Chapter 134 Making insinuations
"Meet Madam!"
Liu Zhao looked around the room and saw a middle-aged woman with her hair tied up and wearing a light yellow skirt sitting there.
The phrase "still charming" perfectly describes the woman in front of me.
"Young Master, please sit down!" Zhao Ji glanced at Liu Zhao.
It was obvious that he wanted Liu Zhao to sit opposite him.
"excuse me!"
Liu Zhao said something polite.
"Sir, please have some tea first!"
In front of Zhao Ji was a set of tea sets.
Liu Zhao had no knowledge of tea brewing, and it seemed complicated.
Zhao Ji poured water and brewed tea in four or five steps before pouring the water into the white porcelain cup in front of Liu Zhao.
And I didn't see any tea leaves.
"Sir, with such a nice fragrance, do you know what kind of tea this is?"
"I don't know much about tea, but judging by the aroma, it must be top-notch tea!"
"Sir, you are quite good at talking. I wonder where your hometown is?"
Zhao Ji took a sip of tea.
"Qi Yang!"
"Qiyang is a good place with outstanding people and beautiful scenery! The current emperor was born in Qiyang!"
Zhao Ji seemed to be complimenting deliberately.
"Haha, has Madam been there?"
Liu Zhao felt a little guilty. If he had actually been there, his words would be easily exposed.
"No, Qiyang and Luojing are hundreds of miles apart, so we really can't do anything about it!"
"That's right, the transportation is inconvenient and it's really difficult to travel!"
Liu Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then what are you doing in Luojing?"
"Luojing is the capital of Jing Dynasty after all. Its prosperity is far beyond the reach of Qiyang. That's why I came to Luojing to see if there's any suitable business to do. I want to live in Luojing!"
"Is your family in business?"
"Yes, I opened an inn!"
"Opening an inn means it must be on a major transportation route! It's very profitable!"
"That's about right! The place is small, barely enough to support a family!"
This lie can only be told to the end!
"Who was your teacher since childhood? Could you please tell me a little?"
"My home is remote and there aren't many educated people, so I don't have a teacher. My parents taught me to read a few books when I was a child! There weren't any famous teachers!"
"No wonder, the poem you wrote has a very good artistic conception, but the calligraphy is really not good enough! It turns out that you lack the guidance of famous masters!"
"Exactly!"
Liu Zhao felt that her explanation really helped him to cover up a big lie.
"I haven't seen some of these characters before. You must be unable to write them, so you just wrote them randomly!"
Zhao Ji continued.
"Exactly, madam, you have a very good eye!"
Liu Zhao thought this woman was really interesting. Did she let him in just to give him some advice on his calligraphy?
However, since I needed help from others at this time, I didn't say anything.
"Alright! But the line 'A raincoat to face the mist and rain' is quite good!"
"Thank you for the compliment!"
Liu Zhao was polite.
"Sir, it's already late at night. I'm sure you didn't come here to listen to me play the pipa!"
Zhao Ji spoke frankly.
"Yes, I'm here to ask about someone!"
"hehe!"
Zhao Ji smiled gently.
"I'm not a gossip, sir, I'm afraid you've got the wrong person!"
"I heard that Madam is very good at playing the pipa and has taught many people to play it!"
"That's right, sir. Do you want to learn it?" Zhao Ji smiled.
"I'm not familiar with music, so I'm afraid I can't learn it. I wonder if Madam knows a girl named Deng Yi?"
"Deng Yi, I don't know him! Is he your friend?"
"Yes!" Liu Zhao did not hide it, "Maybe her name is not Deng Yi, maybe she has another name!"
"Haha! Sir, how can you find someone if you don't even know their name?"
"But she can play the song 'Luo Jing Xing' taught by Madam. I think only Madam can teach this song!"
"Sir, it's true that I wrote Luo Jing Xing, but anyone who knows a little about music can play Luo Jing. Did I teach them all?"
Zhao Ji's tone was very unfriendly.
"Okay! Excuse me for interrupting!"
There was no need to continue, so Liu Zhao stood up and said goodbye.
"Wait!" Zhao Ji stopped him with words.
