When shopkeeper Dong found Shaodong's house, Yu Youwei had just woken up. Her pajamas were light and gauze, and they were close-fitting to outline the girl's attractive curves. Her hair was covered with black hair, no makeup, and her eyebrows were picturesque, less seductive and more innocent.
"Young Master, the Crown Prince of Heyang City came to visit and said he was sending a thank-you gift. He is waiting in the study at this time." Shopkeeper Dong said respectfully outside the door, not even daring to knock.
"I know." Yu Youwei said, and the maid in green clothes in the room bowed her head and came forward to comb her master's makeup.
Yu Youwei put on a hundred-fold underskirt and sat in front of the dressing mirror. The maid in blue combed her black hair. She traced her eyebrows with indigo, and lightly pressed red lipstick to color her eyebrows. Her eyebrows and eyes were looking forward, and she looked charming again.
"Okay, don't keep the guests waiting." Yu Youwei stood up and put on a fox fur coat. The hood was covered with a layer of fluff, which made her pretty face look like cream, making her stunningly beautiful.
In the study room, Mu Chen and Bai Ze were both bold and courageous masters. When the young master of the Chamber of Commerce went out and took the maid in green to the study, one of them picked up a book from the bookshelf and started reading. The other was even more astonishing. He directly picked up the wolf hair hanging on the white jade pen holder of the agarwood desk and dipped it in thick ink. , with a swipe of his pen, he added half a sentence after the half-sentence of the poem.
"I can't tell that this young girl also likes the poetry collection of the Sword Immortal Li Muzhi!" Mu Chen laughed loudly, took the "Poetry Collection of the Sword Immortal" in his hand, and read a few sentences: "In the past, I, Li Muzhi, Leaving Shuzhou with a sword. Entering the city of Chang'an three times, holding the Moon-Drunk Immortal Tower. A song of phoenix praying for the phoenix, a sword of ghosts seeing sorrow. The wind and clouds are rough, and the sand of the Ganges River flows backward. The mountains are covered with green tombs, and we fight for them for several autumns."
When Bai Ze heard it, he thought it was wonderful. He put down his hair and asked Mu Chen, "What is the name of this poem?"
"It's called "Sword Immortal"." Mu Chen said, "Especially the ending of this poem: The long night in the pine hills, the red makeup is old. Tears pile up red candles, singing about love and hatred. Big dreams of rivers and lakes, long boating. This realm, really Very incomparable!"
"Love and hatred in the rivers and lakes are not as good as a couple of gods and immortals, taking a leisurely boat ride." The girl's ethereal voice came from outside the door, like a cat fluttering and a butterfly dancing, which made people enchanted.
Everyone looked around and saw a girl in fox fur walking slowly towards her. She was extremely beautiful. Her eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, and when she looks around, she looks like the stars and the moon are falling, and her expression is shining.
"Miss Youwei, Mu Chen is here to visit. I apologize for intruding you so much." Mu Chen put down the collection of poems and cupped his hands.
Yu Youwei looked at everyone, his eyes paused for a moment on the Sixth Princess, then walked past naturally, looked at Mu Chen, smiled sweetly, and said: "His Royal Highness's visit should make our Chamber of Commerce flourish, how can you say that it is?" How intrusive is it?"
This was the first time Zhao Ling'er saw Yu Youwei, and at the first glance, she felt lost in thought. Although Mu Chen had told her before this trip that the young boss of the Chamber of Commerce was very young, but now she saw that he was about the same age as her. At such a young age, he was already the young boss of the Chamber of Commerce. If he was not from an extraordinary family background, he had unusual means.
Comparing the two, the Sixth Princess prefers the former. The owner of the chamber of commerce is probably a blood relative of the girl in front of her. She was quite curious at the moment. She had never heard of a family with the surname Yu in the Yan State, so she asked: "The young master's family is young and promising, so they are extraordinary. But I don't know the origin of Miss Youwei's family. It seems that the people in the surrounding areas of the Yan State have not heard of it. Say everyone’s surname is Yu.”
