"This pleasure boat was wrapped by our young master, and the idle people quickly retreated!"

Du Ruo and others heard this scolding when they arrived at the door of the Huafang. The one who was the one who was the leader of the young men just now. Du Ruo knew him and was Huang Wu, the son of Huang Pei, the Tongjian of Meizhou.

The Tongzong is the second in command of a state and is under the control of the prefecture, but he is responsible for supervising the government affairs of a state and decentralizing power and checking and balanced with the prefecture.

"I am also a child of a local official, let's see if they are chaotic."

Du Ruo couldn't help feeling helpless, and Cheng Zhicai, ahead, smiled confidently and said a few words to the doorkeeper. The doorkeeper immediately entered the pleasure boat and invited Huang Wu and the others out.

"Brother Cheng, Brother Su!"

When Huang Wu saw that it was Cheng Zhicai Su Shi, he immediately bowed respectfully and invited the two and Cheng's brother Su Zhe and Su Baniang into the pleasure boat with great welcome. Du Ruo also strode over.

In my memory, Huang Wu is not a playboy, but he is very erotic. Yuan Du Ruo only met him a few times and had no friends.

But their fathers are the first and second-in-command in Meizhou after all. Du Ruo believed that he would come forward and Huang Wu would have to give face and invite him in.

"Brother Huang, don't be fine."

Du Ruo walked over and bowed his hand.

"Haha, the talented man Du Ruo is here!"

As soon as Huang Wu spoke, Du Ruo knew something was wrong. This guy was actually hostile to him. Where did he mess with him?

"I'm still a talented man. I'm afraid those two poems were copied from somewhere, it's a stinky mess!"

The young men behind Huang Wu even started to mock him without hesitation. Du Ruo couldn't help frowning and thought to himself, "You guys, my daddy is the magistrate, how dare you treat me like this?"

"Don't let your mother go!"

Before Du Ruo could speak, Du Qing next to him was unhappy and stood up and pointed at the young masters behind Huang Wu and cursed: "You dare to be rude to my young master. I will go back and tell the master and strip your shop!"

After Du Qing cursed, several young men hummed and curled their lips, but they did not dare to retaliate. They were all children of businessmen. Only with Huang Wu's support dared to humiliate Du Ruo.

If Du Ruo plays with them, Du Shouyi can easily bankrupt their family.

The quarrel here attracted a lot of people to watch. Finally, Cheng Zhicai, who entered the pleasure boat, signaled his brother to entangle Su Shi, Su Zhe, and Su Baniang. He sneered himself and turned back.

"If your father wants to break up a shop, my father must agree. Otherwise, once my father joins the court, your father's official position will not be guaranteed!" Huang Wu said proudly.

"Brother Du Ruo, let's go."

Su Xiaomei glared at Huang Wu, and Du Ruo also looked at Huang Wu coldly, intending to leave with Su Xiaomei.

But he wrote down this holiday.

"What's going on? Brother Huang, are you making things difficult for my cousin and future cousin?"

Cheng Zhicai walked to the entrance here, with a faint smile on his face and a sarcastic tone.

"Brother Cheng, I am so obsessed with Du Ruo. Even if you come forward, I will definitely not let him in. Please forgive me." Huang Wu was very polite to Cheng Zhicai.

"How could I make Brother Huang embarrassed? After all, he is not my cousin's husband." Cheng Zhicai finished speaking and glanced at Du Ruo disdainfully.

"This person's heart is so narrow!" Du Ruo narrowed his eyes.

Cheng Zhicai continued: "I'm here to invite Brother Huang to let my little cousin in. She has first-class literary talent. After Xue Xing's first performance is over, she can also sing and entertain our poems!"

After hearing Cheng Zhicai said such words in front of Su Xiaomei, Du Ruo's face darkened. Is this my cousin? Using his cousin as a tool to motivate him?

Su Xiaomei was also blushed with anger: "Bah, it's not rare!"

After saying that, Su Xiaomei took Du Ruo's hand and left quickly.

"My cousin is still a little girl's temper, but unfortunately she has a little bad eyes."

