Chapter 24 Prince of Wisdom
Mr. Wang tried to push away Hu Yimeng on him, but Hu Yimeng was tightly entangled with him.
Over there, Hu Yimeng and Mr. Wang are entangled. Here, Lianqin has been sitting next to the piano. Qiaoer holds a small incense burner. Lianqin took some incense from the incense bag she wore and added it to the incense burner.
The fragrance slowly floats out of the incense burner.
Lianqin sat quietly next to the piano. She slowly stretched out her white and slender fingers, and her dexterous fingers gently stroked the strings, and a clear and graceful sound flowed out of her fingers.
The cool breeze on the lake blew into the painting boat from the window, gently brushing the green gauze skirt and hair on the cheeks.
The sound of the piano is accompanied by the cool breeze and the fragrance of lotus from not far away, as if it can purify people's hearts. The whole painting is quiet, and everyone is intoxicated by this wonderful sound of the piano.
Lianqin lowered her head and played the piano attentively, revealing a large white and beautiful neck, as if she did not eat the fireworks of the world.
Such a quietness without saying a word, but just focusing on playing Yaoqin is shockingly beautiful and reassuringly beautiful.
Hu Yimeng understood why the peony girl she met in the Wanhua Tower that day, although she was an unparalleled beauty, was abruptly compared with Lianqin.
There are many beauties in the world, but they are so beautiful that they don't seem to disappear from the world at any time. Such women can stimulate men's possessiveness and conquest.
Sure enough, seeing that he was focused on playing the piano and becoming more and more elusive like a fairy, Mr. Wang wanted to get up again, and he didn't care about Hu Yimeng hanging on him. He strode towards Lianqin.
Lianqin devoted herself to the performance at this time, and she didn't know that the crisis was approaching her step by step.
Hu Yimeng is well-known. She quickly grabbed Mr. Wang and said with a coquettish smile, "Mr. Wang, Sister Lianqin's piano sound is really 'this song should only be in the sky, and you can hear it several times in the world'! With such a beautiful piano, if you don't drink a few cups, won't you fail to live up to such a beautiful scenery?
"That's right, that's right!" Mr. Wang clapped his hands and laughed, "How can you not drink wine with such beautiful scenery and beautiful women playing fairy songs? Come on! Set the wine!"
As soon as Mr. Wang ordered to set up the wine, a maid and a young man with wine and delicious food were placed on the big pear blossom table in the painting.
After drinking and eating, Hu Yimeng immediately took the wine pot from the little maid who was serving beside him, filled Mr. Wang with wine, and then picked up the glass and laughed, "Today, Mr. Wang invited Sister Lianqin to visit the East Lake together. Yimeng was lucky to ask his sister to bring Yimeng to see Mr. Wang, whom he had admired for a long time. This glass of wine is Yimeng to respect the king. Mr. Wang, you must drink it all~" Hu Yimeng put the glass to Mr. Wang's mouth and persuaded him.
"Okay, this cup is drunk!" With that, Mr. Wang raised Hu Yimeng's little hand and drank all the wine in the glass.
"The king is really good at drinking." Hu Yimeng flattered and said while filling Mr. Wang with wine.
This time, Mr. Wang reached out and stopped the wine glass she was going to pick up. He pulled the corners of his mouth, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Isn't it too boring for me to drink? Although you are a little ugly, you are still interesting. You know that I am not like other ordinary guests in Wanhua Tower. Today, you can have a few drinks with me first. With that, he took the wine glass in front of Hu Yimeng and motioned Hu Yimeng to fill his glass.
Hu Yimeng knows that she can't drink today, but at least she has practiced a little alcohol at work, and it is not easy for ordinary people to get her drunk easily.
So she took her glass and filled it with wine.
Seeing that Hu Yimeng filled himself with wine, Mr. Wang took away his hand covering the mouth of his glass with satisfaction and asked Hu Yimeng to fill him with wine.
Hu Yimeng picked up his glass of wine and said to Mr. Wang, "Mr. Wang, Sister Lianqin is the leader of our Wanhualou. Naturally, she is taken care of by you. Although I am not as beautiful as Sister Lianqin in Yimeng, I also hope that he can get more care of by the prince every day. This glass of wine is regarded as Yimeng. Don't refuse."
With that, she picked up the glass and drank it all.
The slightly sweet and fragrant wine flowed into the stomach, and Hu Yimeng also quietly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, ancient liquor is not as strong as modern industrial mass-produced liquor. This wine has a long taste and is not strong, but it has an endless aftertaste. Hu Yimeng secretly thought that the Wang family was rich, and the wine that Mr. Wang took out was indeed good wine. She can drink about two or three catties of this kind of wine.
When Mr. Wang saw Hu Yimeng unequivocally drank all the wine in the glass, he was in a good mood. He laughed and picked up the glass and said to Hu Yimeng, "Refresh! I like people who drink refreshingly! In the future, please report my name in this Wanhua Tower!" After saying that, he also drank all the wine in the glass.