"It's natural that the girl doesn't know." Yu Youwei said, "Jia Yan has been in business for half his life. The Yu family ancestral hall is in the Song Dynasty in the south of the Yan Kingdom, so the roots are naturally there. Therefore, it is normal for the Yu family to be unknown in the Yan Kingdom."
Between the words, he refused to say any more unnecessary information.
"That's it." The sixth princess nodded.
"We are guests from afar. Please follow Youwei to the teahouse. Let's chat slowly." Yu Youwei said with a slight smile.
"That's fine." Mu Chen immediately agreed, and everyone followed Yu Youwei to the teahouse where the Chamber of Commerce entertained distinguished guests.
The Tea House of the Chamber of Commerce has an antique look, with wooden railings and green curtains. As soon as you enter the building, the aroma of tea fills the room, which is refreshing. The tea table is carved from century-old pine roots collected by the Chamber of Commerce. The wood grain is curved and painted with brown wood paint, which looks extraordinary at first glance.
The tea set is a high-quality purple clay pot, which is used to slowly simmer Song Dynasty black tea. The tea has a light and elegant fragrance. Just a smell makes people relaxed and happy.
The maid in green beside Yu Youwei is obviously a master of tea ceremony. Her technique of making and pouring tea is so smooth that just watching it makes people feel it is a kind of enjoyment.
"By the way, Miss Youwei." Mu Chen heard a piano master playing the piano in the teahouse seat, and the sound of the piano was melodious. He suddenly remembered that the thank you gift he had prepared had not yet been sent, so he said, "I came here this time to thank you. On the Qinghe River, the girl came to the rescue out of righteousness and specially prepared a small gift."
"Your Majesty, you're welcome." Yu You smiled slightly and asked, "I wonder what kind of gift your Majesty has prepared?"
"That day on the painting boat, I heard the girl's melody sound very artistic. I guess you must be proficient in music, so you specially prepared a guqin and gave it to the girl." Mu Chen took off the guqin wrapped in silk behind him and handed it to her. Yu Youwei.
Bai Ze is drinking tea. Just drink it, not taste it. The palm-sized purple clay teacup contained only a sip of tea, and he finished it before he could even taste it.
In his early years, he and Xie Xuan traveled around the world and drank big bowls of crude tea, which was not very particular. It was satisfying to eat a big bowl, bitter at first and then sweet.
Yu Youwei took the guqin, took off his clothes, held the guqin in his arms, and put it on his knees. He was surprised when he saw it. He stroked the strings lightly and touched the burnt tail of the guqin. Xiang Muchen asked, "Is this Qin Jiaowei?"
"Exactly." Mu Chen nodded.
When Yu Youwei heard the words, he was secretly surprised and said: "The famous Qin Jiaowei was the royal Qin of Cai Yong, the first piano master in the North two hundred years ago. It is said that this Qin was born from the wonder of 'Fengqi Wutong'. At that time, Cai Yong When Yong was traveling in the north, he happened to encounter a fire phoenix descending on the plane tree, which was immediately burned red. When the fire phoenix saw Cai Yong, it crowed and flew away. Cai Yong saw that the plane tree was not burned, so he hurriedly left. A broken piece of wood was taken out of the fire, and it took ten years to make the famous Qin Jiaowei from that piece of wood."
"The name of the Qin is Jiaowei. It was named because the tail of the Qin was burnt by the fire of Fire Phoenix Zhende." Mu Chen said.
"Cai Yong made the qin in ten years, and the qin was composed into a song in the Jixia Academy of Qi, which attracted the wonder of hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix. Therefore, Jiaowei's song consecrated the gods and became one of the four qin in the world." Yu Youwei's eyes were clear and he stroked Looking at the piano body, he said: "Your Majesty, this piano is precious, do you really want to give it to me?"
