The commotion on the stage downstairs became more and more embarrassing. Shao Jinqiu, who was drunk and drunk, clung to the little girl for dear life. The little girl was surrounded by the crowd and could not squeeze out. She was blushing and about to cry.

By chance, there was a gap in the crowd, and Ziyuan got a good look at the little girl's face. This look made Ziyuan dumbfounded.

The little girl Shao Jinqiu chose turned out to be his long-lost sister Zhu Sheng.

Before the disaster in Lin Zhenfang, Ziyuan heard that Zhusheng had found a good family. Although they were not familiar with each other, Ziyuan still silently blessed Zhusheng.

She wondered, Zhusheng had found a good family, so why did he come to make trouble with this group of confused and infatuated girls?

There were so many beautiful women to choose from, why did Shao Jinqiu fall in love with Zhu Sheng's skinny appearance?

Could it be that Zhu Sheng's good deeds have changed? Or is this little girl not serious at heart?

Along with the suspicion, the joy of meeting an old friend turned into a touch of contempt, and the smile disappeared from her face. Ziyuan looked at Shao Jinqiu and Zhusheng with cold eyes in the audience, thinking that she had to talk to Yin Puxuan about this matter in the evening.

Shao Jinqiu was also very stubborn and insisted on giving the hydrangea to Zhusheng. Zhusheng suppressed a big red face and refused to give up. You pushed me and I seemed to be dancing.

The women gathered around him jeered and booed, and some who were close by wanted to vent their jealousy by pulling bamboo hair by their hair.

How could Shao Jinqiu let these jealous jars hurt Zhusheng? He simply put the hydrangea in his arms, clasped Zhusheng's two thin wrists with both hands, pulled her to the left and right to squeeze up the stairs to the second floor, and kept looking at her at the same time.

Signaling to the book boy and the shopkeeper on duty.

The shopkeeper hurriedly called the waiter and pushed and pushed the disappointed women downstairs. No matter how they cried and cursed, Shao Jinqiu ignored them and went up to the private room on the second floor while pulling bamboos.

The enemy's road was narrow, and Shao Jinqiu's box happened to be the empty box next to Ziyuan. The boxes were only separated by hollow wooden walls and silk curtains, which blocked light but not sound. The sound from there was clearly transmitted to Ziyuan's side.

"'The lake reflects layers of green, and the wind shakes softly'. I remembered that the girl was called 'Bamboo Language', right?" Shao Jinqiu was drunk, and his words were somewhat frivolous.

Zhusheng's voice was very embarrassed, and you could imagine how embarrassed she was without looking at her: "What on earth are you trying to do? I'm going home!"

Shao Jinqiu seemed to be pulling and pulling at the bamboo, saying, "What are you anxious about, Miss Bamboo? It's a beautiful night, how about a drink together?"

Zhusheng refused: "I don't know how to drink, please let me go!"

Shao Jinqiu said hurriedly: "You still don't know how to drink? You and I hit it off right away in Gangji City, and we talked over drinks. Have you forgotten our love that night? But do you think Shao is irresponsible?"

Hearing this, Zi Yuan's heart skipped a beat, thinking that Zhu Sheng had already thrown herself into the arms of this prodigal son, but she heard Zhu Sheng's refutation with shame and annoyance.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who is called 'Bamboo Language' and who is responsible for you... you have recognized the wrong person!"

"It's impossible. Shao will never forget your appearance even after he dies. Aren't you called 'Zhuyu'? Is that called 'Zhuwen'? Or 'Zhuyan'?"

There was a snap, which must have been Shao Jinqiu's slap on the forehead: "I remember, 'the sound of the wind shaking softly' was called 'bamboo sound'!"

The sound of chaotic footsteps came from the next door again. It was obviously the sound of bamboo footsteps. He didn't want to waste any more words and was about to leave. Shao Jinqiu shamelessly stopped him.

At this moment, footsteps sounded in the corridor, and several people entered the next door together.

A female voice sounded, which sounded like a receptionist in the lobby.

"Congratulations to Mr. Shao. Congratulations to Mr. Shao. You have a beautiful woman as your companion tonight. Just ask for any food and drinks you want. The top-quality 'Zuitianxian' and 'Spring Breeze Mash' are all kept for you!"

"If you have any good ones, bring them over. Sister Sheng and I will have a drink and have a good chat!" Shao Jinqiu was half crazy and half proud, "Who is this?"

The waiter in the lobby said: "This is Ms. Xu, the courtesan of Yanzi Tower. She has taken advantage of her own time to come all the way to see you, the great talent Shao. You can't neglect her!"

A woman's delicate voice came through the curtain: "Master Shao is really dedicated. He only brought this little sister up, but left all the sisters downstairs in the cold. If I hadn't relied on Sister Rong's relationship, Yanzi Tower would be here today.

Isn’t your face completely wiped out by Young Master?”

Shao Jinqiu laughed: "We are all friends since we came here. We will never return until we get drunk!"

Sister Rong said again: "This girl is not your friend, but the friend of this little sister."

A cool voice sounded, and Ziyuan sounded very familiar.

"Hello, Mr. Shao, sister Zhusheng, don't you recognize me?"

The sound of bamboo seemed to be in embarrassment and nowhere to hide next door. When someone called, a soft cry suddenly came: "Sister Hanmo, why is it you?"

Ziyuan was surprised.

Hanmo was also from Linzhenfang. She was a waitress in purple, and she was in charge of the maids in green. After the accident in Linzhenfang, it was not known where she ended up, but hearing her soft and moist voice, I guessed that she

You should be doing well.

"I saw you just now, but there were too many people and I couldn't walk past. I wanted to meet you after the show was over. Who knew you were so lucky that Mr. Shao took your chance!"

