In the elegant room on the east side of the third floor of the Flower Shop, slender fingers slid over the strings, and the perfect hands suddenly pressed the strings lightly, and the sound of the piano suddenly stopped.
The sound of the piano burst out in an instant with the force of breaking the silk, and then returned to silence in an instant, but the lingering sound lingered, making people mesmerized. Just like the person who loves you is far away, but you seem to hear the whisper in your ears again.
Li Zhonghong had never heard such a beautiful piano sound, and he couldn't help but have endless aftertaste and couldn't extricate himself.
After a long time, Li Zhonghong woke up from his intoxication. After another period of silence, he sighed: "Miss Luoqin's piano skills are really unparalleled in the world. I am lucky enough to hear it today."
Ye Luoqin stroked the guqin gently, as if she couldn't put it down. She sighed: "Without this thousand-year-old guqin, Luoqin, no matter how skilled he is, would not be able to play such beautiful sounds."
Then she stood up and bowed to Li Zhonghong Yingying, and said sincerely: "Thank you Mr. Li for the gift of the piano."
Li Zhonghong smiled and said: "This Guqin must be lucky to have a close friend like Miss Luoqin."
Ye Luoqin plucked the strings again, and the guqin made a clear sound. Then the door was gently pushed open, and a little girl of eleven or twelve years old walked in briskly.
"Ling'er, give Mr. Li a cup of tea."
Ling'er responded: "Yes." Then he brewed a new cup of tea for Li Zhonghong.
Ye Luoqin saw that Ling'er had been looking a little weird since entering the house, and seemed to have heard something interesting. After she finished brewing the tea, she couldn't help but ask, "Did anything interesting happen outside?"
Ling'er was a person who couldn't hold back his words. When Ye Luoqin asked about it, he immediately said with a smile: "A strange thing really happened in our flower shop just now."
Ye Luoqin was stunned when he heard this: "Something strange?" Then he couldn't help but ask: "What strange thing happened?"
"Cuinong, Chenshuang and Huafu haven't accompanied guests for more than ten years, but just now three distinguished guests named them to accompany them. Sister Luoqin, do you think it's strange?"
Ye Luoqin thought for a moment and said, "These three guests may be their former patrons, and they are here just to rekindle old friendships."
Ling'er smiled and said: "The oldest of the three guests is only seventeen or eighteen years old, how can he be their benefactor."
Ye Luoqin couldn't help being shocked when he heard this, and his eyes were full of doubts.
"Is there such a strange thing?" Li Zhonghong also became interested when he heard it.
Ling'er said: "These three guests are still drinking on the first floor at this time, and the three aunts Cuinong, Chenshuang and Huafu are also waiting around. And..."
"And what?" Ye Luoqin asked.
Ling'er chuckled and said, "Now this strange incident has spread throughout the flower shop. Everyone is extremely curious and can't help but want to see who these three strange guests are."
Ye Luoqin couldn't help but become curious, couldn't help but smile and said: "Then you must have seen it secretly, right?"
Ye Luoqin smiled, like a strange flower blooming for the first time, which made Li Zhonghong's eyes straighten and he could no longer look away.
Ling'er said: "The three young masters headed by them are only sixteen years old. Their surname is Shen, but their names are very strange. They are called Xun Huan, who is looking for fun."
"Shen Xunhuan?" Ye Luoqin shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that's not his real name."
Ling'er nodded: "Sister Qu and the others think so too. However, Mr. Shen is extremely handsome and looks like a noble person, but for some reason he wants Aunt Cuinong to accompany him."
Ye Luoqin thought for a while, but obviously couldn't figure it out, so she had no choice but to shake her head.
Li Zhonghong and Ye Luoqin originally got to know each other because of the piano, and they were chatting happily, but now they were disturbed by this strange Mr. Shen. Now Ye Luoqin is far more interested in this matter than Guqin.
Li Zhonghong felt indignant and couldn't help but sarcastically said: "These three people are just sensationalizing."
Ling'er didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in his tone, and continued: "But Mr. Shen didn't seem to dislike Aunt Cui and the others, and he had a pleasant chat with them, and even toasted them with several glasses of wine. "
Li Zhonghong snorted coldly, as if he thought it was beneath his status to argue with the little girl, so he stopped talking.
"And Mr. Shen is very eloquent and makes Aunt Cui and the others smile." At this point, Ling'er seemed to be feeling a little emotional: "It's been a long time since I heard Aunt Cui and the others smile so happily."
Ye Luoqin had never seen such a weird person before, and she couldn't help but become more and more interested in Mr. Shen.
"How could Mr. Shen be so interesting?" Ye Luoqin couldn't help but reveal a hint of yearning.
Li Zhonghong was arrogant by nature, so he couldn't bear such neglect. Naturally, he couldn't bear it anymore. He suddenly saluted Ye Luoqin and said, "Miss Luoqin, I suddenly remembered that I have something important to do. I'll say goodbye today and come back to visit another day."
Ye Luoqin looked at him blankly, then felt a little guilty, and hurriedly bowed back, apologetically, and said in a low voice: "Master Li, Luoqin did not entertain you well today. He will sweep the qin down when he leaves."
Li Zhonghong finally felt a little better. After saying goodbye to Ye Luoqin, he left the room under the guidance of Ling'er.
Ling'er sent Li Zhonghong away and returned to the room again, where Ye Luoqin was sitting by the guqin in a daze.
"Master Li is downstairs?"
Ling'er nodded: "Going downstairs."
Ye Luoqin said lazily: "I would like to thank Mr. Shen properly this time. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid I would have to look down and chase people away again."
Ling'er smiled and said, "I saw Mr. Li's majesty, literary talent, and respect for my sister. I gave her this thousand-year-old guqin as a gift. I thought he would be favored by her."
Ye Luoqin gently stroked the strings and made out a soothing and sweet sound. He said lightly: "Although Mr. Li is talented, he is actually no different from other people. He just wants to have a night of happiness."
Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered the strange Mr. Shen whom Ling'er mentioned, and couldn't help but laugh: "That Mr. Shen is quite an interesting person."
When Su Shi was mentioned, the corners of Ling'er's mouth turned up slightly, and her eyebrows were filled with smiles.
"That Mr. Shen is indeed interesting. He has already started drinking with Aunt Shuang."
"Drinking together?"
"Yes, Sister Yan'er just told me that Mr. Shen heard that Aunt Shuang had a very good drinking capacity. He was very unconvinced and insisted on distinguishing himself from Aunt Shuang. Even Aunt Cui couldn't persuade him. So Mr. Shen Young Master and Aunt Shuang are fighting hard now, both of them have drank a pound of nectar."
Ye Luoqin thought for a moment, and then asked, "What are the other two young masters doing?"
Ling'er pursed her lips and said with some disdain in her eyes: "The other two are far behind Mr. Shen. They sit there like idiots, and they seem to look down on Aunt Cui and the others."