Cheng Zhicai's words made Huang Wu laugh, and the audience around him also laughed. The second generation of Guan made a fool of himself in public and always liked to hear.

In the pleasure boat.

Su Shi, Su Zhe, Su Baniang was distracted by the Cheng brothers and did not pay attention to the situation outside. After finding that Du Ruo and Su Xiaomei did not come in to ask, Cheng Zhicai made excuses on the grounds that they wanted to get along alone.

Xue Wan'er happened to be on the second floor of the pleasure boat and saw Du Ruo being turned away by Huang Wu through the window.

"That man wrote Mr. Du, who wrote 'If life is just like the first meeting'?"

Xue Wan'er asked the maid beside her.

"It's him. The girl isn't trying to see him. Should I invite him in?"

"No need." Xue Wan'er looked at Du Ruo's back as he gradually walked away and shook her head, "We were invited by Mr. Huang. He doesn't like Mr. Du, so how can we invite each other?"

The maid said, "That's right, I just heard that this person was a fool. Those two poems were obtained from plagiarism, and I don't know whether it was true or false. But someone just said that he plagiarized, but he did not defend himself. I think he was guilty."

Xue Wan'er shook her head, then looked into the distance, and said sadly: "A person who can write such words is not only talented, but also must have experienced vicissitudes. I don't believe that a teenager can make such words after a serious illness."

So she stopped talking about Du Ruo, and Xue Wan'er silently recalled the songs she was going to play today. One of them was a new palace song from Bianjing, which was very melodious and beautiful. It was the first time she played in Meizhou today.

In ancient times, rituals and music were related, so the rituals and music of court celebrations and sacrifices were passed down from generation to generation. The folk song summary "The Book of Songs" later only retained the text, and the tunes gradually disappeared.

During the Han and Tang dynasties, court music gradually spread to the folk, first Yuefu poems, and finally developed into a fixed form of ci-card names.

Therefore, what people pursued in the Song Dynasty was to write new lyrics in old lyrics (melodies), especially famous prostitutes who made a living by singing. They would regard good lyrics with literary talent as important as their lives. They would lead the lead in singing a good lyrics, which would be very likely to become popular overnight or greatly increase their value.

Therefore, the talented man Liu Yongcai was so popular in the brothel because he wrote his poems well.

Of course, Xue Wan'er likes good lyrics, but she thinks that no matter how good or changeable the lyrics are, if the tune remains unchanged, it is all about changing the soup and not changing the medicine. The development of lyrics and music should not be like this. If the lyrics need to change, the tunes must be constantly innovated.

But she can't compose music, so she can only devote herself to collecting new music and playing it with her superb instrumental skills, and strive to make innovations every once in a while.

The reason she can become a courtesan of Meizhou is that she can play all kinds of musical instruments and the various new tunes she has trouble collecting, but not only rely on her beautiful appearance or singing well.

"Xue Xingshou will bring a new song today, with the first release of Meizhou. You and I can listen to it, so lucky!"

In the banquet hall on the first floor of the pleasure boat, Huang Wu was proud in front of Cheng Zhicai and Su Shi.

Cheng Zhicai said: "Of course, even if you listen to Xue Xing play the old song, you will be lucky in your life! People outside the pleasure boat do not have this blessing."

"We must be very vivid in our lyrics later. If the new lyrics you gave are first chosen by Xue Xing, you will have the opportunity to be invited to be a guest and have a long talk with Xue Xing!"

After the famous prostitutes perform, the audience will reward them. The rich spend a lot of money, and the talented ones will give them a reward. The famous prostitutes who are stylish prefer lyrics. If they meet a good lyrics, they will invite the author to meet them.

Speaking of this, Huang Wu was full of excitement. He finally invited Xue Wan'er, but he didn't say a few words, let alone talk in private.

The Song Dynasty was prosperous in civil affairs, and the scholars and officials were prevalent in the style of gentlemen. Therefore, the famous prostitutes of the courtesan in this era were all self-disciplined and unattainable. Even if you are a dissolute person, the madam would force you to pretend to be cold, because only in this way can people be willing to spend a lot of money to hire you.

