In the painting boat, Wang Xinyu and Hong Sheng sat facing each other, Luo Xiang stood on one side, but the five female dependents sat on the other side, with the piano in the center, and the five people took turns to play the tune.

First Xiangyu sat in the middle to play, although this little Lori is young, but the level of playing the piano is extremely superb, I saw her caressing the ice strings, the slender ten fingers like clouds and flowing water in the strings, the song played is euphemistic but resolute, coupons come from, and like mountains and flowing water, bubbling charm.

"What a Peugeot's little Lori! People are beautiful, and they play the piano well! It's much better than my fiancée, Miss Qian! Wang Xinyu sighed in his heart.

Next, it was Xiang Ning who came up to play, and she sat down slowly, her slender and graceful hands gently stroking the strings, stroking up the rippling musical notes. The timbre is like a pool of clear water, like a gust of breeze on the lake on a summer night, which makes people's hearts relaxed and clear. After all, he is older than Xiangyu and knows how to be polite. At the end of the song, he got up and smiled: "The little woman is ugly!" ”

When the two little loli were playing, Wang Xinyu stared at them intently, and his heart showed envy: What a pair of jade sisters! As the saying goes, Suzhou and Hangzhou produce beautiful women, these two little Lori, when they grow up, they are all disaster levels that will captivate the country and the city! Their looks are not even below my fiancée, who claims to be the first beauty in Suzhou!

When they grow up, they can really take them all! In fact, in this era, these two little beauties are not too young, and they can get married in a year or two.

But just when Wang Xinyu was thinking nonsense, Qian Zhiyu felt that his fiancé was peeking at the two best little Lori, so he glared at him viciously, making Wang Xinyu turn his head in fright.

It's Huang Hui's turn to play again, and her level is above the two little Lori, only to see that Qianqianyu fingers playing quickly on the strings, the sound of the piano is sharp, high, but not abrupt, like countless fierce horses running, fierce and fierce.

"Sister, it's your turn!" After Huang Hui's song ended, Xiangning and Xiangyu kept pulling the corners of Qian Zhiyu's clothes, begging her to come to a song too.

Worried that he would be ugly, he didn't dare to go up to perform, but he couldn't beat the two little sisters, Qian Zhiyu had no choice but to sit down. It's also strange to say, after changing the piano, Qian Zhiyu is like a different person. I saw her fall and be generous, sitting in front of the ice strings, the jade hand was lightly plucked, and her hands were beating on the guqin, the sound was beautiful, like the sound of heaven, and it was around the beam for three days!

"Good! Good! Good! Hong Sheng applauded again and again.

Huang Hui and the other three daughters also praised endlessly, Huang Hui grabbed the corner of Qian Zhiyu's clothes and said, "I didn't expect Mrs. to have such superb piano skills!" The little woman sighed to herself! ”

"My sister's piano skills are already better than ours, but our piano is good, and if my sister has a good piano, it will show her real piano skills." Xiang Ning smiled and groaned, obviously looking very happy.

When it comes to wine, Wang Xinyu can only be a song, but he doesn't know anything about singing, whether it is poetry or writing, it is not his strength. But listening to Hong Sheng's conversation, he was a talented man who could compose poems and music. Through conversation, Wang Xinyu knew that Hong Sheng's wife was Huang Ji's granddaughter, Huang Hui, and the word Lanci.

"Huang Ji? I'm a little impressed! Could it be Huang Xigon's brother? If it is Huang Ji's granddaughter, it is indeed good to be a talented girl. It's just that Huang Ji serves the Qing court, and he has to find a way to let Hong Sheng's wife help, so that her grandfather will turn back and stop doing things for the Qing court! If Huang Ji and Huang Xigon continue to be obsessed, then they can't blame me in the future! Wang Xinyu said secretly in his heart.

