Chapter 542 She is Zhao Paner, not Xiao Linger
Having said that, Song Yinzhang had no choice but to give up the idea of asking Gu Qianfan for help. She really didn't want to owe any more favors to Young Master Zhou, and Deputy Envoy Gu didn't want to trouble her. Could it be that the only way out of her citizenship was to fall into the trap? Is it on Shen Ruzhuo?
After playing today's three pipas, Song Yinzhang hurried to the Liyuan to instruct the troupe musicians.
At the end of spring and near summer, the sound of cicadas outside the Liyuan courtyard disrupted her already chaotic state of mind.
According to the soundtrack score of "The Romance of the West Chamber", pointed out several passages that are easy to go out of tune for the musicians to practice in coordination. Song Yinzhang sat alone under the eaves with his pipa in his arms, dazed.
Quietly, a gust of breeze blew by, and a kind and easy-going voice came from my ear, "Miss Yinzhang is absent-minded, is there something on her mind?"
"Young Master Zhou Zhou." Song Yinzhang was so distracted that he didn't notice the person beside him at all. When he heard Zhou Ji's voice, he panicked inexplicably, loosened his hands, and the pipa slipped from his arms, and it was about to hit the pipa under the eaves. On the bluestone steps, I saw a jade-like, clean and slender palm first rescued the pipa, and put down her instantly suspended heart.
"It's okay, it's okay~" Zhou Ji picked up the pipa and glanced at it roughly, confirming that there is no bump or damage, and handed it to her, "Sorry, did I scare you just now?"
"No, it's none of Mr. Zhou's business. It's because I didn't take it well." Song Yinzhang raised his eyes and saw Zhou Ji's gentle eyes full of kindness. He took the pipa in a panic and hugged it tightly in his arms. He lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes to avoid his sight. She thanked him softly, "Thank you."
"Since when did Miss Yinzhang become so reserved?" Zhou Ji was full of surprise, and really didn't understand what the little girl was thinking now.
"No, no." Song Yinzhang repeated "no" weakly like a repeater, full of entanglements in his heart, and wanted to find someone to discuss, but subconsciously didn't want Mr. Zhou to know about Shen Ruzhuo, so he changed the subject and said, "Zhou You shouldn't be in the tea house now, why are you here?"
After all, it was the little girl's thoughts, so Zhou Ji didn't ask any further, and explained following her topic, "Si Teng and Xiaokui are watching over the teahouse, and it's nothing to do. I'm taking a break from my busy schedule to ask the troupe to leave for the teahouse to prepare for the evening performance." show."
Ask a few questions about the progress of the score of the soundtrack. Since Zhou Ji was unable to carry electronic equipment across the world, the texts had been piled up on the square table before, but the soundtrack could only rely on Song Yinzhang to reverse the score based on Si Teng's memories, complete the complete score, and then Teach the dramedy troupe.
It was not that there were no troupes in the Song Dynasty, but most of them were small fights with four or five people. Zhou Ji could use "The Case of Guillotine Beauty" to seize the opportunity, but he could not rely solely on the support of the play "The Case of Guillotine Beauty". "The Peony Pavilion" can be said to be a big killer for literati, so Zhou Ji put the score on the schedule early on, and asked Song Yinzhang to help complete the score.
"Boss Zhou, leader Song."
A group of musicians who were still practicing repeatedly saw Zhou Ji and Song Yinzhang approaching, and quickly stopped playing and stood up to salute.
Song Yinzhang bowed slightly to salute the crowd, straightened his waist, with a confident aura faintly revealed between his brows, not as flustered and timid as before.
"The new song practice is suspended, and it will continue tomorrow."
Zhou Ji glanced at Song Yinzhang quite curiously, Song Yinzhang blushed prettyly, bowed his head and said, "Young Master Zhou, Mr. Xiao will have a big birthday in a few days, my good sister has made an appointment with me to collaborate on a song, I should go back too"
"Well, I'm going to the city anyway, so why don't I send you off." Zhou Ji said casually.
"Don't bother Mr. Zhou. I'll go back by myself in a carriage." Song Yinzhang declined.
Zhou Ji shrugged, but didn't insist anymore.
Before, because Song Yinzhang had to travel between Liyuan, Banzhaimian and Jiaofangsi every day, he specially arranged a carriage for her to commute, with thunder pattern, rattan pattern, and magic sword pattern engraved in it, even if hundreds of millions There is a one-in-one chance of an accident, and Zhou Ji, Xiaokui, and Si Teng can also detect it immediately.
Sending Song Yinzhang to the carriage and watching the carriage go away, Zhou Ji took the musicians back to the teahouse and rehearsed the repertoire to be performed later.