"What's wrong?" Liu Zhao looked at her.
"Everyone who comes here is here to listen to me play Luo Jing Xing. Since you are here, why don't you listen to me play a piece?"
"Okay!" Liu Zhao sat down again.
Zhao Ji picked up the pipa and began to play.
Finish playing the song!
Liu Zhao couldn't help but admire it. Although he didn't understand it, it really sounded nice.
"Does the young lady Deng Yi, whom you are looking for, play the piano well?"
Zhao Ji put down her pipa and asked.
"Yes, it is simply the most beautiful music in the world!"
"How does it compare to mine?"
"I don't understand music, but it sounds exactly the same!"
"Haha!" Zhao Ji smiled, "That girl must be very beautiful too!"
"Of course, she's so stunning that she can make fish sink to the bottom of their chests, geese drop to the ground, and the moon and flowers blush!"
"Young Master, you have fallen in love with this girl!"
"Indeed, but I can't find her now!"
"It seems that you and that girl are not destined to be together!" Zhao Ji smiled.
"No, she promised to marry me, I will definitely find her!"
Liu Zhao secretly made up his mind that as long as Deng Yi was in Luojing, he would search every corner to find her.
"Young Master is truly infatuated. I see you've fallen in love with that girl, but she may not love you. Perhaps it's just a casual affair. What do you think, Young Master?"
"Impossible! I can feel that she is sincere to me, but why did she suddenly change her mind? She must have her own reasons!"
"How can one tell the difference between true and false in the love between men and women?"
Zhao Ji sighed.
"Of course there are truths and falsehoods, but I can feel that Deng Yi won't lie to me. That feeling can't be faked!"
Liu Zhao debated unconsciously.
"I would like to advise you, sir, that it would be best to return to Qiyang and find another beautiful woman! You must not let one person ruin your life!"
"If I don't see her, I will never go back! If I see her, as long as she tells me in person that she lied to me, I will leave immediately!"
"Young Master is truly sentimental, but you know that sentimentality only leads to hatred, and looking back, tears soak his clothes! Young Master, you are young, and you really don't know that the most deceptive thing in this era is love! A girl's words of love may not necessarily be true. Young Master, don't worry about it, go back to Qi Yang!"
"Love is in vain, hatred is in vain, looking back, tears are wet on clothes?"
Liu Zhao seemed to feel that this sentence sounded familiar.
"Have you ever heard of this poem, sir?"
"No, I have seen it!" Liu Zhao immediately remembered.
Isn’t this the poem that Shangguan Mi hung in his living room?
I read Shangguan Mi's works, and at that time I thought that these poems were not even close to those of Li Shangyin.
"Have you seen it? Where?"
Zhao Ji's voice instantly rose.
"A friend's place, what? Madam, don't you think she knows him?"
Liu Zhao felt that there was something fishy about this matter.
"No! How could I know him!" Zhao Ji's expression immediately returned to normal.
"Oh!" Liu Zhao sighed. His sixth sense told him that this woman must have some relationship with Shangguan Mi.
Shangguan Mi's poems are not masterpieces of famous poets.
I'm afraid she won't remember it so well.
"What are you sighing about, sir?"
Zhao Ji asked, her tone obviously much better than before.
"Nothing much. It's just that the poem you recited not only made me feel emotional about my own feelings, but also about my friend's feelings!"
Liu Zhao said this while observing Zhao Ji's expression.
Zhao Ji's expression changed. "Is your friend also suffering from love?"
"That's right! I'm already over thirty and still single. What a pity!"
"What's a pity?"
"It's a pity that at an age when you should be talking about love, you have to die alone. It really makes you wonder what love is in this world. It makes people commit to each other for life and death. Alas!"
"What is love in this world? It makes people promise to be together for life and death!" Zhao Ji repeated.
"Sir, please go!"
Zhao Ji stood up, turned around and left.
"this!"
Liu Zhao was confused, as he had just casually recited a line of ancient poetry.
"Not only can I speak, I can also sing!"
How can you just stand up and walk away?
Before he could react, Zhao Ji had already walked behind the screen and disappeared.
Liu Zhao had no choice but to come out!
Got nothing.
