"I dare to ask you, sir, what is WeChat? What is QQ?" Ye Ziyuan asked doubtfully.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask you to leave your contact information."
Shao Xi also realized at this time that he had lied again. It’s been ten years, why can’t these problems be corrected?
The mother on the side reacted very quickly, and said to Shao Xi with a smile on her face: "Since the young master likes Miss Ziyuan so much, I guarantee that the young master can see her every time as long as he comes here often."
"Yes, yes." Shao Xi agreed perfunctorily, thinking that there might be a next time!
Ye Ziyuan sat quietly next to Shao Xi, picked up the wine pot, filled the wine glasses for the two of them, then picked up the wine glass and said to Shao Xi: "Thank you for your favor, I will give this glass to you."
Shao Xi quickly picked up the wine glass, clinked the glass with Ye Ziyuan, and then the two drank the wine in one gulp.
When the mother saw that the two of them were already online, she wisely retreated.
Ye Ziyuan refilled the wine glass for Shao Xi and asked softly: "I wonder what the young master likes in daily life?"
Shao Xi scratched his head and said with a slight embarrassment: "I don't have any special hobbies. I have been practicing martial arts for these years, so in addition to dancing with swords, I occasionally write a few crooked poems."
"Dancing with a sword? Composing poetry? I didn't expect that the young master would have such elegant hobbies at such a young age." Ye Ziyuan said slightly surprised.
"Hey! What kind of elegance do I have? It's all done randomly."
"Can you ask the young master to recite a poem to open my daughter's eyes and gain insights?"
Shao Xi was a little dumbfounded for a moment. He was completely unprepared for this! So he said awkwardly: "The girl mentioned it suddenly, I am not prepared. If it is abrupt, please forgive me."
"Young Master is joking. This Lanxiufang is a place for drinking and having fun. Why do you say something so abruptly? You just casually chanted."
"Then please don't laugh, girl."
After speaking, Shao Xi casually chanted without thinking:
Taste all the brews in the world,
Pink is the most fascinating.
Grab a glass of wine,
It feels like two generations of people.
Ye Ziyuan was slightly startled after hearing this, then smiled and said: "Young master is indeed a romantic person, and he actually recited such a joke casually."
"Young lady, I laughed. I really didn't have any preparations. I happened to be drinking here again today, so I casually chanted a few words. Don't be surprised, girl."
Ye Ziyuan quickly whispered: "Young master is a guest, how dare I blame you? I am not talented, so I am willing to perform a sword dance for you. I wonder if you are willing to watch it?"
"Okay! Since Miss Ziyuan is willing to show off her talents, we naturally want her, so I'll help you."
Ye Ziyuan smiled slightly and said softly: "Young Master, you are so polite. I hope you will not laugh. Can you lend me your sword?"
"Of course you can. I think only my sword is worthy of Miss Ziyuan here." With that said, Shao Xi took out the Cuiyu Sword from his waist.
As soon as this sword came out, everyone was immediately stunned. The light from the sword seemed to illuminate the hall a little more. The colorful light around the sword body and the slight green feather pattern on the sword body were really enviable.
Ye Ziyuan looked at the Cuiyu sword in Shao Xi's hand and couldn't help but feel a little distracted for a moment. In Lan Xiufang for many years, she has naturally seen a lot of treasures in the world, and she considers herself knowledgeable. She didn't want to see this sword today, but it made her feel so excited. Where is this sword? This is simply a rare beauty in the world. How can it be compared to the vulgar things I have seen before?
Raising her hand to gently take the Cuiyu Sword, Ye Ziyuan said with excitement, "I didn't expect that the sword used by the young master is such a treasure. I'm afraid that my little girl is not worthy of this sword."
Shao Xi smiled when he heard this and said, "If even Miss Ziyuan is not worthy of this sword, who else in this world is worthy of it?"
Ye Ziyuan's face turned slightly red when Shao Xi said that, and there was a flash of autumn in her eyes, followed by a hint of disappointment. He said softly: "Young Master is making fun of me. I hope that my daughter will not disgrace this sword with this dance. I also ask that Young Master will not dislike it."
After saying that, Ye Ziyuan flicked her long skirt and walked to the center of the hall, changing her shy expression just now. Slowly holding up the Cuiyu Sword in his hand, he looked at it lovingly again and gently stroked the sword with his slender jade fingers. Suddenly, the sword in his hand moved suddenly, and he turned around and started dancing.
I saw Ye Ziyuan's graceful figure, light and nimble feet, graceful posture, and the sword in her hand moving like flowing clouds, as fast as sparks, and as dense as pouring rain. The emerald green light on the sword, carrying the colorful stream of light, fluttered and danced with her red dress, as graceful as a startling giant, as graceful as a swimming dragon, and it was extremely beautiful.
At this time, Ye Ziyuan softly chanted:
Looking at the mountains and looking at the moonlit sky, I feel melancholy.
Planting green radish under the willow tree.
The purple swallow flies south in search of spring warmth,
What can I do if the eyes are full of kites?
The poem is full of melancholy, unwillingness and helplessness. Ye Ziyuan's eyes are shining with tears that are not easily noticed by others. She seems to have endless bitterness and pain, but she cannot tell anyone.
After reciting the poem, Ye Ziyuan also closed her sword posture, her face was not red, and she was not out of breath. He walked lightly to Shao Xi again, holding the Cuiyu Sword in both hands. He looked at it with great treasure and handed the sword to Shao Xi. His eyes were full of cherishment and reluctance.
Ye Ziyuan's dance was so impressive that everyone in the Lan Xiufang Hall, including the flower pavilion on the second floor, couldn't help but applaud and cheer. Many guests even threw flower petals into the hall to show their appreciation. (Somewhat similar to today’s live broadcast rooms for likes and gifts, and the novel platform’s ticket rewards.)
