"Little mother!"

Du Ruo hurried to Xiyuan and happened to run into Zheng's hand over to see Madam Huang leave. He breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had finally caught up and did not delay Zheng's affairs.

"Du Ruo, you're here!"

When Zheng saw Du Ruo, he was overjoyed and walked forward a few steps.

"I'm sorry for the past two days!"

Du Ruo hurriedly bowed to Zheng and apologized for his crime. After Zheng said that it was okay to forgive him, he raised his head and was a little surprised when he saw that the guest of Zheng was actually Mrs. Huang, but immediately greeted Mrs. Huang in a regular manner: "Miss. Huang, are you okay?"

"Hello, Mr. Du. I have been waiting for you for a long time. I personally think that my son looks down on me from a happy family and is disdainful to come to see you."

Her words are humble, but her confidence and calm temperament are still the same. This sentence is actually a test.

"I dare not, but I dare not. Madam Huang has an unparalleled talent and admires it from the bottom of my heart."

Du Ruo waved his hand quickly. He was a musician in his previous life, so how could he disrespect musicians in this life?

A smile appeared on the corner of Mrs. Huang's mouth. She saw that Du Ruo was not polite and was telling the truth, but since he did not despise herself, why didn't he forget about this?

It is clearly the relaxed Zheng family.

In this era of special qualities, "letting go of pigeons" can extend many meanings.

Mrs. Huang thought to himself that Du Ruo would be respectful to Zheng now. The two of them seemed to be kind and filial to their son. It was probably because they were an outsider who was present and performed for themselves.

After he left, Du Ruo was afraid that he would change his face to Zheng.

Thinking of this, she looked at Zheng again with sympathy.

The three of them returned to the living room and sat down. Du Ruo took out a piece of paper from the cuff and presented it to Zheng, saying, "This is the lyrics and music that promised Xiao Niang, all new songs and new lyrics."

Zheng happily took over the lyrics and songs, and said to Huang Madam on the side: "Mr. Du is indeed a talented man. He wrote a new lyrics and songs so quickly."

Du Ruo smiled awkwardly and said, "I know that it was Xiao Niang who asked for the lady Huang, so he chose the one that was suitable for Niang Huang to sing."

Zheng looked carefully at the content of the lyrics and music. She was also a music prostitute. When she read it, she had already hummed the lyrics in her mind, so just after she went through it, her face changed.

"Du Ruo, did you write this lyrics and music?" Zheng looked at Du Ruo in disbelief.

Du Ruo had not answered yet, while Huang Madam was curious about the content of the lyrics and music, she was also laughing secretly, thinking that the two of them were indeed in harmony with each other, and Zheng didn't even know Du Ruo's musical talent.

"Yes, do you think it's not good?" Du Ruo asked.

Zheng shook his head and sighed: "It's not that bad, but that's too good. It's actually a little reluctant to give it to my sister."

As she said that, she raised her eyebrows at Miss Huang and smiled.

"We have something to say first." Mrs. Huang immediately became nervous, "You are not allowed to cheat, let me see."

As he said that, Mrs. Huang got up to get the lyrics and songs. Zheng was just a joke, so he naturally handed it to her.

"Seeing smoke from cooking again?"

When Mrs. Huang saw the name of the song, Du Ruo nodded and smiled, without explaining anything.

The songs in his mind were really vast, but he could not take out any pop songs from later generations. Considering the image and voice of Mrs. Huang, Du Ruo chose Teresa Teng's song to give her.

This song is not only suitable for her to sing, but also the lyrics are in line with the aesthetics of people of this era.

"very nice!"

Similarly, after reading all the lyrics and songs, Huang also showed a surprise expression and was amazed.

"In this way, I will thank Mr. Du for giving the song!"

After Huang Madam Fu Fu Du Ruofu, she looked at Zheng and took the song in a little proud way. She was confident that after the song was played, it would be widely sang in the public, and her reputation would naturally be improved to a higher level.

She just saw Zheng's surprise when she first saw the lyrics and music, and what she revealed in her words did not know that Du Ruo had such talent, so she guessed that Du Ruo had never given her lyrics and music before.

‘This little girl is not even as good as Xue Wan'er in Du Ruo's heart. Why do you think you can live a good life here?’

Shaking his head slightly, Madam Huang was in a hurry to go back to practice singing, so she got up and left.

Zheng and Du Ruo stood up to see him off, but Mrs. Huang refused and asked Madam Zhao to give him off.

Although Mrs. Huang left quickly, after leaving Xiyuan, she suddenly wondered what the real relationship between Du Ruo and Zheng would look like after she was not around.

‘I won’t just tear my face, right?’

Many scenes of Du Ruo bullying and humiliating Zheng were flashed in his mind, and Madam Huang suddenly became a little worried.

‘I’m a silly sister!’

After all, she grew up with Zheng and two years older than her. She has always protected her when she was a child. Although she was ignorant when she grew up and became unfamiliar with her sisters, the relationship in her heart is still there.

The more I thought about it, the less I couldn't let it go. Madam Huang couldn't help but stop.

"I suddenly thought that there was something else I wanted to ask your second wife."

When Madam Huang said this, Madam Zhao naturally took her back, and Madam Huang also had a certain plan in her mind. She had a high status in the literary and artistic circles of Sichuan and Sichuan, and countless nobles were her fans, including Du Shouyi.

In the past, every time she came to visit Zheng, Du Shouyi would come and stay for a while, and would try every means to keep him before leaving.

