    When Shi Quan saw Fang Jinshi coming back, he came over and asked, "What's taking you so long? Can you leave?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "The royal official invited me to visit Ning Mansion in Jinguo, and promised to give me the girl Cui who played and sang on the stage."

    Shi Quan immediately frowned and said: "What do you mean by going for a walk? Brother, the Jin Kingdom is so ambitious that it will definitely start a war with the Song Dynasty again in the future. We are from the Song Dynasty. Even if we cannot serve the imperial court, we will never act as helpers for the Jurchens.  No matter how great the official Xu is, no matter how beautiful the woman is, there is no way he can do it."

    Fang Jinshi said solemnly: "Brother, don't worry, I will always keep this in mind, and I will never forget that I am from Song Dynasty."

    Shi Quan stepped forward and pressed his shoulder, and said sincerely: "Actually, I'm not worried about you, but you are a bitI'm afraid that you will lose your mind due to your beauty, and if you make a mistake, it will become an eternal regret.  You know that the greater your ability, the greater the mistakes you may make, but you must take care of yourself."

    Fang Jinshi said: "I know, I have never thought about working hard for the Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom."

    Feng Wan asked Shi Quan, "Are you annoyed? Brothers are not children. They are all married and have their own business. They have their own way of doing things, so why should you always nag me?"

    Shi Quandao: "What do you know? If I don't watch him carefully, if I go the wrong way, it will be too late to regret."

    Fang Jinshi said: "Brother is right. From now on, if the women in my family and I do something wrong, you two, as eldest brother and sister-in-law, must not hide your worries and not tell them.  We consider ourselves family.¡±

    Feng Wandao: "Brother is still sensible and reasonable. He is much more capable than you, and he still needs you to teach him endlessly every day?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "Then let's go back."

    Shi Quandao: "Have you made an agreement with that royal official?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "He left me to wait in the courtyard to listen to Miss Cui playing the piano. Ignore him. Let's go back."

    Shi Quandao: "It's always rude to do this. Although you are determined to reject him, it's best not to offend him. It doesn't hurt to listen to Qin and go back to find out more."

    Fang Jinshi said: "Okay." He turned to his two women and said: "You two must listen carefully to the teachings of your elder brothers and sisters-in-law. You must never do what they say you can't do and shouldn't do. Do you understand?  Especially Lao Wu who just came, did you hear that?"

    Master Li replied: "I understand, I will never dare to break the rules at home."

    Shi Quan quickly said: "That's not what I meant."

    Fang Jinshi said: "My eldest brother is like my father. Sometimes I worry when I go to bed at night. I am always afraid that I will do something wrong. With my eldest brother always reminding me, I feel more at ease."

    Shi Quan smiled and said: "Then I'll just assume that you don't mind me being too talkative. In fact, you've always done well in big things, but in small things, there are always things that don't satisfy me. Maybe I'm really old-fashioned."  Point, it¡¯s not really your fault.¡±

    Fang Jinshi said: "You scolded me because you were doing me a favor, how could I not know that?"

    Feng Wan said on the side: "You two brothers have been talking about it, but you haven't found a place to sit down. Our women's bodies are very delicate. I'm used to doing heavy work. Brother, you don't know how to feel sad."  My own."

    Fang Jinshi said hurriedly: "Okay, okay, let's go upstairs and have a seat. We may have to wait until very late."

    So he led everyone up to the original room on the second floor, and went outside to find Li Bao. He thought he couldn't let Li Bao wait outside for the carriage without eating something.

    After waiting for a long time, the sun went to the west and night gradually enveloped the house. The lights were lit in the house. Tang Kuobian came forward and said, "Master Wang, please invite Mr. Fang to listen to the piano in the front yard."

    Fang Jinshi stood up immediately and led everyone to follow Tang Kuobian to the front courtyard. Several low tables had been set up here.  Shi Quan said: "Brother, come and sit here."

    Shi Quandao: "It's you who are invited by others, so we can just stand."

    Fang Jinshi thought about it, it was not the time to be polite here, so he sat down at the low table. He looked around and saw Dong Zhongsun raising his glass and saluting him. Fang Jinshi thought about it carefully again and again, and indeed he had not done so before.  Have seen this person.

    Xin Xingzong sat there without saying a word, just eating food and drinking. After a while, Wanyan Wushu and Wang Yan walked out together, followed by Lu Xiao. The three of them walked in and Lu Xiao sat down at a low table.  , Wanyan Wushu went to say hello to Fang Jinshi and others, and then sat at the host's table with Wang Yan.

    After sitting down, Wanyan Wushu argued to Tang Kuo:"Now that everyone is here, please ask Miss Cui to come out."

    Tang Kuobian walked to the back. After a while, Cui Niannu led a girl out slowly. At this time, she changed into a green dress. Under the candlelight, her bright eyes and white teeth were extremely bright.  , absolutely worthy of her name, she stood in the middle of the field, attracting everyone to look at her sideways.

