0852 Chapter Lies

Zhang Xier said: "Young Master Chen is too modest."

"No, music is divided into two types: vocal music and instrumental music. It can also be divided into classical music, pop music, folk music, country music, original music, etc. In addition, it is divided into oriental music and western music. I cannot understand them all. In fact, I only know a little about vocal music and instrumental music, classical, popular, and national music, but I can't say I am proficient in rural music. I have never been exposed to original music."

Zhang Xier's beautiful eyes were full of brilliance, and she exclaimed: "I didn't expect that Mr. Chen knew so much. Mr. Chen didn't know if he could show it to me to open his eyes."

Chu Nan smiled and said, "It's not a good idea to open your eyes. Why don't you do this? You play a song, and I'll sing and sing and reunite. What do you think?"

"Okay!" Zhang Xier asked, "I wonder which song is better to play?"

Chu Nan thought for a moment and said with a smile: "It's better to play the previous song "Zhaojun Going to the Frontier."

"OK!"

Zhang Xier held the pipa and looked at Chu Nan, then started playing it. The melodious sound of the pipa rippled, and Chu Nan also sang it with the sound of the pipa. In fact, Zhaojun went out of the frontier with only the song and no lyrics, but Chu Nan still echoed the song with his melodious voice, which was elegant and beautiful. Even the two behind them were a little drunk.

After the end of the song, Zhang Xier and the other two also reminisce about it for a long time. After a while, Zhang Xier's eyes were full of spirit. She looked at Chu Nan and said, "Young Master Chen, I didn't expect that you have such achievements in music."

Chu Nan smiled and said, "It's just a personal hobby."

Zhang Xier shook her head and said, "No, you have reached a very high level of professionalism, but it's not just a hobby."

Chu Nan suddenly laughed and said, "If I say I am a genius, do you believe it?"

Zhang Xier and Chu Nan looked at each other, and both of them laughed.

Chu Nan smiled and said, "Actually, I'm such a genius, I'm not kidding anymore, haha. By the way, I have always liked this song, especially after I saw you, I immediately thought of this song."

"Oh?" Zhang Xier said with a curious look, "Why?"

"Because you look very similar to Wang Zhaojun's temperament."

Zhang Xier said curiously: "I am like Wang Zhaojun?"

"Yeah." Chu Nan nodded and said, "I'm not talking about you, but about the feeling of your appearance. And when you play the pipa, you're all integrated into it. Do you know that a woman who lacks good faith cannot play this kind of song perfectly. Wang Zhaojun, a palace maid in the Han Dynasty, was ordered to marry into the Xiongnu and lived with the Xiongnu Shanyu for eleven years. She not only made the two countries safe because of her, but also brought the Han culture to the Xiongnu and made great contributions to the people. Therefore, one of the four beauties deserves it."

Zhang Xier nodded and expressed her approval.

Chu Nan said: "In ancient times, Diao Chan performed Lu Bu's play Diao Chan for the sake of the nation, and Xi Shi made great contributions to his Yue Kingdom. Yang Guifei was a disaster for the country and the people. Therefore, women are sometimes very important. Some are beautiful women, some become misfortunes for beauty, while others benefit the country and the people. Which one is more worthy of respect?"

Zhang Xier was silent.

Chu Nan continued: "Some women's decisions and her approaches can even make people live in poverty, which will cause many people to be displaced, while others use their wisdom and their lives to save many people's lives. Miss Zhang seems to admire a woman like Wang Zhaojun, right?"

Zhang Xier didn't know what she was thinking, so she nodded in absent-minded way and said softly: "What Mr. Chen said makes sense."

Chu Nan looked at Zhang Xier, stood up with a smile, and said politely: "It's time for me to go back to the front hall. Today I came to visit your father. If you just disappeared like this, it would be too rude."

Zhang Xier smiled and nodded at Chu Nan appropriately, then stood up and personally took Chu Nan to the gate of the courtyard to watch Chu Nan leave.

After Chu Nan walked out of the courtyard, he smiled and said to Zhanghan beside him: "Your lady is very good."

"Yes!" Zhanghan also said, "She was adopted by the master since she was a child. She has always been well-educated and proficient in both piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She rarely goes out of the house on weekdays. Even so, she can be regarded as a famous person. Almost all Datong Money House knows that there is such a young lady in the Zhang Mansion."

Chu Nan said: "Why don't she leave the house often? Are she feeling unwell?"

"Of course this is not because of personality. Our lady prefers quietness."

"Oh." Chu Nan nodded, with a look of thought in his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

When he returned to the small living room before, when he saw Chu Nan coming back, Zhang Situ smiled and said, "I'm back, where did you go? It seems that I heard you sing?"

