thinking?
Xia Luotong's name for Wu Zechen also surprised Mr. Le and others, but considering the relationship between them as "husband and wife", it didn't seem so strange.
But if that's the case, why did Wu Zechen get this piano for Xia Luotong?
"Yes, just the day before yesterday, Prince An personally came to the door and got this 'Pu Ying', but what method he used is unknown." Mr. Le said truthfully.
After listening to his words, Xia Luotong couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
She got it just the day before yesterday. Does that mean that as soon as she got the "Pu Ying", Wu Zechen turned around and gave it to her directly?
In this way, it is obvious that this piano was found specifically for her, but why?
Xia Luotong thought about it for a moment but couldn't figure it out. She didn't want to dwell on the matter anymore. After all, she had saved his life, so it was normal to give her such a gift.
"Does Prince An know that you came to learn the piano with me?" Mr. Le suddenly asked.
"I know, I told him. After all, I will often go out and come here, and he will always know it. Rather than causing trouble, I told him in advance." Xia Luotong replied.
"He allows you to run out of the house so often? And come to my place often?" Mr. Le felt a little incredible.
Although the folk customs in the Zhou Dynasty were open, there were few restrictions on women. It was common for young ladies to go out from time to time. However, after marrying as a woman, it would be more or less inconvenient, so the number of going out would be relatively less. The details will depend on Depending on the situation of the husband's family, some husband's families may not even allow the woman to go out as she pleases.
It was a bit surprising that a "husband" like Prince An, who was obviously at odds with her, would allow her to go out like this.
"It's allowed, and I actually made an agreement with him that he won't interfere with my daily affairs." Xia Luotong said with a smile, "Besides, Mr. Xu also suggested that I come to your place to learn piano. I want to come." You also spoke to me, right?"
Mr. Le didn't expect that there was something about Mr. Xu here, but he nodded understandingly.
Putting this matter aside, she continued to study with Mr. Le and started today's class.
Liu Zimo glanced at Xia Luotong, who was devoted to studying. Although he was confused, he did not ask rashly. Instead, he took a deep look at her and went to the pavilion on the shore to read again.
When lunch was approaching, Liu Zimo's guard suddenly came to see him. He looked like something was wrong. After listening to the guard's report, Liu Zimo said goodbye to Xia Luotong and Mr. Le and his son, and left Fuguang Residence in advance. .
