Qianmen Street is a relatively prosperous street in Meizhou. The shops facing the street extend inward, with a wide variety of types, including Lijia Charcoal Shop, Wangjia Tavern, plum blossom bun shop, Duanjia Xiangfang, and Ugly Mother-in-law Meat Cake.

These shops have many customers and business is booming. The streets are wide, and there are two long rows of small vendor stalls on both sides of the road. There is also no shortage of customers in front of the vendor stalls, which is a bustling and prosperous scene.

"Wow, Miss, Miss is so lively!"

"Well? I'll call you a lady when I come out, be careful that I can hear you!"

"Oh, it's the young master."

Today, Su Xiaomei was wearing a white Confucian robe and a soft-footed head of a Confucian scholar. She looked like a young scholar with beautiful eyebrows. The maid beside her was also wearing green clothes and dressed as a servant.

"Young master, didn't you say you could just stroll around? Why did you come here from Meishan?" the maid asked with a smile.

Su Xiaomei shook the paper fan and raised her eyebrows and said, "It's more lively here!"

Maid: "Oh? The Ziwu Gate is not lively, why don't we go there?"

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaomei looked at the maid shyly, then stamped her feet and said, "I want to go!"

The Du Mansion is near the Ziwu Gate. The maid smiled and said, "Okay, okay, just think it's a little...Young master, you didn't want to go to Ziwu Gate. I'm so motivating you. I'll say that when I meet Mr. Du later."

"Qing'er, ask for a fight!"

Su Xiaomei finally blushed and went to chase and beat the maid Qing'er angrily. The two of them walked towards the Ziwu Gate, which made the passing people look strange: Why are these two handsome boys so masturbating?

———

Du Ruo stretched. He had just finished breakfast. The sun was pleasant and the air was fresh and cool. He planned to run a few laps in the yard before doing push-ups to exercise.

Yesterday afternoon, Du Ruo received a post from Xue Wan'er, which said that she had practiced "Bai Suzhen at the Mountain of Qingcheng" and had finished rehearsing. She specially invited Du Ruo to Qunfanglou to review it tonight.

After the famous prostitutes learned new lyrics and music, it was natural for them to invite the original author to review. Du Ruo happened to have the idea of ​​going to a brothel and listen to music, so he agreed readily.

There was no arrangement during the day. When Du Ruo was exercising, he missed Su Xiaomei again. He thought that the weather was so good today. If he could ask her out today, go shopping with her, brag in front of her, tell jokes, and tease her, it would be great.

Meishan County is right next to Meizhou City, and the two cities are almost connected. Du Ruo can easily find Su Xiaomei at Su's house. But according to the etiquette of this era, even if he is Su Xiaomei's fiancé, he cannot find Su Xiaomei directly when he goes to Su's house. The concierge will first notify the head of the family Su Xun. After seeing Su Xun with his consent, Du Ruo can only meet Su Xiaomei.

Moreover, when meeting, elders must be accompanied by the side throughout the journey.

There is no way, the man asked to see the lady from a family to be so troublesome. Du Ruo didn't think it was troublesome. He was afraid that after seeing Su Xun, the other party would inevitably ask him about poetry and books, so he planned to memorize a few more scriptures to enrich himself and then go to find Su Xiaomei.

"Young Master, there is a young master of the Su family in Meishan who is asking for a meeting."

As soon as Du Ruo ran to the tenth lap in his courtyard, a concierge came to report. Du Ruo stopped panting, picked up the tea that Du Qing brought and drank, and said, "Please wait for me in the study. In the future, the Su family in Meishan came to me. Please go to the study and report to me first."

"Here."

After the doorman left, Du Ruo went to change clothes under Tan'er's service, thinking that the young master of the Su family was probably Su Che.

‘What are my third brother-in-law doing? Could it be that my younger sister asked him to ask me for an appointment?’

Du Ruo suddenly remembered that men did not need to go through the elders' process when they came to visit each other, so Su Che's sudden visit was likely entrusted by Su Xiaomei.

‘I should take the initiative.’

Du Ruo secretly blamed himself. He should have thought of looking for Su Xiaomei on the grounds of visiting Su Shi and Su Zhe, but his head was not turning around for a while.

Still Su Xiaomei is smart.

After changing his clothes, Du Ruo came to the door of the study. Su Xiaomei and the maid dressed as scholars and servants were watching curiously everywhere, but they were just looking, with their hands behind their backs in a regular manner. They would never get started just because they were curious about something.

This is the tutor.

‘Strange, why is my third brother-in-law so thin?’

Du Ruo could only see the backs of the two of them. He muttered in his heart that "Su Che" in the study was still tall, but he could just outline the outline of his waist when he put his hands behind his back. It was really slender and graceful.

"Brother Su San!"

Du Ruo shouted, bowing his hand and walking into the study room.

"Where did Brother Su San come from?"

Su Xiaomei turned around, bit her red lips lightly, and smiled with her eyebrows and eyes.

"Little sister! Haha it's you!"

Du Ruo's eyes lit up when he saw that Su Xiaomei was dressed as a man, and he was very surprised and was about to rush over to hold hands.

But Su Xiaomei turned around gently, avoided Du Ruo, glanced at the desk, and saw Du Ruo obsessed with her lips and lowered her head to block the smile with her handkerchief.

There was an invitation from Qunfanglou sent by Xue Wan'er on the desk. Du Ruo immediately turned around and glared at Du Qing, blaming him for not keeping it, Du Qing looked innocent.

"I think after Xue Xingshou accepted your song, Qunfanglou has regarded you as a guest of honor. He has been there many times in the past few days, right?" Su Xiaomei whispered.

Du Ruo quickly explained: "No, after that day, except for helping my father solve the case the day before yesterday, I spent the rest of my life studying hard at home and preparing for the competition in two years. How could I have the intention to go to any building? You know I never go to that kind of place."