While talking, Zhang Situ's eyes swept over Zhanghan slightly. Chu Nan deliberately pretended not to see it, and replied with a smile: "Just just passed by a courtyard. I heard that Zhanghan said it was the eldest lady in the mansion. He was hesitating whether to go in and visit him, but the eldest lady came out of it, so he went in and sat for a while and talked casually for a while."

Zhanghan nodded slightly at Zhang Situ, meaning that Chu Nan was right.

Zhang Situ immediately said with a smile on his face: "My daughter is actually good in everything, but the only thing is that she doesn't like to contact others and rarely goes out of the house. Thank you for being able to talk to my daughter."

Chu Nan smiled and said, "You're welcome, you're welcome. It's not interesting that I'm alone in Datong Money House, and I don't have any friends. Miss Xi'er and I are both the same age as me. I will come to talk to Miss Xi'er more if I have the chance."

Zhang Situ was stunned for a moment and said, "This... Mr. Chen is busy with things..."

"No, no, no, not busy at all. Uncle Zhang just needs not to dislike me for often disturbing me."

"How could that be? Hahaha, since that's the case, I'm determined. If you have time, you must come over more and more. I'm worthy of my family Xi'er to pass on the loneliness. I want good wine and meat to treat you."

Chu Nan smiled and said, "It must be."

During dinner, the maid next to Zhang Xier suddenly walked in. After seeing Zhang Situ, she said respectfully: "Master, Miss, I asked me to come."

"Oh." Zhang Situ said with a smile, "What did Xi'er ask you to do?"

The maid walked over and handed a booklet to Chu Nan. Chu Nan took it over and looked through it, but saw that it was full of music scores. He couldn't help but look up at the maid in surprise.

The maid said, "This is the music score written by our lady in the past two years. After she returned to the room, she took out the music score and looked through it for a while. Then she talked to herself for a while, and finally called me in and told me that Mr. Chen is a person who knows music and is the lady's confidant. This music score is given to Mr. Chen as a gift."

Chu Nan put the booklet in his arms and said, "Since that's the case, I'll accept it and thank you for me."

The maid nodded and quietly retreated.

Zhang Situ looked at Chu Nan, looked at the direction where the maid disappeared at the door, and smiled and said, "It seems that my daughter and Mr. Chen are very close."

"Yes, we are confidants in music. Oh, actually, I think Ling Qianjin is also very close to him. I wonder if Miss Xier is already married?"

When Chu Nan spoke, he pretended to be careless and looked at Zhang Situ in fact, but in fact he was secretly observing every bit of Zhang Situ's expression. Sure enough, Zhang Situ's face showed a little unnatural, but it quickly returned to normal. It seemed that he had thought for a moment, and then laughed: "It's normal for a man to marry a woman to marry. Why? Could it be that my nephew has fallen in love with my daughter?"

Chu Nan nodded with a smile.

Zhang Situ thought for a while and sighed: "Oh, I am actually very optimistic about my nephew, and we are all from Datong Money House, which is just right."

Chu Nan said: "Did uncle agree if he said so?"

"It's useless to agree or not. It's enough for my daughter to agree. To be honest, Xi'er is a poor girl. She is not my biological daughter. She was adopted by me when she was young. She has been following me when she was five or six years old. Her parents were forced to death. Oh, this hateful unequal rule..."

If Chu Nan did not know the truth, he would have been deceived by Zhang Situ's compassionate side. Look at Zhang Situ's expression, the pain, regret, self-blame, and helplessness, the reality can no longer be realistic.

Zhang Situ continued: "After her parents passed away, I accidentally discovered her, and then took her back to the mansion and stayed by my side. To be honest, I have never been married in my life, so I took her as my daughter and treated her like a biological daughter. In my eyes, she is now my biological daughter."

Chu Nan pretended to be moved and said, "Uncle is really a kind person with compassion."

Zhang Situ waved his hand and sighed, "Come on, drink and drink."

The two of them clinked their glasses and drank them all in one go. Zhang Situ sighed: "Because her parents died early and were adopted by me since childhood, she made a vow since she was a child that she would not talk about love before she was twenty years old. Actually, I don't agree, but this child is too stubborn..."

"Before she was twenty years old? How old is she now?"

"Not nineteen years old."

"Oh." Chu Nan showed an admiration and said, "It's really rare to be a good girl with a conscience like this. Since this is the case, I won't make things difficult. Just treat it as an ordinary good friend and get along slowly first."

Zhang Situ lowered his voice and said, "But I am the most optimistic about you, nephew. Don't worry, you start with your friends first. As for the relationship, I will not stop you from it later."

Chu Nan cursed in his heart, but nodded with a calm face on his face.