Shao Xi and Lao Wu were also shocked. They thought that this woman only had some talents, but unexpectedly, she was so unexpected. The poem and the sword shocked the two of them.
Shao Xi took the Cuiyu Sword and couldn't help but admire: "I didn't expect the girl to be so talented. I was negligent before. To apologize to the girl, I will punish myself with three cups of wine."
Ye Ziyuan smiled sweetly and said: "There is no need to drink wine as a penalty. I hope that the young master can also recite a poem carefully, which can be regarded as a reward for my daughter."
When Shao Xi heard this, he knew that he could no longer make excuses at this time. He looked up at Ye Ziyuan, then turned back to look at the Lan Xiufang hall filled with petals, and said with a smile: "I wonder if I could ask Miss Ziyuan to play a piece of piano and let me think for a moment?"
"Of course you can. I wonder what music you want to listen to?"
"How about "Feng Qiu Huang"?"
After hearing this, Ye Ziyuan's face turned red again, and she said shyly, "It all depends on the young master's liking."
Call your maid to fetch a fir guqin and place it on the piano bed. Ye Ziyuan sat in front of the piano, gently raised her jade hand, and slowly stroked the strings, while a song "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" trickled out from her fingertips.
The sound of the piano is subtle and deep, simple and deep, melodious and melodious. Ye Ziyuan uses fingering techniques such as Yin, Xiao, Chuo and Zhu very mellowly, and the lingering notes of the song "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" are inexhaustible. It really means "the lingering sound is still lingering, a gentleman should never stop drinking."
Shao Xi listened with fascination, and he couldn't help but feel a little pity for Ye Ziyuan who had just danced the sword with tears in his heart. If a woman had even the slightest chance to avoid falling into this trap, making a living by making fun of herself, how helpless and miserable it would be!
Ye Ziyuan was so talented that Shao Xi couldn't help but feel more admiration for her, so she chanted in a low voice accompanied by the music of the piano:
A strand of red silk bundled with blue silk,
Starry eyes lowered secretly and knew in their hearts.
But turn fallen flowers into spring rain,
I hope the snow will turn into poetry when I come!
After chanting the song, Shao Xi couldn't help but feel sad. Ye Ziyuan had finished playing the song and returned to Shao Xi with a polite gift, "Young Master knows my heart and advises me to treat the falling flowers in front of me as spring rain to sweep away the autumn mood in my heart and look forward to the future. Zi Yuan is here to thank Young Master I have pity on you, and I hope to treat you as a confidant from now on."
Shao Xi quickly bowed and returned the greeting: "Miss Ziyuan is not an ordinary woman. I am lucky enough to meet you today, and I am very happy in my heart. If I won't abandon you, I would like to be her confidant."
Ye Ziyuan handed the wine glass on the table to Shao Xi's hand, picked up her own wine glass, and said to Shao Xi with a smile: "You haven't asked me your surname?"
"I'm Shao Xi, the morning sun."
"Master Shao, since you and I have regarded each other as close friends today, from now on Ziyuan will look forward to each other day by day, think of each other every night, and pray for him all the time. I wish him everything will go well and he will never have worries."
"Miss Ziyuan, I have something I don't know whether to ask or not?"
"Since we are close friends, what should we ask? Young master, just ask."
"Have you ever thought about redeeming yourself, leaving this barren place, and finding other ways to make a living?"
Ye Ziyuan frowned slightly and sighed softly: "It's easy to get in through this door, but it's even harder to get out. I originally thought that with more talent, I could earn more money and redeem myself as soon as possible, but where is this place? I The humble body here is just a commodity waiting to be sold. The higher the price, the higher the price of redemption. The more I want to make more money to redeem myself, I find it becomes more and more difficult."
After hearing this, Shao Xi felt sad.
"Maybe I shouldn't ask, but since I've already mentioned this, I want to ask Miss Ziyuan, how much money do you need to redeem yourself now?"
"Sir, what do you mean by this? Since you and I are each other's best friends, how can we use this yellow and white thing to prove the friendship between you and me? Since I could sell myself to bury my father back then, I was already prepared to redeem myself with my own ability. Now, It's just the first time I've met the young master. Although we admire each other, we can't use the young master's money for no reason. The young master should not ask any more questions."
Shao Xi admired Shao Xi from the bottom of his heart for a promiscuous woman who was joking in the hook bar. She had such integrity and said such words. Although Ye Ziyuan said this, Shao Xi still wanted to do his best. Of course, it was precisely because of Ye Ziyuan's words just now that Shao Xi had to consider the dignity of this woman who could not be harmed.
Shao Xi turned around and leaned into Lao Wu's ear, and asked softly: "Old guy, which eye stone was the most expensive that day? How much can it be sold for?"
According to the past, Lao Wu must have been opposed to this matter. What he was most afraid of was being nosy and causing trouble. Especially at this moment, he was facing another promiscuous woman. Logically speaking, he should strongly object, but perhaps because he was moved by the true love between the two, Old Wu did not express any objection for the first time.
"The best ones are yellow. I don't know the current price. Ten years ago, if I met a good buyer, each one could be sold for up to two or three hundred gold."
Shao Xi turned around, opened his pocket and picked out two yellow Sky Eye Stones, took Ye Ziyuan's hand and put the Sky Eye Stone into her hand.
"These two are Sky Eye Stones. If they sell well, they can be sold for a total of 400 to 600 gold. You can keep them as a souvenir. They may be able to help you if you are in trouble. This is not pity, but friendship between friends."
"Son..."
A drop of tear fell on the back of Shao Xi's hand...
