There are only a few households in the alley, most of which are closed and very quiet.
When they arrived at a courtyard, they saw several people standing at the door. A middle-aged man was whispering to a young woman holding a baby in her arms.
When Zhou Yao passed by, she happened to hear: "... Mr. Su is a very nice person, and Mrs. Su is even more gentle and kind. It is safe to live here..."
There was a little maid, two or three years younger than the maid Zhou Yao brought with her. She was timid and could only stand aside and listen quietly.
The woman's face was pale, with a hint of bitterness on her pretty face, and she whispered: "The commander-in-chief is in trouble today. As a husband and wife, I can't pretend not to know. Mr. Jian, I want to go to the execution ground. At least I can collect his body." …”
The middle-aged man disagreed, and just said: "Madam, I have already arranged this matter. Just stay here with peace of mind..."
Zhou Yao was surprised when she heard only these words when passing by.
"What does this family have to do with Su Ziji?"
But she was only invited by Ye Buhui as a guest, and it was not her responsibility to care or ask. Although she had doubts in her heart, Zhou Yao did not stop and went straight into the courtyard.
"Are you Miss Zhou?" When a maid in light green clothes saw someone coming in, she immediately put down her tools to sweep the courtyard and came over with a smile.
Zhou Yao nodded, and she immediately said enthusiastically: "My wife has been waiting for a long time, please come inside!"
Another maid came in to report the news.
When Zhou Yao walked straight to the flower hall in the main courtyard, she heard the clear sound of chess pieces falling on the board and the clear sound of a young man reading chess scores from a distance.
The maid who led the way explained in a low voice: "My master has just returned from Fanghou. Maybe he didn't know you were coming."
Zhou Yao then put away her surprise. After all, she came here this time just to respond to Ye Buhui's invitation. As a result, it was a bit strange to see the male host here.
But just as she was thinking this, the mysterious voice in her heart suddenly chuckled.
Zhou Yao was a little confused. At this time, the reading stopped, and the young couple inside, after hearing the maid's report, stood up together and came out to greet them.
"My wife and I are far away from each other. I hope Miss Zhou won't be surprised." Su Ziji took the lead in saluting her, and then said with a hint of shame: "Miss Zhou, to be honest, I'm going to invite you in my wife's name this time." When you come here, actually, I think I want to learn the piano."
Ye Buhui was a little embarrassed at the side. This was indeed a scam, so he also apologized.
The mother-in-law who followed Zhou Yao in was a little unhappy at first. She wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhou Yao's look.
When she looked away sullenly and landed on Ye Buhui, Mrs. Su, her face suddenly became a little strange. She looked at Ye Buhui up and down, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.
In fact, Dazheng's men's and women's defense was not strict, and his wife was present, and there were maids and wives following him. Although Zhou Yao was a little surprised when she first heard about it, she still readily agreed.
In this flower hall, Zhou Yao taught Su Ziji the art of piano in front of everyone: "Master Su, let me play a song to demonstrate the basics of piano art."
Su Ziji lowered his eyes and saw half a piece of red sandalwood rising up: "Do you accept Zhou Yao's teaching of piano skills?"
"yes."
"Qin Yi has been learned, [Qin Yi] Level 3, 158/3000"
Half a piece of rosewood shone slightly, and the knowledge and experience of piano art came directly to his heart. His fingers, which were still a little raw at first, already felt a familiar feeling when they touched the strings.
"Awesome, Zhou Yao's piano skills are not bad, and he got me started in an instant."
Such talent for learning piano may seem amazing to others, but Zhou Yao is not surprised. Scholars must be involved in chess, piano, calligraphy and painting, otherwise they will be laughed at.
She felt that it was normal for Su Zi to know some basics of piano skills since he was from Jieyuan of Guangling Province, and now he was the Huiyuan of this session.
"Young master Su, you just got started with the piano art. You still need to practice more in the future."
Su Ziji was also very satisfied with the teaching and asked: "Miss Zhou taught well. Can I teach six more lessons, a total of seven lessons, once a day, one hour at a time."
According to his own estimation, Zhou Yao's techniques can be fully learned in seven lessons. Of course, this does not mean that he will reach Zhou Yao's level, even half the level. The rest will have to be practiced by himself or draw experience from elsewhere.
Zhou Yaoshang hesitated a little, but the voice in his heart urged: "Promise him."
So, Zhou Yao nodded: "Yes."
When she was about to leave, Su Ziji sent her straight out of Taohua Lane. When he saw her leaving, he got on an ox cart again and said, "Go to Zhennan Bo's Mansion!"
On the bullock cart, as the intersection gradually faded away, the mother-in-law who was following Zhou Yao said, "Miss, Mrs. Su is a little strange."
Zhou Yao looked over puzzled.
The mother-in-law said hesitantly: "Mrs. Su is still Yuanbi. Didn't she say that she has been married for more than a year? Why are you still..."
Zhou Yao said calmly: "I heard that Mrs. Su's father died only a year ago, or it was for mourning."
Seeing what the mother-in-law wanted to say, she calmed down and gave her a cold look: "Besides, what does this matter have to do with you and me? Don't mention it again. If anything bad comes from you, just wait and see. Go home, the Zhou Mansion will not tolerate people who talk too much and gossip."
The mother-in-law suddenly froze and said hurriedly: "Miss, please don't be angry, I just don't mention it."
She was even more secretly thinking: "Could it be that Miss Su is interested in Mr. Su? It would have been good if she had agreed to teach me the piano, but Mr. Su has a wife."
"No, I have to report it to Madam."
At this time, Su Ziji got on the bullock cart and walked out of the street first, heading towards the outer courtyard of Zhennan Bo Mansion.
There were no words all the way, and we quickly arrived at the place.
The outer courtyard of this uncle's residence is not located in a place where the powerful gather. Instead, it is on a street a few miles away from Taohua Lane. Most of the nearby courtyards are the other courtyards of the powerful. It is not prosperous, but the public security is obviously very good. When the oxcart stopped, , just in time to catch up with a group of soldiers patrolling the city.
When Su Ziji went to knock on the door in person, as the door opened, a young man who looked familiar came out.
"Su Huiyuan, please."
The young man obviously knew that Su Ziji was coming and was waiting specially.
Su Ziji nodded to the other party and walked into the other courtyard, only to find that it was very quiet here.
"Su Huiyuan, my master is not here today because he knew you were here to borrow books, so he asked me to wait for you here."
The young man said with a smile: "There are not many other things in this courtyard, but there are quite a lot of books. The martial arts book you asked about can be found in the study here."
With that said, he led the way and welcomed Su Ziji to a study room.
When the study door was opened and Su Ziji was let in, he was shocked as soon as he glanced at it.
This study room is several feet square and is extremely quiet and elegant. There is a jade flute hanging at the south end, and a small table at the west end. There are several flowers in a vases with rain-stained sky blue on it, which is very elegant and pleasant.
That's all. There is a red sandalwood bookcase, filled with books. Just by looking at it, you can tell that they are handwritten books.
Su Ziji couldn't help but be shocked by this "generousness"!
As long as it is not printed but handwritten, and the owner agrees to borrow it, Su Ziji is eligible to borrow any volume here.
This is not a book in a study room, it is clearly a treasure in a study room!