In their spare time, Zhou Ji and Si Teng Xiaokui talked about Song Yinzhang's strangeness. Si Teng's cold and calm eyes seemed to be able to see the girl who was in a daze far away in Jiaofang through the stage, "Song Yinzhang has a pure personality and is easily influenced by other people's words. If you want to know why she is troubled, you can go to half-hidden tomorrow and ask."
Zhou Ji hesitated and said, "Miss Pan'er has always been strong. She failed to beat you in the tea fight last time. If you come to the door again, it will be no different from provocation to her."
"Then let her stay and watch the shop, I'll go with you!" Hong Kui's eyes lit up, and she leaned forward and said.
"You..." As soon as Zhou Ji opened his mouth, he saw Hongkui's aggressive hands on her hips, raised her snow-white swan neck, and said proudly, "Don't forget, I am your creditor! Before I forgive you , don't try to get rid of me!"
Zhou Ji had no choice but to succumb to Hongkui's prestige and agreed to take her along. Hongkui nodded in satisfaction and walked towards the counter with triumphant steps.
The next day, morning.
As Tongfu Teahouse moved the drama to night, half-hidden, they used Song Yinzhang’s pipa to **** back some regular customers from Tongfu Teahouse’s Pingshu, especially before and after Song Yinzhang’s daily three-piece performance, when he was very busy.
When Zhou Ji and Hongkui came, Zhao Pan'er and Sun Sanniang were busy in the store. When they saw the 'competitor' coming to the door, Zhao Pan'er was surprised, and vaguely felt that Mr. Zhou looked at him strangely.
It's like... Seeing something.
"Mr. Zhou, Miss Xiaokui, why are you free today? Please come in, please come in." Sun Sanniang glanced at Zhao Pan'er suspiciously, smiled, walked past her, and greeted her.
"I heard that you have a new red fruit drink here, which is paired with Sanniang's tea fruit. It has a unique flavor. I came here to taste it."
Zhou Ji withdrew his gaze from Zhao Pan'er's slightly messy brows, smiled and exchanged greetings with Sun Sanniang, Zhao Pan'er also recovered from the discomfort of being seen through, stretched his brows, and joked, "That's to 'explore the enemy's situation' yes?"
"Miss Pan'er found out."
Zhou Ji pressed Hongkui's arm to block her, took a deep look at Zhao Pan'er, responded casually, and smiled, "Then please order two red fruit drinks first, and prepare another to take away."
Zhao Pan'er could feel that Xiaokui seemed to be different from before, she seemed a little angry, and her doubts grew.
"Sit down for a while, the red fruit drink will come soon." Zhao Pan'er led the two of them into the hall and took a seat, looked at Sun Sanniang and said, "Sanniang, go upstairs and tell Yinzhang that Mr. Zhou and Xiaokui are here." .”
"Hey~" Sun Sanniang wiped her hands and walked towards the stairs.
After the two left, Hongkui turned her head and glared at Zhou Ji, "Why did you stop me just now?"
"I won't stop you, what do you want? Ask her face to face, is she having **** with someone?"
Zhou Ji sighed lightly, he really didn't expect that Zhao Pan'er was so courageous!
This was in ancient times when etiquette was greater than the sky. Even though the etiquette in the Northern Song Dynasty was far less extreme than that in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, but in such an era background, the consequences faced by an unmarried woman who lost her virginity are by no means what the young women of modern thinking can imagine. can imagine.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Hongkui actually knew that she was just annoyed for a while and had to find someone to vent her anger, otherwise she wouldn't have waited until Zhao Pan'er left before questioning Zhou Ji. "Obviously, the day of the tea fighting meeting was fine, but it's only been two days since I saw you, so why have you sacrificed yourself for such a long time?"
"Recognize the reality, she is Zhao Pan'er, not Xiao Linger."
Zhou Ji said with a gloomy expression, "Secondly, she is already an adult, and she was engaged to Ouyang Xu for three years before, and she kept herself as a jade. Now that she chooses to burn the boat, she must have her own considerations."
"Think about it, think about it" Hongkui looked at Zhao Pan'er returning to the counter to prepare the red fruit drink, without hiding the disappointment in her eyes.
Song Yinzhang, who finished playing the pipa, stayed on the second floor to help clean up the tea sets. He didn't notice the arrival of the two people downstairs. When he heard Sanniang coming up to call her, he hesitated and said, "Sanniang, go down first, I'll finish clearing the table." just come."
While speaking, there was a loud noise downstairs.
Sun Sanniang and Song Yinzhang glanced at each other, ignoring the tea set on the table, they hurried out of the elegant room to look down.
There seemed to be a middle-aged tea drinker at a table in the middle of the hall.
Beside the tea customer, a boy in rough clothes wearing a cap shook anxiously, calling "Big brother" loudly.
The attention of the guests in the tea house was immediately attracted by the pair of brothers, and they began to discuss in whispers.