So when she came back later, she deliberately avoided Du Shouyi.

But his friendship with Du Shouyi is still there. Mrs. Huang thought to himself, if Du Ruo bullied Zheng too much, he would definitely go to Du Shouyi to talk and ask him to restrain himself!

But when she returned to Xiyuan, she just approached the living room and saw a scene in the living room that made her dumbfounded-

After Huang Madam left, Du Ruo apologized to Zheng again. Because he involved pawnshops and usury, he did not find the opportunity to tell Du Shouyi that Zheng had helped solve the case, and felt guilty.

Of course, Zheng would not blame Du Ruo for anything. He took out some snacks to entertain him and was very polite to him.

Du Ruoze took out a few pieces of paper from his cuff and put it on Zheng's table: "Xiao Madam, I know you like singing. I often sing old lyrics and music in Xiyuan, and it is inevitable that I will get tired of it. So I have prepared some new songs for you. If you are bored, you can sing them casually, just to relieve your boredom."

Before Du Ruo came, he took more than one lyric and music to apologize to Zheng.

Zheng does like to sing. After marrying into the Du family for many years, he insists on singing music with his voice hanging in the morning every day. This is one of the reasons why Du Ruo's mother Liu was reluctant to let Du Zhier be by Zheng's side before.

She was bored in this deep mansion and singing was her only hobby. People at this time thought it was a low-key hobby, but Du Ruo thought it was an elegant hobby to cultivate sentiment.

Since she likes to sing, Du Ruo is happy to give her a few songs, all of which are from Teresa Teng, "On the Water", "The Moon Represents My Heart", and "I Only Care about You". Du Ruo grabbed her from her desk randomly when she came, and didn't think much about it.

"What you gave to me? All of them... were written by you?"

Zheng held these lyrics and songs, and didn't know what to react for a while.

Outside, Madam Huang widened her eyes. She didn't expect that Du Ruo and Zheng's relationship was so harmonious, and she didn't expect that Du Ruo actually gave Zheng several songs with one move!

‘This song "Seeing Smoke Again" for outsiders is so good, those songs must be the best!’

Madam Huang was shocked, but after looking at Madam Zhao beside her, she shook her head and smiled, saying, "Let's ask again next time."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

"My little girl, I'll say goodbye if I have nothing to do."

Although it was broad daylight, Du Ruo could not stay with Zheng for a long time. After sending out the lyrics and music, he bowed and left. As for Zheng's songs, he would sing these songs himself or share them with Mrs. Huang, he would ignore them.

Du Ruo left, and the stunned Zheng clutched the lyrics and walked to the living room door, looking at the direction where Du Ruo left, feeling a little sad.

Looking down at the lyrics in her hand, her mature face suddenly turned red after a long time.

"You ask me how deep I love you... The moon represents my heart." - "The moon represents my heart";

"I would like to go upstream and snuggle beside her." - "On the Water Side";

"I only care about you if time flies." - "I only care about you";

Seeing these lyrics that make people blush and heartbeat, Zheng couldn't help but stomp his feet. Although his face was still red, his brows frowned: "This kid, what's the lyrics for me! Could it be..."

Zheng did not dare to think about it any more. She subconsciously folded the lyrics and hid them in her lapel, and secretly sweared in her heart that she could not say that these lyrics and music were given by Du Ruo even if she died.

———

Not long after Du Ruo returned to his east courtyard, his mother Liu came.

Liu did not wear luxurious clothes like ordinary wealthy ladies, wearing golden hairpins and tassels, and was very stylish. Instead, she wore a simple robe with a double-breasted robe, her hair was just tied up high and tied with a silver hairpin.

It looks simple and unpretentious, and in terms of clothing alone, it is not as elegant and luxurious as the Zheng family.

But her slightly weathered face exudes a heroic spirit, with straight eyebrows and phoenix eyes. Just looking at people with half closed eyes will make people feel that they are shorter in front of her.

The Liu family in Bianjing was a prominent family in Hedong. It began to flourish during the Wei and Jin Dynasties. People have served as officials from generation to generation and have been prominent for hundreds of years. Emperor Taizu of the dynasty also served as a subordinate of the Liu family, so the royal nobles dared not praise their family background in front of the Liu family.

The Liu family's dynasty has also produced outstanding talents from generation to generation. Du Ruo's great-grandfather and great-grandfather were both civil servants who passed the Jinshi period. When the Song and Xia war broke out, the Liu family joined the army and became a general.

But whether it is a civil servant or a military general, the Liu family is famous for being straightforward. The irritability and madness in the family genes have never been diluted.

This gene comes from Du Ruo's great-grandfather Liu Kai, who has extremely strong life experience. He is now a legend in the Song Dynasty and is well-known. There are various interpretations of his deeds in the street storytelling and opera.

Du Ruo's mother, Liu, was loved by her grandfather Liu Kai since she was a child, and she has been teaching her personally until her death. Therefore, Liu's temperament is very strong. When he arrived at Du Ruo, although he only brought a nanny and two maids, Du Ruo felt that she was carrying thousands of troops.

‘The mother is strong and the son is weak!’

Du Ruo went to pay homage to Liu, but he felt in his heart that it was because Liu was so strong that Yuan Du Ruo was cowardly and innocent and had no scheming.

"Ruoer, you just came back from Zheng?" Liu sat down and asked.

"yes."

Du Ruo stood beside Liu and agreed.
