"Husband, why don't you call someone to accompany you and change the soup and add wine?" Sun Erniang asked with a smile.

Zhang Zhengdao shook his head quickly and said: "My husband has always been upright, how can I be that kind of person? I can do it myself and have enough food and clothing!"

Sun Erniang continued with a smile and said: "It doesn't hurt to call someone. It's so long-winded."

Zhang Zhengdao has been in the entertainment scene for many years, how could he be fooled by such a simple thing? He shook his head and said resolutely: "Madam, you and I have to drink and have some whispers. It would be inconvenient for others to listen."

Sun Erniang saw that he knew his appearance, rolled her eyes at him, and then whispered: "I am still not very skilled in equestrian skills. I will go back later and my husband will teach me."

This woman seems to be quite addicted to horse riding. Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "Don't worry, ma'am, I will make your riding skills superb."

The two chatted and laughed for a while, and the food and wine they ordered were brought out one after another.

Zhang Zhengdao and Sun Erniang picked up their chopsticks and tasted them one by one, and they found they had a unique taste.

After eating half a glass of wine, I heard the noise gradually getting louder. I looked up and saw that at some point, all the guests in the upstairs pavilion came out and stood in the corridor, their eyes focused on the stage downstairs.

.

Zhang Zhengdao sat up straight and saw only a woman sitting on the stage, with a long and flat guqin in front of her, as if she was about to start singing and performing.

Because Zhang Zhengdao was sitting in the northwest corner of the hall, he could only see her sideways and could not see the woman's face.

"Zheng, Zheng!"

The woman plucked the strings of the piano, and it was clear and sweet, and the room in the Fan Tower became silent for an instant.

"The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night. Even more, it blows down, and the stars are like rain. BMW carvings and carriages fill the road with fragrance. The sound of phoenix and flute moves, the light of jade pot turns, and the fish and dragon dance all night."

The woman, with her bright jade fingers, plucked the strings and sang the words in a soft voice, with true rhyme and subtle rhyme.

A beautiful woman has a sandalwood mouth, white teeth and ice-cold skin. Her thoughts convey her thoughts, her words are sweet and trembling, and her words are like pearls.

Zhang Zhengdao was stunned. How could this poem be sung here? Could it be that Dong Jin'er also came to Bianliang City?

He raised his head and looked around, but there were so many people inside the building, Dong Jin'er was nowhere to be seen.

At this time, the woman on the stage stopped singing and focused on strumming the strings. However, after hearing a gust of caressing, the sound of the piano changed again, becoming melodious and euphemistic.

The woman then sang in a low voice: "The moth is a golden strand of snow and willow. The laughter is filled with the secret fragrance. The crowd is searching for him a thousand times. When I look back at dusk, that person is there, in the dimly lit place."

"The crowd looked for him a thousand times. Suddenly I looked back, and there he was, in a dimly lit place."

The woman repeated the last sentence three times before holding down the strings and sitting in silence with her head bowed.

The faint sound of the piano, coupled with the woman's unique voice, is somehow inexplicably sad.

Everyone was attracted by the singing, and it wasn't until the woman finished singing that they came back to their senses and applauded enthusiastically.

"Master Zhao, this song "The Case of Green Jade: Yuanxi" was sung by you on the stage during the Lantern Festival this year at the Fanlou Hall meeting, beating Master Li by half. Students dare to ask, what exactly does this word mean?

Who did it?"

In the corridor on the second floor, a thin young scholar asked loudly.

"Yes, Mr. Zhao, everyone has always been curious about which talented person in Bianliang City wrote this poem?" Someone asked loudly in agreement.

"It's so unpleasant to cover up!"

Everyone was talking and talking.

Zhao Yuannu, who was sitting on the stage and had not yet gotten up, raised his head and saw that the young student upstairs was someone he knew well, so he replied: "It turns out to be Mr. Li."

When everyone saw her speaking, they all fell silent and waited for Zhao's reply on the stage.

After Zhao Yuannu looked around, he continued: "This song "The Sapphire Case" was written by the husband of a good sister of the Nu family, but that man is not in Bianliang City, Tokyo."

"Master Zhao, are you talking about Li Yi'an's husband Zhao Mingcheng, who is far away in Qingzhou?" Mr. Li thought for a moment, then shook his head and said: "This poem "The Sapphire Case" is completely different from Zhao Mingcheng's style of writing, and it must not have been written by him.

."

"What Mr. Li is saying is that Zhao Mingcheng only loves gold and stone. How could he be so talented and write such a masterpiece? If it was written by his wife Li Qingzhao, I would be somewhat convinced." Another scholar dressed as a scholar followed and shouted.

.

"Master Zhao, please tell me clearly. He has been hiding his name for more than two months, which has overshadowed everyone in Li. If you don't tell everyone, you will be acting on airs."

A middle-aged scribe shouted.

"Yes, Mr. Zhao, if you continue to hide it, it will be meaningless."

Everyone shouted loudly. Although they were very respectful to Zhao Yuannu, their dissatisfaction was written all over their faces.

Seeing the anger among the crowd, Zhao Yuannu thought to himself that if he tried to cover it up again, he would offend many young talents present and lose some of his reputation. Anyway, in the past two months, with two amazing lyrics, he had already surpassed Master Li.

She was so overwhelmed that she even stole the show at the Yuanxi Hall meeting.

This year's number one oiran of the Song Dynasty is probably in his own pocket, and he has no chance with Master Li.

Zhao Yuannu thought again in his mind that the person was not here anyway, so he promoted this reputation for him. Even if the person knew about it in the future, instead of blaming him, he would probably be grateful to him.

At that moment, Zhao Yuannu chuckled lightly, then stood up, walked a few steps on the stage, leaned over, sang a song, and then said: "This person is from Qinghe County, Yunzhou, and has never been to Bianliang City.

”

When Sun Erniang heard what Zhao Yuannu said, she couldn't help but glance at Zhang Zhengdao. How could there be such a scholar in Qinghe County? She wondered if he knew her husband.

Zhang Zhengdao secretly cried out, fearing that he would suffer. The high-ranking officials just wanted to make a fortune in silence, work hard to "farm" development, and secretly harvest beauties from all over the world, and did not want to become famous in the world.

What's more, there is a "Dominatrix" sitting in front of me, but I have never dared to tell her that there are many women in the family.

Zhang Zhengdao couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the lancet!

He wanted to step forward and stop Zhao Yuannu, but he had no excuse. Zhang Zhengdao was so anxious that he was like an ant on a hot pot.

"Husband, why are you sweating?" Sun Erniang, who had been paying attention to him, asked.

Zhang Zhengdao gave her an awkward smile, shook his head and said, "Maybe it's a little hot because there are so many people in this hall."

But I heard Zhao Yuannu, who was standing on the stage, say: "The official who wrote the lyrics is from Qinghe County, Yunzhou. His surname is Zhang and his name is Maode."

Zhang Zhengdao breathed a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, Zhao Yuannu said his own name. He had never mentioned this name to Sun Yuan and Sun Erniang.

Sun Erniang looked at her husband, who was a bit strange, and then at the woman on the stage. She frowned and felt suspicious.

"Zhang Maode?"

After hearing this, everyone in the Fan Tower shook their heads, indicating that they did not know this person.

Zhao Yuannu chuckled lightly and continued: "This high-ranking official Zhang Maode, whose courtesy name is Zhengdao, is the shopkeeper of Shishi Tower in Qinghe County, and has a rich family fortune."

Zhang Zhengdao was completely stunned, then he twisted his neck and turned to look at Sun Erniang. With an awkward smile on his face, he murmured: "Madam, please listen to me and explain to you."
