Chapter 44 Beauty
After all, he is not very familiar with Shen Yu. Hearing this, Ye Ziyun was a little shy and said shyly, "Really, if I had known that I shouldn't have been troublesome just now. If I had changed this, I wouldn't have said so much."
Li Jin knew that she was embarrassed, so she smiled and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this. Yun'er is shy." Seeing that everyone was in good spirits, he asked Ye Ziyun and said, "Yun'er, where is the pipa we bought yesterday? Now the sun is warm. Why don't we go to the garden and play the pipa for us?
"The pipa is in it. I haven't tried it yet. I haven't moved it for a long time. I don't know what's strange. If I don't play well, don't make fun of me later."
"What are you talking about? We believe that Yuner will play well."
Ye Ziyun thought that she just bought a pipa yesterday, and she didn't have time to try it. It happens that the weather is good today, and it's good to play the pipa in the garden. So he asked Dongxue to take it out and go to the garden with Shuangwen first, and the three of them arrived later.
The flowers in the garden are still so blooming, a vibrant and beautiful scenery. Ye Ziyun has always liked orchids. At this time, the orchids are in full bloom and slowly walk into a piece of orchids. The thin and narrow leaves are green, and the lines clearly extend from the bottom to the tip of the stem, like a small green sword inserted upside down in the soil. There are one or two plain white petals between some pale green swords, each with only three petals, and some have three purple spotted petals between the three light green petals. Bend down, Ye Ziyun put his nose in front of a flower and slowly closed his eyes. A faint fragrance came from his nose. One more point was greasy, and one less point was weak.
Shen Yu looked at Ye Ziyun's intoxicated face. She stepped forward, also bent down and asked her gently, "Look at your appearance, do you like orchids very much?"
Ye Ziyun slowly opened his eyes with a light smile on his face: "How to put it, in fact, I like flowers, but I just have a little more preference for orchids."
"Indeed, girls like these beautiful and enchanting flowers, otherwise they can't come from the country. The orchid has neither the ten-mile fragrance of osmanthus, nor the watery fragrance of watery hibiscus, nor the strong fragrance of the night. It is very suitable for your plain dress now.
Ye Ziyun was a little embarrassed by him. He blushed slightly and invited him to the pavilion together. The two got up and followed Li Jin to Wangyue Pavilion. Everyone sat wide for a moment, and Ye Ziyun called someone to prepare. After cleaning his hands, he sat on the stool with the pipa in his arms. He smiled at Li Jin and Shen Yuyan and said, "I don't know what music Brother Li and Brother Shen want to hear?"
Li Jin took the lead in saying, "As long as it is played by Yun'er, any capital can do it."
Shen Yu looked at the autumn color of the garden and said, "Although it is late autumn now, the flowers in the garden are not much inferior to the spring. Why don't Yun'er give us a song "Yangchun Baixue"?"
"It's better to obey than to be respectful, then I'll make a fool of myself." Ye Ziyun's slender fingers gently plucked the strings, so the crisp sound of big beads and small beads falling on a jade plate lingered between their ears, and both of them were intoxicated in this wonderful music.
Shen Yu gently closed her eyes, and the beautiful scenery of winter and spring came, the earth revived, and everything flourished.
At the end of the song, Shen Yu applauded and said, "It's really a good song. The melody is fresh and smooth, and the rhythm is relaxed and bright. The person who plays is even more wonderful, and the interpretation of this spring is incisively and vivid. OK, OK, OK." I said three good words in a row. He said to Shuangwen standing outside the pavilion, "Examuse you to prepare pen and ink."
Li Jin motioned Shuangwen to go quickly, turned his head and said to Shen Yu, "It seems that Shen Yu has understood something?"
Shen Yu laughed and said, "I dare not say it. It's just like the beautiful scenery of a beautiful woman. It's really a pity to have empty years. Why don't you keep the painting and enjoy it in the future?"
Ye Ziyun put away the winter snow that gave the pipa to one side and sat at the table to drink tea for a while.
Shuangwen quickly brought the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and everything was ready. Shen Yu came forward, chose a small regular brush, dipped it in ink, stood in front of the rice paper with a pen, pondered for a moment, then took a deep breath, and splashed ink on the paper.
Shen Yu finished it overnight. After a cup of tea, she put down the pen and put down a pair of "Beauty Smells the Fragrance Picture" on the paper.
Li Jin and Ye Ziyun stood up and walked to the table to enjoy. Shen Yu's painting is the scene when Ye Ziyun leaned down and sniffed the orchid when he entered the garden. His beautiful eyes were slightly closed and his face was intoxicated. The curvature of the white neck elegantly stretched forward slightly. The delicate jade finger carefully held an orchid, and the tip of his small nose gently touched the white flower. The whole picture looked as beautiful as a fairy.
Li Jin saw that Shen Yu's painting skills were so good, and he also wanted to compete with Shen Yu. He could not let Ye Ziyun think that he was just a market-marketer who could only do business and did nothing else. So he said, "Brother Shen is really good. A picture of Beauty Smells Fragrance" is so out of the dust, but if it is matched with a prime minister. A good poem will be better.