Zhusheng's voice became even more embarrassed: "Sister, don't talk nonsense about whether you are right or not. This Mr. Shao has recognized the wrong person!"

Shao Jinqiu gave up after hearing this: "What Miss Zhusheng said is wrong. Shao has no other abilities. He is very confident in his photographic memory. How dare you say that the one on the 'Ya Haisheng' on the Wuhai coast of Gangji City is not

You? Isn’t my phrase ‘The lake is reflected in layers of green and the wind is swaying softly’ meant for you? Don’t you call it ‘the sound of bamboo’?”

Zhusheng was so anxious that he was incoherent: "My name is Zhusheng... but in Gangji... I just... I just saw it... it's not the mess you said!"

Shao Jinqiu said proudly: "Come on, sister, just admit it. You slapped me that night, so why don't you have to compensate for my mental trauma today?"

Ziyuan is angry and funny.

What kind of "first talented man" drank some yellow soup and clung to the sound of bamboo like a scoundrel? How obsessed with the sound of bamboo must he be? Or is it just a literati's deep-rooted hobby?

Regardless of her beauty and talent, Zhusheng is mediocre in Linzhenfang. Even Hanmo is more refined than her. I really don't know what is Shao Jinqiu's obsession with Zhusheng.

Listening to the persuasion and pushing from the next door, I was thinking about how to save Zhusheng from the siege, when suddenly the door curtain was raised and Mrs. Liu came in.

"Xiao Yuluo asked me to bring a message to the girl. I'm inviting you to the back house!"

Ziyuan knew that Yin Puxuan was back, so she hurriedly got up and came out, and gave a few instructions to Mrs. Liu along the way.

"There is a girl named Zhusheng in Shao Jinqiu's box next door. She is Sister Puxuan and my sister from Linzhenfang. Please help take care of her. Don't let her drink too much. Just stop drinking in moderation!"

Returning to the back house, Yin Puxuan was sitting in front of the hall, with Yuluo relaxing her shoulders behind her. She wore a mask over her eyes, and there was a faint medicinal smell coming from it.

Hearing that Ziyuan was back, she waved gently, and Yuluo walked out the door knowingly.

After the door was closed, Yin Puxuan did not take off his blindfold and asked Ziyuan, "How is it? Is the front yard busy?"

Ziyuan took over Yu Luo's seat and gently rubbed Yin Puxuan's shoulders. "There is a girl who does magic tricks. Her skills are really good."

Yin Puxuan said: "It must be Wan'er. Her juggling troupe often comes to our house, and there are new tricks every time. I like her very much."

"The craftsmanship is good and the appearance is handsome. He looks familiar!"

"Have you met Shao Jinqiu?"

"Hi, I see you!"

"Listening to your tone, you don't have a good impression of 'the most talented man in Jiangnan'?"

Ziyuan sneered: "It's just superficial, vain and dissolute!"

Yin Puxuan seemed surprised: "Oh, how could he give you such a bad impression?"

"A drunkard and a womanizer, what does it matter if he has some literary talent?"

Yin Puxuan said with a smile: "You are also an old man in Linzhenfang, and you don't see men who are greedy for wine and sex. Why are you so resistant to him? Don't look at his dissolute behavior, but there is a scholar inside.

Those who are capable are just frustrated and drowning their sorrows with wine and looking at the flowers and forgetting about them!"

Ziyuan said mysteriously: "Sister, do you know who I met in front?"

"Who did you meet?"

"The sound of bamboo! And Hamo! The sound of bamboo can be seen, but the Hamo can be heard!" Then he briefly told Yin Puxuan what he saw and heard in the box.

Yin Puxuan sighed softly: "Let them make trouble. It is not easy to get out of Lin Zhenfang. Being free is a blessing."

Ziyuan somehow aroused Yin Puxuan's sadness again, so she quickly changed the topic. "What have you been busy with for the past two days, sister? Do you need Ziyuan's help?"

Yin Puxuan pondered for a moment, reached out and took off his blindfold and looked at Ziyuan.

"I'm going on a long trip. Yuluo will go with me. You can study your spices at home, and Mrs. Liu will take care of your food and daily life."

Ziyuan was surprised: "Where are you going, sister? Will you be away for a long time?"

Yin Puxuan looked towards the north with empty eyes: "As long as a year..."

"Why did it take so long?" Ziyuan turned to Yin Puxuan, took her hand and asked with concern. "You have just arrived home. Is there anything urgent? Where are you going? How can you survive the whole trip?"

She had traveled a long distance herself and knew that the journey was difficult. She also heard that Yin Puxuan had been away for a year or so without saying anything, and her concern was beyond words.

Yin Puxuan smiled lightly and pulled Ziyuan to sit beside him.

"I have some things that I have to do, and I also have some things that I agreed to. It's not too far away, so I just go to the north for a walk. With Yuluo here, I won't have to endure hardships on the road."

Ziyuan suddenly had a persistent thought and held Yin Puxuan's hand hard.

"Ziyuan has no relatives around her. My sister is my only relative. If you want to travel far, Ziyuan is willing to go with you. I have traveled a long distance, and I have spices in hand. The road is more convenient, but staying here will be boring after all.

Don’t panic, please sister, please take Ziyuan with you!”

Yin Puxuan was not in a hurry to refuse, nor was he in a hurry to agree. He thought for a long time and then said: "My trip is not just a sightseeing trip. There will be trouble in some places. I don't want you to suffer or worry!"

"Sister, if you say such unorthodox words, you don't regard Ziyuan as your sister? Sister, you think Ziyon is a spoiled person?"

"It will take three years to go here!"

"What hope does Ziyuan have if she stays in Zhongxuan!"

Yin Puxuan held Zi Yuan in his hand and said, "Have you considered it? Do you really want to go with me?"

Ziyuan nodded firmly.