    Wanyan Wushu smiled slightly and said, "Miss Cui, how about a toast to the four distinguished friends I invited?"

    Cui Niannu lowered his head and said, "Yes." The girl next to her went to get a tray, which contained a wine pot and a wine glass. Cui Niannu walked to the nearest Xin Xingzong and toasted him with a glass of wine.  His eyes never left her figure, and he didn't turn his eyes slightly until she reached Lu Xiao's table.

    She respectfully toasted Lu Xiao with a glass of wine and said, "Please, Mr. Lu."

    Lu Xiao took it and looked at her face and said, "Beauties come from the south of the Yangtze River. This girl Cui is from the south of the Yangtze River."

    Cui Niannu said with a smile: "Thank you Mr. Lu for the compliment."

    Lu Xiao didn¡¯t say anything more. After drinking, he sat down again. Cui Niannu turned to Dong Zhongsun and offered a toast: ¡°Tong Dong, please invite me.¡±

    Dong Zhongsun took it and looked at her and said: "It turns out that there is such a beautiful woman in the world. I didn't go on the ship before, and I thought she was just a vulgar girl. I really regret it when I think about it."

    Cui Niannu bit his lip and smiled, "It's not too late for Commander Dong to see me now."

    Dong Cusun turned to his side and entered the stone and said: "How can one drink be enough? Mr. Fang, I gave you the drink she offered to you. Don't blame me."

    Fang Jinshi said: "Then there will be a labor director." He understood that Dong Zhongsun was reminding him not to forget what he said to him when he chased him into the toilet, but at this time Fang Jinshi still didn't understand what Dong Zhongsun meant.  .

    Dong Zhongsun chuckled and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Fang." After finishing the wine in one gulp, he drank two glasses of wine sent by Cui Niannu before sitting down.

    How could a woman like Cui Niannu offer him an extra toast and then deliberately omit Fang Jinshi? She walked to Fang Jinshi's table with the wine in hand and said, "Master Fang, please."

    Fang Jinshi took it and said, "Thank you Miss Cui for the wine." As he drank it, Cui Niannu walked closer. Shi Quan and the others behind Fang Jinshi went to see her together, although Cui Niannu was not used to being looked at directly.  It's strange, but the three women with their faces covered standing behind Fang Jinshi all looked at her, which still made Cui Niannu feel a little strange. Although these three women couldn't see their faces, they always felt that they were definitely not ugly.  .

    After Fang Jinshi finished drinking, Cui Niannu turned around and left, but she looked back at Fang Jinshi. When they met in the boat before, Fang Jinshi was ordinary in clothes and appearance. His conversation and knowledge were not all that impressed her, and she even believed him.  Fang Jinshi was just an ordinary merchant that Wanyan Wushu had overlooked, but the three masked women standing behind him at this time made her somewhat shaken in her previous judgment.

    Wanyan Wushu watched her return to the front after the toast, picked up the wine glass and said, "Everyone, how about we drink three glasses first?"

    Everyone picked up the wine and drank three glasses together. Wanyan Wushu said: "I know you are anxious and want to hear Miss Cui play the piano as soon as possible. So I won't go on and on, and I will ask Miss Cui to play a few songs."

    Cui Niannu bowed to him, and a piano master placed the piano in the middle. Cui Niannu sat in front of the piano, stopped smiling, and plucked the strings with his slender fingers, and the sound came out crisply from the piano.

    The song she played had a lively rhythm. It was as fast as thunder and lightning at the beginning, and then slowed down a little. Fang Jinshi had never heard this piece before, but he thought it was very nice. The sound of the piano was mostly melodious and loose. With such an urgent sound, Fang Jinshi  It was also the first time he heard it, and he just heard it was pleasant to the ears. He couldn't judge whether it was played well or not.

    At the end of the song, Dong Zhongsun was already cheering loudly. Cui Niannu looked back at him with a smile and asked, "General Dong, what's so good about my piano sound? I'd like to ask you for advice."

    Dong Zhongsun said: "What Miss Cui plays is naturally good."

    Cui Niannu said: "What I did just now was just an audition to show off my skills, not what kind of music it was. I can't say whether it's good or bad."

    Dong Zhongsun said angrily: "Thatthat is also good."

    Cui Niannu covered his mouth with a smile, lowered his head to stroke the piano, and played a soft piece of music carefully. Fang Jinshi had heard of this piece before, but he just couldn't name it. Cui Niannu played it really well, and the sound of the piano was really good.  Slowly flowing through her fingertips, it was like singing or weeping. It was very pleasant to sing softly.

    She played another song. Dong Zhongsun paused for a moment and said tentatively: "Can I applaud this time?"