Shen Yu arched his hand and said, "If you don't dislike it, please ask Brother Li to teach me."
Li Jin was not polite. He meditated slightly and picked up the pen and mentioned a poem in the upper left corner of the painting. Shen Yu finished reading it and praised, "Compared with Brother Li's strong and beautiful posture, like flowing clouds and flowing water, my painting skills are much inferior."
When Ye Ziyun heard Shen Yu's words, he also stepped forward to have a look. He couldn't help sighing. Unexpectedly, in addition to doing business, Li Jin's handwriting was really good. He wrote Su Dongpo's Yonglan poem: Chunlan is like a beauty, and he is not ashamed to offer himself. When I smell the fragrance of the wind and dew, I can't see Peng Ai. Danqing's portrait color, want to make up for the coquettish biography. It's like a spirit, and Guan Pei doesn't dare to swallow it. After reading it, he smiled and said to the two, "One is Danqing, and the other is good for everyone. It's a pity that I, a little girl, can't do anything, ah..."
Li Jin smiled and said, "Who says that Yuner can't do anything? Although the pipa can't be said to be unparalleled in the world, it is at least rare in the world. I think this scene is beautiful, the artistic conception is beautiful, and the person is more beautiful. I don't know what Brother Shen wants is as follows?"
Shen Yu replied to him with a smile: "It's true, it's true. This painting is also finished. Anyway, I have to go back to the city today, so I'll take it back. How about finding a good master to frame it and then give it to Yuner?
Li Jin didn't want to agree and wanted to go in person, but Ye Ziyun simply agreed, so Li Jin had to agree.
The sun set slightly to the west. Shen Yu got up and said goodbye: "I've been bothering you all day today. Brother Li and Yun'er have not rested in the afternoon. Please forgive me. It's getting late now. I'll say goodbye first. I would like to thank Brother Li and Yun'er for their hospitality, which makes me happy today, and I only feel that time is fleeting. If you don't mind it, I'll come to you in person another day and invite you to my house for a party. I don't know what you two think?
Li Jinyi arched his hand and said, "Brother Shen, you're welcome. If there is a chance, I will definitely go to the house with Yun'er to visit the Lord Lingtang."
It was not until he saw Shen Yu leaving with several followers that Li Jin turned around with Ye Ziyun. As soon as it calmed down, Ye Ziyun felt a little tired. He talked to Li Jin and went straight back to Linxue Pavilion to have a quick rest.
Ye Ziyun wanted to go back to sleep. Of course, Li Jin couldn't continue to follow him, so he had to go back to his Tingfeng Tower. Just after cleaning up, Li Jin was about to take off his clothes and lie down to sleep for a while. He listened to Shuangwen outside and reported, "Sir, Housekeeper Yang wants to see you."
Li Jin had to fasten the buttons again and sat outside the door on the edge of the bed and said, "Uncle Yang, come in."
Butler Yang came in and saw that Li Jin was not in the outer room. He went straight inside. When he saw Li Jin sitting by the bed, he walked to him and said respectfully, "Master, I still feel like to tell you after thinking about something."
Li Jin looked at him in surprise and said, "Is there something wrong?"
"Yes, it was Captain Zhao of the Dark Guard who came to tell me."
"Sit down and talk slowly if you have anything."
Uncle Yang found a stool, sat under Li Jin, and began to say, "Some time ago, Captain Zhao came to tell me that he found a group of people who seemed to be following you, but he didn't appear again after following him once. At that time, I thought it was a misunderstanding. Maybe it was a mistake, so I didn't care too much, but yesterday he came to report that that group of people I followed you into the city again yesterday, so I felt that there might be something wrong. After thinking about it, I came to tell you.
"What did they do?"
"That's not true. They just follow from afar every time. There are not many people, just four or five people, but they are not the same group of people twice."
"How do you know they are in the same group if they are not the same group?"
"Captain Zhao said that their clothes are the same as their habits. At first glance, they are from the same group of people."
"Has Captain Zhao found their foothold?"
"Not yet. Their people are very vigilant. As soon as our people get a little closer, they will disappear. This time, if you hadn't taught those people in the street and they were too close, we would definitely have someone following you. However, according to Captain Zhao, that group of people should not be malicious. It seems that their behavior is protecting someone.
"Who do you protect?" Li Jin touched his chin and analyzed, "These people are not ours, but who are they protecting? Should they be people near me? When was the last time Captain Zhao found out that group of people?
"It was the last time you went out to choose clothes with Miss Ye."
"There seemed to be no one else near me that day except Yun'er. Did they follow all the way?"
"Yes, I won't leave until I leave the city."
"Yesterday, I also went out with Yun'er. Both times, when I went out with Yun'er, Yun'er was present. Is she the person they want to protect? But didn't I take all the bodyguards with me when my eldest brother left?
"I also feel strange. It's reasonable that all their people have left. How can anyone protect Miss Ye? If it was really left by Mr. Ye at the beginning, wouldn't it be a little superstrate?