When Du Ruo talked about the competition, Su Xiaomei was happy, and Du Qing said on the side: "Sister Su, the young master received an invitation yesterday. Xue Xingshou learned the lyrics and music written by the young master, so please read it."

Su Xiaomei was not really angry at all. She was meticulous and was not wandering around in Du Ruo’s study just now. She saw traces of frequent flipping of the imperial examination books of Du Ruo’s study in recent times.

"Then are you going?" Su Xiaomei turned her head, looking at Du Ruo curiously with black eyes.

"go."

Du Ruo smiled bitterly. Su Xiaomei was giving Du Ruo a step, but she didn't expect him to answer like this, and she was speechless for a moment.

But Du Ruo had already taken the opportunity to hold her jade-like little hand: "I was about to go with me, but I wonder if it's okay? You nodded this lyrics and music for her."

Su Xiaomei smiled, but still shook her head: "I have to go home before sunset..."

She was already arrogant when she came to find Du Ruo, so how could she dare to come back late?

Du Ruo nodded in understanding and said, "This is simple. I'll go find my mother and ask her personal maid to send a letter to your house in the afternoon, saying that I'll keep you for dinner and take you home after dinner."

The future mother-in-law will not care about this reason, and it will be nothing if it is reported.

But Su Xiaomei blushed and stomped her feet gently and said, "This is even more impossible, otherwise I won't have to dress up as a man."

According to the etiquette of this era, when a woman visits a man, she must first be received by her mistress at home. Su Xiaomei disguises herself as a man to skip this link. Du Ruo is afraid of seeing Su Xun, and she is even more afraid of seeing Du Ruo's mother Liu. Before she even passes the door, she comes to Du Ruo. There will be gossip when it comes out, and it will not leave a good impression on her mother-in-law.

"Haha, don't worry, my mother came from a general, so she won't care about these red tape. Just show off your men's clothing to outsiders, and your family doesn't have to be stubborn."

If she didn't see Liu, she would be considered a sneaky person. With Su Xiaomei's personality, she would only see her as a man. At most, she would not have any scruples in the future. Du Ruo also wanted her to come more in the future.

After persuading, Su Xiaomei only agreed to visit Liu later. As for whether to accompany Du Ruo to Qunfanglou at night, she had to listen to Liu's words, Du Ruo had no objection.

"What is this? Is it a new work?"

Su Xiaomei had long noticed the stack of papers full of words under the desk invitation. She felt cheerful now and then she took out one with a smile.

"Mangzhong? When I think of you, I will, oh..."

She laughed at me just after reading it, and asked with a smile: "Brother Du Ruo, who made you 'I hate you for a long time'?"

"Ahem!"

Du Ruo's face turned hot and said, "It's all lyrics. The content of the lyrics does not necessarily have to be his own experience. Sometimes when reading history and reading those women with poor beauty, they will inevitably feel the feeling in their hearts..."

Du Ruo explained it so well that Su Xiaomei realized that the lyrics he wrote were written in the era of reading history or hearing folk stories. Su Xiaomei had no doubts. She just asked because she was worried that Du Ruo was still worried about Su Xun's marriage last time.

"That's good, hehe."

Su Xiaomei smiled while reading the lyrics. Suddenly she frowned slightly and asked again: "Brother Du Ruo, which song is the song "Mangzhong"? Why can't I see at all?"

"Of course you can't see it." Du Ruo gently hooked her nose and said, "It's a new song."

"New song? Brother Du Ruo, have you... made a new song?"

Du Ruo nodded guiltily.

Su Xiaomei picked up the rest of the paper on the table again, looked at it briefly, and found that the length and rhythm of each sentence on it were completely different. She said in surprise: "Are these dozen songs all new songs?"

"Yes. I personally think that the old music and new lyrics that are popular today are actually changing soups and not changing medicines, which is boring!"

After Du Ruo finished speaking, he turned around and looked out the window. The sky was blue outside, and there were a few green willow branches swaying in the wind.

He was just guilty and diverted his gaze, but in Su Xiaomei's eyes, Du Ruo was very similar to a talented man in the painting looking out from a railing. He was full of talent, but because the world did not understand, he was named a playboy.

In an instant, Du Ruo's image shone in Su Xiaomei's eyes. No matter how high these new songs are, just being able to make them and match them with lyrics is already a peerless genius.

"Brother Du Ruo, do you teach me a few songs?"

Su Xiaomei didn't ask when Du Ruo started writing new lyrics and music, and she might not be interested in songs. She just didn't want Du Ruo to be lonely alone, and wanted to give someone more people in the world who understand him.

"You want to learn?" Du Ruo looked at Su Xiaomei in surprise and asked, "Which song is learned?"

"How about this song "Mengzhong"?"

Du Ruo smiled bitterly and shook his head. There are requirements for duet singing in this song, and beginners of Su Xiaomei cannot sing this song well.

"It's not easy to learn "Mangzhong". Let me write a simple song for you." Du Ruo said.

"OK."

Su Xiaomei held her face and had a sweet smile.

Du Ruo originally wanted to write a simple folk song for Su Xiaomei in her previous life, but when she saw her smiling like a flower, she suddenly thought of another song.

""Sweet Honey"!"

Su Xiaomei took the lyrics and blushed after reading a few sentences. Du Ruo smiled and said, "This song is written for you. Come and I will teach you to sing..."

So Du Ruo blasted out Du Qing and sang "Sweet Honey" in front of Su Xiaomei and her maid, which surprised the two of them. One was surprised that Du Ruo's singing was so nice and had a gentle and magnetic voice; the other was surprised that the melody of this song was so beautiful and beautiful. After listening to a song, he felt so sweet and wanted to listen.
