Feng Qing Shaoyi

Chapter 47
When Qi Ze was wandering in the garden, he saw Mrs. Yu playing the pipa. She was melancholy, bewildered, lingering, with a faint rhythm, full of affection, desolate and tragic. In addition, in this already deserted Morning Glory Garden, the night was lonely and melancholy, which made people feel sad. Sad tears.

"Madam plays the pipa so well, crisp and thick, eager and soothing, intense and euphemistic, each with its own charm, but it's a pity that it's too sad and sad." Qi Ze couldn't help admiring.

Madam Yu said with a smile: "I didn't expect Master Qi to be a person who knows the pipa."

"No, I don't understand." Qi Ze is usually very honest, "I just appreciate it."

Speaking of her talent, Qi Ze felt a little ashamed.Because apart from good handwriting and decent chess skills, she knows nothing else.Whether it is a piano, pipa or guzheng and other musical instruments, I just really only appreciate it.

Madam Yu laughed and said, "But there are not many people as honest as Mr. Qi."

"Master Qi, do you know the name of the song just now?" Madam Yu asked.

"I don't know, but the artistic conception of that song is profound and far away, quiet and elegant, it feels like a woman is waiting for her lover. But Ma'am sounds a little sad and confused, do you think of Mr. Zhao?" Qi Ze said seriously.

Thinking of making Madam Yu feel this way, it should be Zhao Mu, a heartless person.

"Yes or no, this piece is called "Sunset Xiaogu", and it is the last piece played by Master." Madam Yu said in a daze.

"Master Qi, do you know what the pipa can be used for?" Madam Yu said as she fiddled with the pipa with her bare hands.

"The sound of the pipa is to make people happy and cultivate their sentiments. Aren't all musical instruments born from this?" Qi Ze said.

She really doesn't understand musical instruments, so she can only speak out according to what she thinks in her heart. Isn't musical instruments just for people to listen to, to make people forget their troubles, and just to cultivate their sentiments by the way.

"The pipa is far more than that. It can do a lot, so many that people are amazed. It can even preserve a piece of water and soil." Madam Yu said, looking at the messy and withered branches of morning glory in the distance.

The speaker had no intention of listening, but Qi Ze kept thinking why the Western Wei people didn't come to disturb Sihe City for a while?Even the last time the food was looted, there was an interval of more than half a year.

She didn't think it was the conscience of the people of the Western Wei Dynasty who found out that there was indeed something wrong with Madam Yu's words.Use the pipa to keep the peace of Sihe City for a while?

Although it sounds unbelievable, it seems to be the case.So what happened between Zhao Mu and Mrs. Yu?Why do you say that Sihe City was protected with a pipa?
It seems that Zhu Yu Cangzhu is going to investigate carefully. She is also careless. She knows that there is a hidden relationship between Zhao Mu and her husband, but she doesn't investigate. This time, she must investigate and find out.

About half a month later, Que Yu came back.When he came back, he didn't suffer any injuries, and the expression on his face didn't change. He was very relaxed. It seemed that it was really a piece of cake for him to go straight to the Western Wei's lair.

When Meng Yanxi saw Que Yu come back, his face was full of regret, and he didn't want to let go of the fruit wine in his hand.Alas, it seems that we have to part with the fruit wine.Zhao Mu also hurriedly held a reward banquet to cleanse Que Yu up.

When Zhao Mu sent someone to ask how it would be held, Que Yu's performance was very indifferent.Although usually Que Yu was indifferent to such occasions, but this time Zhao Mu's expression was particularly bad.

Zhao Mu had no choice but to order others to figure it out.On the day of the reward banquet, Que Yu remained silent.At any rate, when they held the reception banquet for the first time, Que Yu would still know how to deal with the world and be polite.But now that's a look I don't even want to give.

Others don't know why?But Qi Ze knew that just a few days ago Qi Ze received the news from Zhu Yu Cang Zhu from Jinling in the south of the Yangtze River.And Zhao Mu once said that he and Mrs. Yu are both from Jinling in the south of the Yangtze River, so Qi Ze asked Zhu Yu Cangzhu to investigate in Jinling, but the result of the investigation surprised Qi Ze.

Qi Ze looked at Zhao Mu in front of him, and said softly, "Master Zhao, I heard a story in Jinling. Let's see if you have heard of it?"

Zhao Mu was a little stunned when he heard the words, he seemed to think of something when he heard the familiar place name, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, but he still said: "I don't know what story Master Qi is going to tell?"

"The Yu family has a female name and heart, and she can play the pipa well. How much is a talented person who sweeps eyebrows, but it is not as good as being able to lead the spring breeze. When you meet a newcomer on the south bank of the river, they know each other from "Sunset Xiaogu". Looking at each other from afar."

After Zhao Mu heard it, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Qi Ze, pursing his lips, not knowing what to say.

Qi Ze lowered his head and took a sip of tea, regardless of Zhao Mu's expression, he continued to speak: "Master Zhao, I heard that although his wife is ordinary and handsome, she is talented and well-known to everyone in Jinling. The morning glory in the south of the Yangtze River. Because I fell in love with Mr. Zhao at first sight on the bank of the south of the Yangtze River, when I accompanied Mr. Zhao to work in Sihe City after getting married, I only brought a pipa and a maid named Liandong."

Zhao Mu's face turned pale after hearing this, but he didn't say anything.

Qi Ze also continued to say to himself: "Just a year ago, when the Western Wei people came here to disturb the people, the people were in dire straits, ruined buildings, starvation and death everywhere, and devastation. Mr. Zhao tried everything to no avail, so he had to report it to the court. During the five months between when you reported to the imperial court and when General Que came here, the people of the Western Wei Dynasty offered their wife to play the pipa for them in exchange for a moment of stability in Sihe City. Although everyone knew it was an insult, his wife resolutely went to the Western Wei Dynasty Frontier played a song "Sunset Xiaogu"."

Hearing this, Zhao Mu's complexion was pale, his lips trembled, and his fingertips grabbed the clothes on his knees, which had begun to turn white due to too much force, and cold sweat had begun to break out on his forehead, his eyes wandered, and his whole body looked muddled.

Finally, he said: "Master Qi, please don't say it." The voice was trembling and weak, as if it was only uttered between the lips, the voice was very small, as if he was talking to himself.

"Before, his wife would go to see the morning glories in the city from time to time. But after that, people in Sihe City never saw his wife again." Qi Ze continued.

Zhao Mu seemed to have collapsed, and stood up directly in the banquet room, his eyes widened, and his voice was a little louder. "Master Qi, please stop talking."

"Then, where is the real Mrs. Yu?" Qi Ze's warm voice was unusually clear in the silent hall, as if the voice was close at hand, hitting people's hearts.

This seemed to be the last straw on the camel's body. Zhao Mu seemed to have completely collapsed. He knelt down on the ground, covered his head with his hands, tears streaming down his face, and shouted: "Master Qi, I beg you... …I beg you to stop talking. I don't know, I don't know anything."

Qi Ze looked at the collapsed Zhao Mu with a cold face, the truth is sometimes so unsightly.