The song of Lianqin is coming to an end. Seeing Hu Yimeng drinking with Mr. Wang, she didn't know how much Hu Yimeng drank. She was afraid that she would suffer losses. She was extremely anxious and her hands trembled and suddenly broke the strings...
The original beautiful sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and only the sharp broken sound echoed in everyone's ears.
Lianqin looked at the broken string with a pale face, and her mind was blank, and a trace of bad foreboding came to her mind.
"Miss..." Qiao'er suddenly turned pale and called Lianqin's name with some worry.
Lianqin lowered her head and raised her head after a while, and her face had recovered a little.
Hu Yimeng heard the sound of the string break, was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Lianqin. She lowered her head and could not see the expression on her face. After a moment, when she raised her head again, her face had returned to a light and gentle and gentleness.
"Well played, well played, worthy of being a well-known piano girl! I have a lot of rewards!" With that, Mr. Wang clapped his hands behind him, and immediately a young man came out with a jujube-red lacquer tray covered with a layer of red silk.
The little man walked to Mr. Wang, bowed down and handed the tray in his hand to Mr. Wang.
Mr. Wang lifted the red silk and put a plate full of silver ingots neatly on the tray. The silver ingots are all fifty taels, full of four rows, five in each row, which is a whole thousand taels of silver.
"Rianqin, look, are you satisfied with so many silver ingots?" Mr. Wang waved his hand proudly and asked the servant to send the silver to Lianqin.
Lianqin didn't look at the silver in the tray and let the servant put it on the table beside him.
Seeing Lianqin's lonely appearance, Mr. Wang's heart was even more itchy.
He waved to Lianqin and continued to say, "Rianqin, I have always been the master of pity and cherishing jade. If you are willing to follow me honestly, you will wear gold and silver, eat deliciously and drink spicy food in the future, and you will be prosperous and noble."
Lianqin didn't speak or pay attention to Mr. Wang. She just lowered her head and couldn't see the expression on her face.
Mr. Wang's silent resistance made Mr. Wang a little annoyed. He thought that he was born in a famous family, and the elders of the family were all the powerful figures of the Great Yu Kingdom. When he had suffered this kind of cold treatment, he pulled his face down.
The atmosphere was deadlocked for a while.
Hu Yimeng's heart tightened, his eyes turned, and he hurriedly laughed twice. He got up and walked to Lianqin's side. He pulled her and said, "What's wrong with Sister Lianqin? Suddenly stopped talking. Isn't it sad that this good Yaoqin has broken the strings? With that, he turned his eyes to Mr. Wang, who was unhappy and smiled coquettishly, "Prince Wang, Sister Lianqin has always been in love with the piano. Today, she accidentally broke the strings of this good Yaoqin. She is very sad. Please don't be surprised."
After saying that, she secretly pinched the heart of the pianist and signaled her to take care of the overall situation. Don't lose something big. Now think about how to protect yourself with all your strength.
Lianqin smiled gratefully at Hu Yimeng. She also knew that even if she hated the prince again, she could not provoke him at this moment without being able to protect herself. Just now, it was she who accidentally leaked the disgust in her heart and almost made Mr. Wang unhappy, but fortunately, Hu Yimeng cleverly played for her in time.
Lianqin's attitude softened. She bowed to Wang's son Yingying and explained, "Just now, Lianqin was very sad. Such a good piano was destroyed in Lianqin's hands, so she failed to respond to what the prince said. I hope you can forgive me."
"It doesn't matter. Come and drink a few glasses of wine with me to make up for it." Mr. Wang picked up an empty wine glass, let the maid beside him add wine, and raised it up to signal Lianqin to drink the wine.
Lianqin had to go to Mr. Wang, picked up the glass, covered the glass with her sleeves, and drank all the wine in the glass.
"That's right," Mr. Wang saw that Lianqin drank his wine, and then nodded with satisfaction, and his face softened down. "Let's sit down. Let's sit down and drink well!" With that, Mr. Wang stretched out his hand to put his arms around Lianqin's slender waist.
Lianqin couldn't dodge and was hugged by Mr. Wang.
Mr. Wang was in a good mood and laughed, while Lianqin had bitter words and a gloomy look in his eyes.
Hu Yi dreamed and suddenly said to Mr. Wang, "Sir, it's really boring to drink like this. Why don't we play a game?"
What game? But do you want to drink? Speaking of the drinking order, if I recognize the second place in Tianji City, no one dares to recognize the first place!" Mr. Wang said proudly.
Hu Yimeng narrowed her eyes, smiled cunningly, and said coquettishly, "Yimeng knows that on this wine table, the whole Tianji City belongs to Mr. Wang who is best at drinking, so how dare the little woman compare with Mr. Wang?"
"Oh? So what new games do you have? Mr. Wang suddenly became interested. He let go of Lianqin and listened attentively to Hu Yimeng's so-called new game.