Zhou Ji, who was seated next to him, glanced at the two of them, smiled disdainfully, turned his eyes to the vase used for the setting, raised his hand to take a branch, and flicked it out calmly.
Not far away, Zhao Pan'er had just brought tea fruit and tea cups to Zhou Ji Xiaokui, and was still complimenting the calligraphy and paintings with old regulars Yuan Tuntian and Mr. Zhuo Shi, when this happened as soon as he turned around, he was flustered and couldn't help but Some at a loss.
"what happened?"
Sun Sanniang and Song Yinzhang hurried down the stairs, walked up to them and asked.
The handsome young man with the cap raised his head, glared at them viciously, and scolded, "How do I know? Brother is clearly fine, but when he came to you, he just drank this red fruit drink and became like this!"
Before he finished speaking, the guest let out a 'huh' and rubbed on the spot a few times, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, and a stream of black 'poisonous blood' gushed out from the corner of his mouth.
"Big Brother! Big Brother!" Ge Zhaodi hurriedly shook the poisoned elder brother. Seeing that the elder brother was still moving around from time to time, she squatted down, lowered her head and lay down in front of her to listen to her heartbeat. "Brother, don't move around."
The cry of 'big brother' was so sincere that tears filled the man's eyes and his pupils trembled.
Besides, a group of tea drinkers exclaimed when they saw the man vomiting blood.
"Oops, vomiting blood."
"He vomited blood."
Zhao Pan'er was also frightened by this scene, stepped back half a step, covered her mouth and lost her voice.
Ge Zhaodi stood up, pointed at the red fruit drink on the table, and said angrily, "Poisonous! Your fruit drink is poisonous! Poisonous!"
As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the audience.
Zhao Paner retorted subconsciously: "I made the red fruit drink myself, how could it be poisonous?"
Tsk tsk tsk, this kind of method of touching porcelain in the next three ways is too inferior.
"Still trying to cheat?"
Ge Zhaodi directly pulled out a silver longevity lock from his neck, dipped it into the unfinished red fruit drink on the table, and the lock immediately turned black.
Ge Zhaodi held up the silver lock and pestered the faces of the surrounding guests, and shouted loudly as she pestered, "Look! What is this if it is not poison? What is it if it is not poison? What is it if it is not poison?"
While she draws attention, the poisoned brother tries to
The tea drinkers dodged in fright, and finally came to Zhou Ji. Zhou Ji nodded approvingly, picked up the red fruit drink with one hand, and grabbed Ge Zhaodi's wrist with the other hand, "It just so happens that what I ordered is also a red fruit drink. , if it is poisonous, can you please test it for me, little brother?"
Ge Zhaodi subconsciously wanted to dodge, but Zhou Ji held down his wrist, and dipped the silver lock tied with a red string into the teacup Zhou Ji was holding.
"Let go!" Ge Zhaodi struggled hard, but her wrist didn't move at all. The tea drinkers around were suspicious of the poisoned tea, so she took a closer look and saw a string of bubbles coming out, and the dye on the surface of the silver lock floated off, revealing the original silver color.
"This can only prove that your bowl is not poisonous. Maybe you and the shop owner are in the same group. I saw you talking just now." Seeing the vacillating gazes of tea customers around, Ge Zhaodi rolled her eyes and quibbled.
At this time, the poisoned brother vomited up a few puddles of blood again, and the tea guests stood farther and farther away as if avoiding the plague god, and many guests simply prepared to leave.
The poisoned elder brother twitched violently a few times, and completely stopped moving.
"Big brother! Big brother!" Seeing this, Ge Zhaodi howled a few times, and hissed: "You pay for my big brother's life"
At this time, she had already brought her emotions to the peak, but before she finished speaking, she heard a "噗嗤~" sniggering from behind, the emotions that were supposed to be advanced were interrupted immediately, and the tears that were finally squeezed out also shrank back .
"Puff~hahaha~~~"
"Hahahahahaha~"
Amidst the angry laughter of the poisoned brother, Ge Zhaodi turned around with an ugly face, and saw the poisoned brother who was lying on the ground with "qi like a gossamer", jumped three feet, and didn't even care to wipe off the "black blood" from his mouth. He kept groping for something inside his clothes, and finally took out a branch from his waist, and under the gaze of everyone in and out of the store, he stood there in a daze, not knowing whether to lie back and pretend to be dead, or run away.
"Haha~"
Brother Poisoned stopped laughing abruptly, and the tea guests present roared with laughter.
Ge Zhaodi's face turned red and black, and she glared at the poisoned elder brother viciously. The poisoned elder brother knew that he had caused trouble, so he covered his face with his sleeves and squeezed out of the store. Before he could take two steps, he felt a huge monster grabbing him from behind. He was thrown into the air by the irresistible force of the collar, which weighed ten thousand jun, and fell heavily beside Ge Zhaodi.
