Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 810
"Uncle Qiu!" Haruyue seemed to be so surprised that he forgot to open the courtyard door, and his wide-open mouth remained open for a long time.

"Is Shuyu at home?" Zhu Xiuyuan asked with a smile.

"Yes, yes!" Chun Xue regained consciousness, opened the courtyard door, and respectfully invited Zhu Xiuyuan to enter.

"Miss, you are sitting in the living room," Haruyuki said as he closed the door.

In fact, needless to say, Chun Xue said that Zhu Xiuyuan looked up and saw Dong Shuyu facing him through the courtyard and the wide open living room door, seemingly holding a book in his hand.

On the small desk in front of her, there seemed to be a guqin and a cup of tea.

When Zhu Xiuyuan looked through the courtyard, Dong Shuyu heard the noise and looked over.

Four eyes meet.

Dong Shuyu was obviously stunned for a moment.

It seems that there is still some... embarrassment?
Dong Shuyu's small courtyard is also like Dong Shuyu's small courtyard, with many flowers and plants planted. On the way to the living room, the corner of his eye is filled with all kinds of dazzling and colorful flowers.

But Zhu Xiuyuan was not in the mood to appreciate it.

Dong Shuyu in the living room seemed to be really embarrassed. She slowly put down the book, picked up a cup of tea and drank it slowly. The corner of her eye seemed to be glancing at the guqin on the table.

"Shuyu is... playing the piano?"

Zhu Xiuyuan walked straight into the living room and sat down opposite Dong Shuyu. There happened to be a chair there.

At the same time, Zhu Xiuyuan picked up the book on the desk with one hand and moved very gently, as if he was picking up the book from his own bookshelf.

Dong Shuyu, who was drinking tea silently with his head down, followed Zhu Xiuyuan's hand.

Judging from her book, that's okay.

But... gently stroking and rubbing the paper with your hands, a set of actions that you can't put down, what does this mean?
Dong Shuyu held the hot tea cup in both hands, and seemed to unconsciously put the tea cup close to her face. The heat emitted by the hot tea cup, like the direct sunlight in summer, made her already hot face even hotter.

"Is this music score?"

Zhu Xiuyuan took a closer look. There were some strange symbols on the book. They were not words at all, but the notes of the piano score.

After being surprised, Zhu Xiuyuan smiled, put the music score back in its place, and stared at Dong Shuyu with a smile on his face, "It's been a long time since I saw Shuyu playing the piano. The last time seemed to be... several months ago!"

"It seems... Shuyu's piano skills are very good! As the saying goes, it's better to arrive early than to arrive in time. Why don't Shuyu play a piece of piano and let me review it?" Zhu Xiuyuan said with a smile.

"Master Hou was joking!"

Dong Shuyu was still holding the hot tea cup and said a little coldly: "I don't know how to play the piano. This is just...in my spare time...I just try it occasionally."

Ding Dong!

Zhu Xiuyuan fiddled with the strings twice at random, making a messy ding-ding-dong-dong sound.

"Fun, fun!"

Zhu Xiuyuan admired, and then he moved both hands together, playing with it at will, making random noises without making any tune.

puff!

Chun Xue and Dong Mei, who were waiting at the side, and Qiu Wen who followed, the three maids couldn't help covering their mouths and snickering.

"Eh!"

Zhu Xiuyuan stopped and sighed: "If I weren't so busy with work, I would definitely find time to learn how to play the piano from Shuyu, so as to cultivate my sentiments."

The tea cup Dong Shuzhen held in her hand shook.

She was quite surprised.

"Master Hou can't do it!"

Dong Shuyu straightened his expression and said: "The Marquis is the God of Thunder, and he has important responsibilities. He should put state affairs first, and think about the people of the world... The Marquis went to learn to play the piano in person. How... is this! "

"Besides, I don't know how to play the piano, and I can't teach Mr. Hou. Please stop thinking about it!" Dong Shuyu said again, looking very serious.

Zhu Xiuyuan knew very well that she was arrogant, but she was actually very good at playing the piano. She said this just to dispel his idea of ​​learning the piano, especially from her.

"That's right, then I won't learn to play the piano." Zhu Xiuyuan thought for a while and said. Before Dong Shuyu could breathe a sigh of relief, Zhu Xiuyuan said again: "But I want to listen. Listening to it when you are tired is no less than drinking a sip of hot tea. ,Refreshing……"

Dong Shuyu is very smart.

When she heard Zhu Xiuyuan's words, she immediately understood.

Zhu Xiuyuan is doing the next best thing.

Since you can't play the piano yourself, let's listen to others playing the piano.

And the person playing the piano must be her, Dong Shuyu!

She instinctively felt that it was fake that he wanted to hear her playing the piano, but it was true that he wanted to get close to her intentionally at this moment!

Zhu Xiuyuan could not be allowed to talk any more.

"Why did the Marquis bring Qiu Wen here to look for me? It's dusk now, daddy is about to return home, and dinner is about to begin. Is there anything that we can't talk about in the flower hall?"

Dong Shuyu interrupted Zhu Xiuyuan and stared at him with burning eyes.

"Sorry, if you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten! Qiu Wen, come here." Zhu Xiuyuan waved.

"Uncle." Qiu Wen walked to stand behind him.

"Shuyu doesn't know something..."

Zhu Xiuyuan became serious for a moment, and immediately talked about Emperor Liang's strategy of agreeing to develop the salt wells in Sichuan, and that he would leave for Sichuan early tomorrow morning.

"My wife, Xia Wu, and I have left. It's quite boring for Qiu Wen to stay alone in the inner courtyard of the main house, so I want to entrust Qiu Wen to Shuyu and let her and Chun Xue Dongmei and the others be a couple. Companion..."

"Ah."

Dong Shuyu nodded, "Master Hou, please don't worry, Qiu Wen can come over at any time."

She paused for a moment, with a worried look on her face, and stopped talking for a long time before she said, "Your Majesty is going to the Liang Kingdom and Shuzhong. The journey is long and separated by mountains and rivers. Your Majesty, you should be more careful."

"Don't worry, we have made many arrangements and everything will be fine. Oh, by the way, there is also the Wuyi Square..."

At the moment, Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Shuyu chatted for a long time about Wuyi Square.

As soon as he talked about business matters, Dong Shuyu seemed to be a different person, his face was radiant, and there was a glow of confidence all over him, which was particularly dazzling.

"..."

More than half of the sun has already disappeared into the clouds, and the light that followed has also weakened a lot.

It started to get dark.

Chunxue and Dongmei lit three or five candles, illuminating the living room brightly.

"It's getting late, and dad should be back soon. Please come back, Lord Marquis. I'll tidy up, change my clothes, and prepare to go to the flower hall for dinner."

Dong Shuyu put down the already cold teacup, raised her eyes and stared at Zhu Xiuyuan.

"Well, that's fine too."

Although Zhu Xiuyuan said this, he still sat on the chair without moving. His eyes dropped down and stared at the guqin on the table.

Dong Shuyu followed his gaze and looked at Guqin.

Suddenly, Dong Shuyu's face tightened.

She was afraid that Zhu Xiuyuan would ask her to teach him to play the piano, or ask her to play the piano to him...

Dong Shuyu's temperament is sometimes very stubborn, but most of the time, she is actually very gentle and doesn't want to refuse other people's requests.

So she always felt uncomfortable when faced with Zhu Xiuyuan's invitation.

Because she had to find a way to decline politely.
