Chapter 24 Play a Song

Looking at the thick white snow outside the window, Nangong Jinse was a little lost. Sure enough, it was no longer snowing after the New Year.

Feng Qing walked in from outside: "Miss, my subordinates have been staring at the man in black outside the mansion, but he has not moved, so my subordinates don't know who he is."

Nangong Jinse turned to look at Feng Qing and said, "Since that's the case, let's go out for a walk."

Feng Qing: "Where is the lady planning to go?"

Nangong Jinse: "Go and return favors."

Feng Qing: "Miss means going to Prince Jing's Mansion?"

Nangong Jinse: "Well, I have to go there sooner or later. I will call Yuzhu and some people to get the piano. Let's go to Prince Jing's Mansion now."

Feng Qing: "Yes, then do you want to ask a few more people to follow?"

Nangong Jinse: "Follow."

"Yes, I'll prepare now."

Outside Prince Jing's mansion, Chu Hanyan had already driven here, with a smile on his face, and was holding something in his hand. In the mansion, Hao Lianjing was dealing with some trivial matters in the study. When he heard that the servant came to report that Chu Hanyan had come, he asked someone to bring her in.

Chu Hanyan walked in and saw Hao Lianjing with a shy look on his face.

"Brother Jing."

"Why is Yan'er coming? But what's wrong?" Hao Lianjing said gently.

Chu Hanyan lowered his head a little embarrassedly, and the sachet in his hand was tighter.

"Is it because Yan'er missed me again?" Hao Lianjing said with some teasing and came to Chu Hanyan.

"No, no!"

"Oh? Don't Yan'er want this king?"

"Think." Chu Hanyan quickly changed his mouth and his face turned red.

Chu Hanyan handed the sachet to Hao Lianjing and lowered his head and said, "This is Yan'er's show, and it is also Brother Jing's favorite Hanmei. I hope Brother Jing can like it."

After taking the sachet, Hao Lianjing took the opportunity to hold Chu Hanyan's hand in his hand and said tenderly: "Since Yan'er gives me a gift, I should return the gift."

Hearing this, Chu Hanyan looked up at Hao Lianjing expectantly. Hao Lianjing's mouth curled slightly and a kiss fell on Chu Hanyan's forehead. Chu Hanyan's face suddenly turned red like a cherry, and then buried her whole person in Hao Lianjing's arms.

"Yan'er's shy look really touched me!"

"Brother Jing!" Chu Hanyan said coquettishly.

"Okay, OK, I won't tease you anymore. I have to deal with some things. If you still want to stay, go to the yard to have fun first. After I finish dealing with it, I will go to find you."

Chu Hanyan nodded and walked out obediently. Hao Lianjing looked at the sachet in his hand, smiled at the corner of his mouth, put it on the table and ignored it.

Outside the Prince Jing's Mansion, Nangong Jinse and his group had already arrived here. Seeing the carriage parked outside from the Shangshu Mansion, they didn't want to walk out of the carriage and go straight to the mansion, but this scene happened to be seen by Hao Lianxuan who was passing by not far away.

Nangong Jinse and others were taken to the front hall by King Jing's servants. Passing through the garden, he saw a beautiful girl walking in the snow. He couldn't help but guess who this person was?

Chu Hanyan was also quite surprised when she saw Nangong Jinse. How could she come to Prince Jing’s Mansion?

The servant saw the question on Nangong Jinse's face and explained: "That lady is the granddaughter of Shangshu Chu, and her father is General Chu Muchu."

When Nangong Jinse heard this, she knew that Chu Mu was familiar with her. It turned out that she was Chu Mu's daughter, but she had a good appearance.

Hao Lianjing didn't expect that Nangong Jinse would come to find her today, so he immediately put down his things and went to the front hall. Chu Hanyan followed Nangong Jinse to the front hall because of curiosity.

Chu Hanyan: "My daughter Chu Hanyan has met the general."

Nangong Jinse: "No need to be too polite."

Hao Lianjing also walked out at this time, and Chu Hanyan immediately walked over and called out, "Brother Jing."

Hao Lianjing glanced at Chu Hanyan and then at Nangong Jinse and said, "Jinse, I didn't expect you to visit today."

Seeing the two of them so close, Nangong Jinse couldn't help but smack her tongue, and she didn't feel anything in her heart. After all, it's nothing to do with her.

Nangong Jinse: "I have met King Jing."

Hao Lianjing: "No gift."

Nangong Jinse: "My daughter comes to fulfill the agreement today."

Hao Lianjing smiled and said, "Okay."

Chu Hanyan obviously looked like he couldn't understand what the two were saying, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

Hao Lianjing: "Then let's go to Baihua Pavilion, it's suitable for playing the piano."

Baihua Pavilion! That is Brother Jing’s private place. She can’t go normally. Today she actually wants to take Nangong Jinse to go. Chu Hanyan bit her lip, feeling a little aggrieved.

When he arrived at Baihua Pavilion, Nangong Jinse exclaimed in his heart, what an elegant place, but he didn't expect that there would be such a place in Prince Jing's Mansion.

"Please sit."

Several people sat down and Yuzhu put the Qin in front of Nangong Jinse. Chu Hanyan became more and more angry when he thought about it. Why did Brother Jing treat her so special? He usually said that he wanted to play the Qin for him, but he said that the sound of the Qin was too melancholy and didn't like it, but today he spent so much effort to listen to a song by Nangong Jinse.