Although Wang Xinyu could not recite poetry, he could sketch the beautiful scenery of the future of Jiangnan, such as vigorously developing commerce, supporting merchants, developing industry, and taking the road of maritime trade. Wang Xinyu also said that the world is so big, and there is a vast world overseas, and we in China should develop outward, so that the people can live a good life.

In fact, Hong Sheng was an opera writer, and after listening to Wang Xinyu's description, he was very interested in helping the Ming army write a play, write a play that described the people living and working in peace and contentment under the rule of the Ming army, and also write a tragic drama about the misery of the people under the rule of the Qing court.

But there is another thing that Hong Sheng wants to mention, but he doesn't dare to mention.

Wang Xinyu saw that Hong Sheng seemed to be hesitating about something, his lips squirmed, but he couldn't speak. After a while, Hong Sheng mustered up the courage to speak: "Lord Wang, the grass people have a request, I don't know whether to say it or not. ”

"It's still called Lord Wang! I'm older than you, so it's good if you call me Brother Wang in the future! I'll call you Hong Gongzi! Speaking of which, Wang Xinyu still loves this talented young talent very much.

It's just the name Hong Sheng, even if Wang Xinyu, who has poor historical knowledge, scratches the back of his head, he can't remember what kind of character this person is. It stands to reason that such a talented person, and he is also married to Huang Ji's granddaughter and Huang Xigon's niece, how can such a person not be famous in history?

"Since the eldest brother is so polite, the younger brother is bold and outspoken!" Hong Sheng stood up and saluted Wang Xinyu, "Brother Wang, although the younger brother's wife is the granddaughter of a Qing court official, her father is an honest businessman!" Last year, when King Yanping entered Hangzhou, Humble Jing's family suffered a flying disaster, and most of the family property was confiscated by King Yanping and Lord Zhang, leaving only one shop, and the family barely made a living from it. If the eldest brother can help and help Jing recover some of the family property, the younger brother is grateful here! ”

Wang Xinyu felt a little embarrassed: at that time, confiscating the property of the Jiangnan Shi clan that someone at home was an official in the Qing court, which was a strategy set by him and Zhang Huangyan together, and it was also a way to rob the rich and help the poor. In fact, Huang Ji and Huang Xigon are okay, their Huang family was only robbed of most of their family property, and a small part was left so that their family could live.

And hardcore traitors like the Cai family not only confiscated their property, but also cut off a few people, and the rest were imprisoned, or sent to Nanyang as coolies.

It may be that Zhang Huangyan saw that Huang Ji and Huang Xigon were not raised and did not do anything bad, so he did not embarrass their families, but just copied the family property.

If you help Hongsheng get his wife's family property back, it is obviously not in line with the regulations of the Ming army!

But he has a good impression of Hong Sheng, and he likes his two younger sisters, if he doesn't help with this, then he still expects him to give his sister to himself in the future?

Pregnant! Didn't you just think about it, through Huang Hui to write a letter to her grandfather, asking her grandfather to abandon the dark and turn to the light, and stop doing things for the Qing court? If she is willing to do this, and Huang Ji is willing to cooperate, then it will be nothing to return the family property to her at that time.

Thinking of this, Wang Xinyu arched his hand and said: "Gongzi Hong, the Tartars in the north and our Ming Dynasty are feuding, the enemy and us are incompatible, and the grandfather of the lady is an official for the Tartars, I'm afraid it is a little difficult, and the brother can only try his best to see." In this way, if you want to return the family property of Mrs., as long as Mrs. can write a letter to her grandfather and ask Lord Huang to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, then Lord Zhang will be able to talk and will definitely return all the family property. ”

Huang Hui also heard Wang Xinyu's words, so she stepped forward and said a blessing: "Lord Wang, the Tartar and I are incompatible, and the women are willing to write to their grandfather, persuading him and his uncle to abandon the darkness and turn to the light together, and stop doing things for the Tartar court!" ”

Wang Xinyu said: "Gongzi Hong, Mrs. Hong, for the brother also put the ugly words in front, if they are obsessed and resolutely refuse to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, there is nothing they can do for the brother, I hope the two of you will forgive me!" ”

"Brother Wang can help with this, the little woman is already grateful! If the grandfather and uncle refuse to listen to the persuasion, it is also their own obsession, and the little woman will never blame the eldest brother. Huang Hui said a blessing.