    Wanyan Wushu said: "Of course, Miss Cui really plays this piece very well. If you don't applaud, how can you treat Miss Cui?"??Such a beautiful piano sound.  "

    Dong Zhongsun cheered loudly for several times. Wanyan Wushu waited for him to finish shouting and said to Fang Jinshi: "Miss Cui playing alone may not be monotonous. Mr. Fang is surrounded by masters of playing the piano. If you are interested, you may as well stop playing.  The last song also opened my eyes."

    Fang Jinshi said: "The king is joking. Miss Cui's piano skills are unparalleled in the world. The king asked my people to play the piano in front of Miss Cui. Aren't they making me look embarrassed?"

    Wanyan Wushu said: "That's not necessarily the case. Although Miss Cui's piano skills are good, she doesn't dare to be the best in the world. Whether we can appreciate the unparalleled piano skills in the world depends on Brother Fang's mood today.  "

    After he said this, everyone looked here together. Fang Jinshi turned his head and looked at the three women behind him. Needless to say, Xue Ling, she did not have the strength. Fang Jinshi wanted to let the orb go up and play a song to prevaricate.  After being fooled, Master Li leaned over and whispered in his ear: "I listen to you."

    Fang Jinshi laughed, stood up and said, "How about playing the piano? It's not difficult. Although some of the women around me can play, they can't compare to me in terms of masters."

    Everyone was shocked by what he said. Even Wanyan Wushu was surprised and asked, "Brother Fang, can you play?"

    Fang Jinshi walked to the piano in the middle, plucked a note with his hand, and asked, "Guan Wang, don't you believe I can play the piano?"

    Wanyan Wushu said: "It would be a worthwhile trip if I could hear Brother Fang playing the piano."

    Fang Jinshi said: "Okay, I will play a song to show off my ugliness." He rolled up his sleeves, gently stroked the strings, and started playing seriously. This is a song "Xiaoya" that Fang Jinshi has heard countless times.  This was the song that Yun Nuer had played to him the most before. Later, he asked Huang Jinmian to teach him a few times, and he was basically able to play it.

    It's just that he hadn't played for a long time, and he made several wrong notes in succession. There was one note that he couldn't play correctly even after searching for it several times. Cui Niannu smiled, walked to him and played it gently, which was the correct scale. Fang Jinshi played again.  After a few plays, he couldn't find the right note and couldn't play it out of tune. Cui Niannu helped him find it again. With Cui Niannu's help, he finally played the piece completely.

    Dong Zhongsun waited for him to stop and asked, "Is it over?"

    Cui Niannu said: "It's done."

    Dong Zhongsun shouted "Okay" loudly several times, and he was the only one in the audience shouting and cheering. Wanyan Wushu said: "It is really rare to hear Brother Fang playing the piano."

    Fang Jinshi said: "I've been ugly before, so there's no need for my people to play again."

    Wanyan Wushu had no choice but to say: "Brother Fang ended up in person, which is enough of a reward."

    Dong Zhongsun said: "Master Fang and Miss Cui just played the piano together. They are really a perfect match, which is enviable."

    Cui Niannu said hurriedly: "General Dong is joking, how can I be worthy of Young Master Shang?"

    Wanyan Wushu said: "What Commander Dong said is exactly what I want. It's just that Mr. Fang has his own interests, so I'm afraid he won't care about Miss Cui."

    Dong Zhongsun said: "Really? The beauty next to Mr. Fang is said to be the incomparable Miss Cui Niannu. Even if she beats me to death, I won't believe it."

    Wanyan Wushu said: "Then you have to ask Young Master Fang."

    Dong Zhongsun turned to Fang Jinshi and said: "Master Fang, if there is a chance to get Miss Cui, you will definitely be willing, right?"

    Although Fang Jinshi looked at his face, it was obvious that Dong Zhongsun asked him to answer yes, because Dong Zhongsun told him before in the toilet that Cui Niannu could not be allowed to fall into the hands of others. Fang Jinshi must have made up his mind slightly and replied:  "Yes."

    Dong Zhongsun laughed: "Yes, as long as you are a man, you will definitely be tempted when you see a beautiful woman like Miss Cui. I don't believe there is a man in this world who doesn't want her."

    A person behind him said: "That's not necessarily the case."

    Dong Zhongsun turned around and saw Lu Xiao slowly standing up and saying: "Master Wang, you said you would help me go to Jiangnan to rob people, have you arranged the manpower?"

    Wanyan Wushu said: "The arrangements have been made and we can set off today."

    Lu Xiao dropped the wine glass in his hand and said, "Why are you wasting your time here? Mr. Wang, what if you can't grab it?"

    Wanyan Wushu said: "I must do my best."

    Lu Xiao looked at Cui Niannu and said, "If you can't grab her, can you keep her for me?" His eyes were full of coldness, which made Cui Niannu's heart tremble. Wanyan Wushu hesitated for a moment before saying: "  I'm afraid this is a bit embarrassing, there is only one Miss Cui and everyone wants her, how should I divide it up?"