"My prince has always taken his words seriously." Mu Chen nodded, picked up the teacup, and sipped the tea leisurely.
"Then Youwei dared to accept it." Yu You smiled and bent his eyes, and said to everyone sitting on the table: "Everyone visited the Chamber of Commerce today and took everything you need. It is also my return gift to the prince for giving me the piano. "
"In this way, my friend and my sister came together today because they wanted to take a look at the Chamber of Commerce Treasures Pavilion." Mu Chen laughed and said to Yu Youwei: "If they pick something, Miss Youwei, don't feel bad. Ah ha ha!"
"Of course Youwei won't feel bad." Yu Youwei pursed his lips and chuckled, looked at Bai Ze, and asked: "I wonder if this young master is visiting the Chamber of Commerce today, is there anything you can do to help?"
Bai Ze didn't say anything. He was as stunned as a woodcarving.
Yu Youwei asked again. Mu Chen saw that Bai Ze was absent-minded, as if he was shocked by something, and felt strange at the moment. He pushed him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Only then did Bai Ze come back to his senses. He almost dropped the tea cup on the table. He hurriedly covered up his mistake. His eyes unconsciously glanced at Yu Youwei and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I was just thinking about something, I'm sorry."
"Then young master, come to the Chamber of Commerce today, is there anything that Youwei can do to help?" Yu Youwei narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Bai Ze with an unnoticeable darkness in his eyes.
"Me?" Bai Ze thought for a while, put the note in his arms on the tea table, and said, "There are some elixirs. I thought I'd come to the Chamber of Commerce to ask about them before I left."
Yu You gave a slight signal, and the maid in green put away the note and said warmly: "I will prepare the elixir for the young master later."
"Okay, thank you." Bai Ze calmed down by drinking tea.
He was indeed thinking about something. Ever since he inherited the Mountain Ghost Seal, his spiritual sense was extremely sharp. On the Qinghe River that day, Yu Youwei knocked on the low table and exuded murderous aura. At first, it was definitely not directed at the black-clothed swordsman, but was surrounding everyone present.
Could it be a coincidence?
If it wasn't a coincidence, then the girl in front of her, who was no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, was hiding too deeply, which was terrifying.
On this day, Bai Ze was restless. He thought he had forgotten the hazy murderous intent above the Qinghe River that day, but now when he first glanced at Yu Youwei and recalled the murderous intent, it frightened him a little.
If this woman had murderous intentions at that time, no one on the Qinghe River, including Mu Chen, could have made it ashore alive.
But she didn't take action after all. Was her guess wrong?
Bai Ze was confused. He had something on his mind, so that after the teahouse, everyone went to the Treasure Pavilion to admire the treasures in the pavilion. He didn't know what they saw. Until they finally left the Chamber of Commerce, Bai Ze didn't even realize that the other four people had received a secret return gift from Yu Youwei - giving away all the items that the four of them had chosen in the Treasure Pavilion, except for him.
"Bai Ze, I see you are so preoccupied, but what worries you?" Mu Chen got on his horse and asked Bai Ze after leaving the Chamber of Commerce.
"I just thought of the sword Changhe in "The Sword Intention of the River", and I couldn't understand it, and I was a little lost." Bai Ze said carelessly.
"What a martial arts idiot!" Mu Chen laughed.
"Huh, you're talking about Bai Ze." Mu Qingling said, "Isn't my brother a love-struck person? He just met Miss Youwei once, and he gave away the famous Qin Jiaowei. Let's see what you get as a gift in the future!"
"That's true." Mu Chen was a little troubled.
"It seems that the Crown Prince is probably in love with the Young Master of the Chamber of Commerce." The Sixth Princess joked.
"Aren't you worthy of me?" Mu Chen asked with high spirits, riding his horse and whipping his whip.
"Bah!" Mu Qingling made fun of her brother by using a homophonic pronunciation.