"Madame understands righteousness and is very intelligent, Brother Hong, you are so blessed!" Wang Xinyu said with a smile.

Next, Wang Xinyu chatted with Hong Sheng a little, Hong Sheng just listened to Wang Xinyu's description, thinking of the three major Jiangnan cases and other events created by the Qing court, how many scholars were killed, Hong Sheng was also indignant: "The Tartars killed my Jiangnan Shizi, saying that they were creating unjust cases, but in fact, they didn't want to rob money?" Over the years, the people of Jiangnan have been under the rule of the Tartars, and they have been really miserable! Fortunately, with your arrival, you didn't let the Tartars poison more people in Jiangnan! ”

Speaking of which, this Hongsheng was not a person loyal to the Qing court, he was deeply taught by Confucian masters in the late Ming Dynasty, and he has always cherished his homeland.

It can be seen from the works written by Hong Sheng that he is actually secretly ridiculing the Qing court and nostalgic for the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Xinyu also saw that Hong Sheng was indeed an upright person, and he admired him even more.

The sky gradually darkened, and at the end of the song, Wang Xinyu was actually ready to say goodbye: "Gongzi Hong, it's getting late, and the brother and Humble Jing have not yet married, if she goes back late, her family will talk about her, and I hope the son will forgive me!" ”

"Brother Wang! Then there will be a period later! Hong Sheng hurriedly stood up and saluted back.

Just when Wang Xinyu and the others were about to say goodbye, Huang Hui came over and whispered a few words in Hong Sheng's ear.

Hong Sheng arched his hand to Wang Xinyu and said: "Brother Wang, although you and I are first acquaintances, you and I have a thousand glasses of wine for confidants!" Mrs. Wang loves to play the piano and has good piano skills, but unfortunately there is no good piano. The little brother will give the ice string to the lady! ”

"This! What's so embarrassing about that? Wang Xinyu was shocked. Such a valuable gift, I am really embarrassed to accept it. But seeing the joy in Qian Zhiyu's eyes, Wang Xinyu didn't know what to say.

Huang Hui hugged the ice string, and Ying Ying walked in front of Qian Zhiyu: "I hope my sister-in-law will accept it!" ”

If you have received such a valuable gift from someone else, what should you give in return? But you don't have anything with you? Pregnant! I just brought a packet of Nanyang toffee on my body, so I gave it to the two little Lori. So Wang Xinyu gave the toffee to the two little beauties.

Obviously, the two little beauties were very happy to take the toffee, and the younger sister even took it apart and tasted it, making her so sweet.

Wang Xinyu looked at the sister flowers, and felt a little uneasy: Isn't this like a big bad wolf who uses a lollipop to deceive a little girl? So he embarrassedly bowed his hand to Hong Sheng: "Good brother! Brother didn't bring a precious gift this time, and the next time you and I meet, I will definitely give you a generous gift! ”

"Please rest assured, Brother Wang! The people you describe live and work in peace and contentment, and the younger brother will write a play; The younger brother will also write about the misery of the people under the iron hooves of the Tartars! It can be regarded as a modest contribution to my Ming! When he finally said goodbye, Hong Sheng left a word.

"I remember! South Hong North Kong! Famous opera writer! It is said that Dream of Red Mansions was actually written by him! It's just that Cao Xueqin took it and used it! Wang Xinyu suddenly woke up.

Xiangning Xiangyu is the sister of Jia Baoyu in the twelve hairpins of Jinling; Huang Hui is the prototype of Wang Xifeng! (To be continued.) )
