Lianxiang's master is a woman named "Bi Ji". Shen Hao had never heard of it before today, but Zhang Qian told him about it on the way here. I thought he was just an old piano player, but now it seems that his thinking is simple. No wonder he can manipulate Ning Ziyi's employer to agree to Ning Ziyi's redemption.
The sound of the piano continues, but the scene is now very strange. Everyone else was mesmerized by the music, except for the two people sitting next to each other who were whispering to each other and not listening at all.
"Tell me when your Hong'en Courtyard needs to support new people." After a few glasses of wine, Shen Hao suddenly changed the topic, not wanting to continue talking about Ning Ziyi.
"What are you doing?" Lianxiang smiled and leaned into Shen Hao's arms.
"I can't help you with anything else. At least if you want to praise people at Hongenyuan, you probably need poems and songs, right? It'll be no problem if I help you a little bit."
Shen Hao's poems are all selected from textbooks, and they are absolutely overqualified to praise the singer.
"Are you so kind? Don't you have some bad intentions?"
"Didn't you say that Hongenyuan doesn't have a new person to replace you? It's enough to praise one. If it doesn't work, just praise two. It's just a few more poems. You must satisfy your boss. Then you can go again Ask your master to help you, and you will probably be able to redeem yourself like Ning Ziyi."
Lianxiang smiled and closed her eyes, and even turned sideways, as if she was looking for the most comfortable position in Shen Hao's arms.
That's it, it's half the story.
Lianxiang didn't ask Shen Hao why he did this. And Shen Hao didn't question why Lianxiang didn't respond.
The two of them had a clear conscience, and each was riddled with thorns. Now they finally found the right distance, and no one dared to break this tacit understanding easily.
The sound of the piano rose and fell outside, and every silence was followed by thunderous applause. I think Ning Ziyi's performance was quite successful. But Shen Hao had no time to listen at this time.
It wasn't until the end of the first half of the year when Ning Ziyi played the last piece of music on the stage and took a bow after playing and singing that the excitement of the night was over.
"She won't come up and say hello to you?"
"I can't say hello when I come up! Some people want to get close to Sister Ziyi, right?"
"She's not older than you, and she's not as strong as you. Why should I get close to her?"
"Pooh!"
After saying a few words, Zhang Qian and Gan Lin also came to their senses and started cheering loudly, and then they all made up for the wine they missed while listening to the piano.
The atmosphere at the table was rekindled, but it was already past midnight and it was time to leave. It is rare that Zhang Qian and Gan Lin did not go home tonight but chose to stay at Hong'en Courtyard. But Shen Hao wanted to go home.
Before leaving, Lianxiang held Shen Hao's hand, seemingly reluctant to leave. Zhang Qian and Gan Lin laughed loudly as they watched, and then they each hugged the person next to them and got out of the house.
Lianxiang didn't let go of Shen Hao until she was out of the gate, and didn't look back until she was far away. Instead of going back to Hong'en Courtyard, I went upstairs. I called out to Xiao Qin, who had been guarding outside the wing, and then walked through the lobby on the first floor and took the alley to the back of Hong'en Courtyard. After another alley, I reached Lianxiang's courtyard. .
Different from the past, there were still sounds of people in the small courtyard at this time. Xiao Rong was busy boiling water inside, and there was also a maid who was not here on weekdays.
Pushing the door open and entering the room, sitting in front of the dressing table was Ning Ziyi, who was wearing a purple dress and came off the stage.
"Sister Ziyi." Lianxiang hugged Ning Ziyi from behind with a smile.
"Why are you back so late?"
Ning Ziyi's tone was very gentle, she patted the hand holding her, and then took off the accessories on her head to avoid accidentally pricking Lianxiang's face. Then he turned around and looked at Reixiang, with a half-smile on his face.
"Sister Ziyi, what's your expression? It's weird." Lianxiang felt a little uncomfortable and let go of her hand, only to be held back by Ning Ziyi.
"Xiao Xiang'er, how long have you been like this?"
"How long?" Lianxiang looked confused, as if she didn't understand, but there was a hint of evasion in her eyes.
"You're still pretending to me! Xiaorong told me just now!"
Just now?
Lianxiang was scolded by Xiaorong's words. No wonder Ning Ziyi came back half an hour before her but hadn't finished taking off her makeup. It turned out that she was listening to a story!
"I don't know what you're talking about, Sister Ziyi. I'm going to wash up..."
"Don't leave!"
"Sister Ziyi!" Lianxiang said in a coquettish voice, pulling Ning Ziyi's arm and shaking her. She still looked like the coquettish singer from Hong'en Courtyard, looking exactly like a little girl.
It can be seen that the relationship between Lianxiang and Ning Ziyi should be very good.
Facing coquetry, the corners of Ning Ziyi's mouth turned up. Although we haven't seen each other for more than a year, my junior sister has not changed at all. Every time she is caught with a sore leg, she always looks like this, trying to fool around.
"Don't do this. You are very courageous. How dare you take your heart? Do you want to risk your life?"
"It's just a bluff. I don't believe that the sect leader would risk his life. Besides, if the sect leader is so busy, how could he know about me? I'll be through it all in another two years, so I won't be afraid." Lianxiang already has her own little Jiujiu. . Now when asked by Ning Ziyi, he didn't dare to continue to act stupid.
"Scaring you? Hum, don't you remember what happened to Wang Xiaqing? Why was she thrown into the black abyss by the sect master and ended up committing suicide?"
"Wang Xiaqing was punished because she wanted to rebel. I'm not one of them."
"During the mission, it is strictly forbidden to be emotional, and it is even more forbidden to reveal your identity. That's why you are asked not to have your heart with others, don't you understand? Xiao Xiang'er, listen to my sister, you must take your heart back and don't take risks again! Everything will wait. Let’s talk after you leave here in two years, okay?”
Lianxiang pursed her lips and said nothing. Ning Ziyi could only continue to persuade her earnestly.
...
Just when Lianxiang was being nagged by Ning Ziyi, Shen Hao was sitting on the chair in the carriage, his eyes closed and lost in thought.
Just before leaving Hongenyuan, Lianxiang took his hand and secretly wrote a word on his palm. Now after careful analysis, I realized that it is the word "toad".
What is this reminding him of?
The first thing Shen Hao thought of was that Lianxiang mentioned during the dinner that someone was checking his details. This should be true. It's just that Lianxiang can't say it clearly, or is it inconvenient to say it? So writing in the palm of your hand is a secret reminder?
The word "toad" is not common. Shen Hao's first reaction was: Tianchan Sect.
Yu Shengjue, a genius disciple of Tianchan Sect, died in the hands of Shen Hao. His ancestor Yu Aofeng had tested Shen Hao face to face on Chang Baifeng before. I thought the matter had come to an end for now, but who would have thought that they were still secretly checking on him. It was obvious that he had not been ruled out as a suspect.
Fortunately, Shen Hao has always been cautious. The only thing that can be regarded as a flaw in his body is the box of medium-grade spiritual stones. Now he is not in his hands, but has been given to Feilong to slowly exchange them on the black market. The possibility of revealing the truth is very small.
But this incident once again reminded Shen Hao.
In addition, the organization or sect that Lianxiang belongs to should have a good background, otherwise Yu Aofeng would not find their way to them.
