In a private room on the second floor of Baihua Pavilion, Chang Sun Chong was holding an enchanting woman in his arms and drinking with his cousin Gao Xingcheng.
At this time, a young man dressed as a man came in from outside and whispered a few words in Changsun Chong's ear.
After Changsun Chong heard this, he couldn't help but smile. He threw a bag of money to the boy and said:
"Well done. Next, follow the plan and stay hidden so that no one will discover you."
The boy took the money with both hands and said respectfully:
"Sir, don't worry, I understand."
Changsun Chong nodded with satisfaction, waved to the boy and said:
"Go ahead, the Changsun family won't treat you badly."
"It's young master."
After the boy goes down,
Gao Xing, who saw all this in his eyes, couldn't help but put down his glass.
Changsun Chong cast a questioning look.
Changsun Chong smiled and nodded, then he patted the thigh of the woman next to him and said:
"You take them down first. I will look for you later."
The enchanting woman smiled sweetly at Changsun Chong and said:
"Well, then I'll go back to my house and wash up first. Young Master will definitely come to my house soon."
After speaking, the woman led the others out of the box.
Gao Jishi knew that Changsun Chong's plan was about to begin, so he asked Changsun Chong:
"Chong'er, are you trustworthy when you find someone? Do you want him after the job is done?"
After saying this, Gao Xingyi also made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Changsun Chong shook his head when he heard this and said:
"Cousin, don't worry. The two people who took action tonight are from the West City, and they don't know that I am behind the scenes."
"The boy just now is a disguised soldier in my house. After a while, he will take one of the barbarians to recognize the boy's appearance and then leave Chang'an City. No one will be able to find out that it is me. Instigated."
Gao Xingcheng kept nodding while listening.
After thinking about it, he stood up and said:
"But aren't the two brothers from the Cheng family following him?"
Changsun Chong smiled mysteriously and said:
"Don't worry, someone will come forward to keep them."
Gao Jingcheng smiled and said:
"Doesn't that mean that boy is going to die tonight?"
Changsun Chong smiled and nodded and said:
"How could he, a scholar with no strength, be a match for a barbarian with a sharp blade?"
Gao Jixiu heard this and said:
"It's just a pity that we can't kill that kid in front of him."
Changsun Chong smiled and said:
"Cousin, this person's identity is different now. If we show up, it will inevitably arouse others' suspicion."
"The most important thing right now is to send the boy back to the west first, and then find a way to take back his property. This can make up for the loss of my eldest grandson's family."
After speaking, Changsun Chong picked up the wine glass and said to Gao Jingxing:
"Come, cousin, let's have a drink and treat it as a farewell to that boy."
Gao Jingcheng also picked up the cup with a smile upon hearing this.
After the two drank the wine.
They looked at each other and laughed.
.......
Not long after the boy left Changsun Chong's box.
The news that the creator of "Ai Lian Shuo" came to Baihua Pavilion to participate in the Lantern Festival Poetry Competition also spread like wildfire.
This suddenly ignited people's enthusiasm.
A poet who wrote famous works throughout the Tang Dynasty.
The degree of being sought after is no less than that of the stars of later generations.
So in the entire Baihua Pavilion, whether it was the sleepers who came to look for flowers and willows, the flirts who came here to make a name for themselves, or the usually arrogant courtiers in the pavilion.
Everyone was asking about which box Qin Ming was in, and wanted to get in close contact with the poet.
.....
Baihua Pavilion, Xifeng Courtyard.
Dieyi excitedly opened the door and said to Jiang Luoyi on the couch:
"Miss, Mr. Qin is here to participate in the competition."
Jiang Luoyi trembled slightly, then gently picked up a chess piece and said:
"Oh, I see."
Dieyi saw this and said doubtfully:
"Miss, don't you go to the pavilion and take a look?"
Jiang Luoyi shook his head when he heard this.
After Dieyi left the room, Jiang Luoyi put down the chess piece in his hand.
He murmured:
"I'll see you."
.......
Qin Ming’s box on the second floor,
Qin Ming stood up slowly, walked around the musicians, and glanced at the musicians' instruments.
Yuchi Wanning saw this and asked:
"Brother Qin, are you choosing an instrument?"
Qin Ming nodded. He had just looked around and found that among the bunch of musical instruments, he only knew two.
But there happens to be a song that is perfect for accompaniment with both instruments.
So he thought for a while and said to everyone:
"There is a piece of music below that is very suitable for playing with guzheng and Xiao, so I need someone to help with the accompaniment."
Zheng Chuer was born in the Qing Dynasty and was good at guzheng and Xiao. Hearing this, he bowed to Qin Ming and said:
"The Nu family happens to be good at these two instruments. How about letting the Nu family accompany Qin Ming? I just don't know if Mr. Qin has the music score?"
Qin Ming could naturally write the music score, but after all, it was a score for later generations. If it were actually written, others might not be able to understand it.
Qin Ming thought for a while and said:
"I don't have the music score, but I can play the music a few times. Madam Zheng will listen to it first and see if she can remember it."
Zheng Chuer nodded after hearing this.
Qin Ming picked up the Xiao, signaled to everyone, and started playing.
Everyone in the box felt that the melody of this piece was different from the previous popular tunes in the Tang Dynasty, but it was also very pleasant.
So I was soon immersed in the wonderful sound of Xiao.
When Qin Ming finished playing it for the second time, Zheng Chuer finally memorized the entire piece.
Everything was ready. Qin Ming took a deep breath and sat down when his hand touched the strings.
Familiar melodies from the past seemed to automatically ring in my ears, and scenes from film and television dramas that I had long forgotten also came to mind one after another.
Qin Ming smiled.
That's fine. That's fine.
In this case, let's be proud of the Tang Dynasty.
Cheng Chumo's two brothers, Yuchi Wanning and his master and servant were all stunned when they saw Qin Ming smiling while stroking the strings of the piano.
Just when Cheng Chuliang was about to ask.
Qin Ming moved.
Everyone felt that the sound of the piano suddenly rose, like thunder on the ground, making people's scalp numb.
Then Zheng Chuer's whistle and Qin Ming's heroic singing burst into everyone's ears again.
"The sea is smiling, and the tide is rolling across the Taiwan Strait."
"Ups and downs follow the waves, remember the present."
.......
"The common people laugh, no longer lonely."
"The pride is still smiling foolishly."
The song ends,
Whether it was Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Wanning, or the other singers present, they were all stunned.
Zheng Chuer also lowered her hand holding Yuxiao and looked at Qin Ming with her eyes.
At this moment, the door of the box was squeezed open from the outside.
The reason why I said it was "squeezing away" was because there were too many people just gathered at the door.
At first, they all came here to see Qin Ming, a great poet, but when the singing in the box started, many more people gathered around.
Because there were so many people, the door was suddenly pushed open.
At this time, a figure quickly rushed to Qin Ming, held his hand, and said excitedly:
"Brother Ming, this song of yours is great. Please teach it to me. When I get back, I want to sing it to my father."
Qin Ming glanced at Xiong Er speechlessly, then pointed in the direction of the door and said:
"This is a simple matter. I'll teach you later tonight."
Xiong Er looked in the direction Qin Ming pointed, frowned, and said to the people at the door:
"Who are you? Why are you in our box?"