Therefore, when Huang Wu said that he had the opportunity to chat with Xue Wan'er alone, the Cheng family and Su Shi and Su Zhe were excited and ready to slap in their hands. They all fantasized about making a stunning poem favored by the courtesans, so they were invited to the boudoir and chat with the beauty. Maybe they would fall in love at first sight and a beautiful story would happen.

Even Cheng Zhicai was ready to move, not hiding his expectations on his face, and he didn't even care about his wife Su Baniang beside him. Su Baniang's expression was a little dim and she didn't say anything.

On the banks of the Minjiang River, Du Ruo and Su Xiaomei walked downwards and were already far away from the pleasure boat.

"Little sister, we are not worth getting angry with that kind of person." Du Ruo comforted her when she saw that Su Xiaomei's face was still a little unhappy.

"I'm angry that they say you like that, and you're looking down on others!"

Du Ruo smiled: "It's not a problem. I don't know why they target me. No matter what they do, don't discourage our interest in traveling."

"Um!"

Su Xiaomei nodded seriously, looked at Du Ruo curiously, and said, "Brother Du Ruo, you are becoming so free and easy now, like my second brother."

"Is that true? Maybe it's been through life and death, so I'll let it go."

After saying that, Du Ruo saw that Su Xiaomei was a little guilty, so he hurriedly changed the subject and pointed to the flute on Su Xiaomei's waist: "You play the flute to me, right?"

"Okay, it's just for you to hear."

Su Xiaomei smiled, and the two of them found an empty grass by the river to sit down. Du Qing and Su Xiaomei's personal maid sat tactfully elsewhere, keeping a distance.

"What I'm playing is the first chapter of "High Mountains and Flowing Waters"..."

Su Xiaomei started playing the flute. The sound of the flute was melodious and the tune was pleasant, which attracted some pedestrians to stop.

Du Ruo nodded slightly. In the eyes of him, a professional, Su Xiaomei's flute was only amateur level, and the tune of "High Mountains and Flowing Water" was already tired of listening to it. This song has been done for thousands of years.

But Su Xiaomei looks so beautiful and she is the girl she likes, so even if she doesn't play the flute professionally, it sounds like the sound of nature to Du Ruo.

"How about it?"

After the song was played, Su Xiaomei waited nervously for Du Ruo to comment. She knew that Du Ruo did not understand the rhythm before, but she still hoped to get his praise.

"Very good, the ending is the hardest part, but you control it, it's amazing."

"Yes, it's very difficult to finish the finale."

Su Xiaomei was first happy, then looked at Du Ruo in surprise: "Brother Du Ruo, do you understand the rhythm too?"

"Of course I understand. I am a playboy, how can I not understand this!"

Du Ruo smiled and then stretched out his hand to Su Xiaomei: "How about I play a song for you too?"

"OK……"

Su Xiaomei nodded happily, but did not hand the flute to Du Ruo immediately. She felt a little embarrassed because the flute was still a little wet when blowing the hole, and she wanted to wipe it clean before giving it to Du Ruo.

But Du Ruo didn't care and took the flute away.

"This is a brand new version you have never heard of, called "Bai Suzhen at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain". Listen to it."

Meizhou is not far from Qingcheng Mountain, and there are always beautiful women with long skirts coming and going around. The scenery is ancient and ancient. There is also an ancient beauty who can be called the girlish version of White Snake. Du Ruo naturally thought of this song in "The Legend of White Snake".

"Bai Suzhen at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain~~~~"

When the loud and melodious sound of flute flowed out of the flute and formed a tune, the pedestrians around Du Ruo and Su Xiaomei were instantly attracted by the melody, and they turned their heads to look at the flute, looking dull.

The sound of the flute spreads around like ripples. The originally lively Minjiang River, pedestrians chatting and laughing and playing behind the sound of the flute, all brushing in one direction as if they were hit by a fixed spell, but immediately, they all turned their heads and looked in the same direction.
Chapter completed!