Nangong Jinse: "What does King Jing want to hear?"

Hao Lianjing: "Just do whatever you want."

Chu Hanyan said sarcastically: "Everyone in the imperial capital knows that the general's mother comes from a brothel. Your piano sound is probably similar to that of a brothel girl. It's really shameful to dare to show off in front of Brother Jing."

Nangong Jinse looked at Chu Hanyan with a cold face, not for anything else, just because she mentioned her mother. Hao Lianjing didn't expect that Chu Hanyan, who was usually gentle, would say such words.

Hao Lianjing: "Yan'er, don't talk nonsense."

Chu Hanyan looked at Hao Lianjing with some grievance: "Brother Jing!"

Nangong Jinse: "It's true that my mother comes from a brothel, but she is a noble woman who is not a good person. If Miss Chu speaks sarcasticly, don't blame me for not showing you mercy. After all, your father has been with my father for so many years."

Chu Hanyan: "Don't use your father to suppress me."

Hao Lianjing: "Yan'er, I'm going to get angry if I make trouble."

Looking at Hao Lianjing's angry face, Chu Hanyan bit her lip and stopped talking. Nangong Jinse didn't care about that much, just finish playing and leave. After all, she didn't want to play the piano today, just to investigate the man in black and came out to pay his favor.

The fingers slowly plucked the strings, and as the fingers moved, the graceful sound of the piano slowly flowed out. Nangong Jinse played it seriously, and the sound of the piano was distant and misty, and it felt like the snow around it melted in the warm sound of the piano.

As she played slowly, Nangong Jinse seemed to have returned to that summer. The surrounding trees were lush, white clouds and blue sky, and cicadas were roaring. Nangong Hao held Nangong Jinse's hand and slowly taught her to pluck the strings. At that time, she felt it was magical and would make a wonderful sound as the movement of her fingers. From that moment on, she fell in love with the piano and she also loved her father when she played the piano. She was so gentle.

Nangong Jinse, immersed in memories, also smiled.

Hao Lianjing looked at Nangong Jinse's fingers, soft as boneless, and the sound of the piano was even more wonderful, healing the soul, and the breeze blew the hair bit by bit. Such Nangong Jinse was like a fairy in the painting, so beautiful that it was incomparable. Hao Lianjing was stunned for a moment.

Chu Hanyan didn't expect that Nangong Jinse could play the piano well. When he looked at Hao Lianjing's straight gaze, he felt so uncomfortable, but if he played a little, Brother Jing would definitely be angry, so he could only be dissatisfied in his heart.

After the song was finished, Hao Lianjing slowly came to his senses and smiled faintly, but he didn't expect that he could hear it so much.

"Jinse's piano is really awesome in the world. I can hear it so much that I have the honor of three lives."

"The King Jing is too proud, and this song will surely be true. I and King Jing do not owe each other."

Hearing this, Hao Lianjing felt as if something had broken in his heart, but he didn't care. He believed that he and Nangong Jinse could not have been implicated.

Standing up, Nangong Jinse said goodbye and left. She didn't want to stay in this place for a second.

Looking at the departure of Nangong Jinse, Hao Lianjing still had a gentle smile on his face, but he thought to himself, the more you don’t want to get closer to me, the more I want to get closer to you, haha, what should I do? Jinse!

Chu Hanyan: "Brother Jing, it's wrong for Yan'er today. Don't be angry with Yan'er."

Hao Lianjing looked at Chu Hanyan, smiled gently, and gently stroked Chu Hanyan's face with one hand and said, "How could I be angry with Yan'er? Yan'er is so beautiful and charming."

Chu Hanyan bit his lip and said, "But, many people say that Yan'er's beauty is not as beautiful as Nangong Jinse."

Hao Lianjing: "How could it be? In my heart, Yan'er is the most beautiful."

Hearing this, Chu Hanyan finally showed a confident smile on his face.

After leaving Prince Jing's Mansion, Nangong Jinse got on the carriage, and Feng Qing whispered: "I have been following the man in black just now and watched him enter Prince Li's Mansion."

Nangong Jinse said calmly: "He really won't give up."

Feng Qing: "Would you like to transfer more people to come?"

Nangong Jinse: "No, he won't take action easily, let's be careful."

Feng Qing nodded and headed to the general's mansion.

When returning to Tingyu Tower, Liu Xuemei had been waiting for a long time.

Nangong Jinse: "Is there something wrong with my aunt coming to Tingyu Tower?"

Liu Xuemei smiled and said, "It's nothing, I'm here to thank the eldest lady."

Nangong Jinse: "What are you grateful to me?"

Liu Xuemei: "In addition to Wei Huilan and his daughter, the eldest lady gave me and Xiao Xiao a place to gain a foothold, so I would like to thank the eldest lady."

Nangong Jinse: "You don't have to thank me. There are some things I just want to do for myself. All you have to do is take care of yourself."

Liu Xuemei: "Miss, don't worry, I understand what should be said, what should not be said, what should be done, what should not be done."

Nangong Jinse: "That's good."

Liu Xuemei: "And after Wei Huilan's death, the old lady handed over the general's mansion to me for care. If the eldest lady has any needs in the future, she can tell me."

Nangong Jinse: "Then I will thank you aunt."

Liu Xuemei smiled and stood up to say goodbye.
